Exhausted all the time

Disclaimer - I am not asking for medical advice at all.

So 2 years ago I started medication for mental health. And 3 months after I became extremely exhausted. I lost my job because the tiredness would take over. I would get 9 hours of sleep at night and now its increased to minimum 21 hours of sleep every single day. I have had days where I have slept for 3 or 4 days straight.

Even the smallest of tasks will put me into very bad burnout and I can never seem to recover from even getting out of bed and doing daily things.

I have never had any luck with doctors but I told my current doctor that I sleep this much and she said "everyone gets tired, get over it'. I've been tested for narcolepsy and I don't have that.

I don't know if its chronic fatigue or what it is. And I can't see myself ever getting my life back.

Does anyone else experience this level of exhaustion?
