u/Dare-Scared

Hello, i have been waiting a month and a half for the local institution to assign me my psych appointment. This is ruining my life

A year-two ago, i have been able to wake up even if I didn't sleep 8-10 hours. Sometimes you have to get a project done and that's how things work. I prefer doing things later in the day because that's when im home alone.

I have used alarmy, with various or multiple tasks like scanning a qr code in the furthest room away from mine, shaking my phone, doing math. Nothing gets me to wake up. I think im in a state of sleep inertia when that happens and I don't know how to explain it but at that moment, it feels like I don't have thoughts. Like im a doll someone is moving just so i can turn off my alarm. Besides alarmy, i have a physical alarm clock, and a basic alarm on my phone. While in sleep inertia, i am able to turn off the second alarm in alarmy by typing a long sentence, then turn off all of my upcoming alarms. I don't know why i do that.

I wanted to mention that i have also had situations where i fall asleep in the train, again not a thing i want to do. I have ended up missing my station twice. It's uncontrollable like i unironically have to hold my eyes open with my hands or stand the whole 2 hours so I don't fall asleep, even if in doing something like drawing or doing a crossword. I am not like this in other situations.

I take zoloft 50mg, but as far as i noticed it doesn't have any connections to my problem. It's a big problem for me and nobody gets the fact that i DON'T want to go back to sleep. Everyone including my mom calls me lazy and scolds me that i need to be "more responsible" it's exhausting.

Hi, im not asking for a diagnosis. I have had a set of symptoms, that i recently realized weren't normal. I had no idea other people didn't feel like this.

•not always, but blood pooling in hands and feet. Sometimes i also have cold hands or feet

•standing, feels like torture, i don't feel sudden fainting feeling but it's so so uncomfortable to the point it overstimulates me and i have to swing from foot to foot

•often, when i get up, i need a few seconds so I don't faint

•i don't tolerate heat easily

•lower blood pressure in general, but i do feel symptoms of it

•i feel a lot of fatigue, this is also due to low b12 which i take vitamins for.

•im always tired and always always need to sit

•i don't know if i have heart palpitations, i remember it happened to me once (like heart skipped a beat) but I can't define what's normal and what's not about my heartbeat.

•i haven't had recent fainting issues, i did feel like fainting but prevented myself from it

I'm asking this because I want to go to the doctor but first i need to know if these are worrying. How do healthy people feel like standing? How long can they stand for before feeling uncomfortable?
