About a year ago I got laid off and was thusly more depressed than usual and slept through a lot of days. Got a new job and got all that sorted, but the excessive sleepiness has not left. I can easily sleep for a day and a half, only getting up to eat, pee, or feed the cat. If I don’t have plans for a weekend, this is how I spend it. I dread even making plans because I feel like I’m going to be too tired. Or I end up cancelling plans because I can’t make myself get up. I don’t generally feel like doing much on weeknights though either.

My sleeping patterns have always been sorta messed up, but this feels excessive. Being able to sleep for days?! That can’t be normal.

Mornings are rough, too, it is way harder than it should be to drag myself out of bed. I’m luckily I have fairly flexible hours or I’d be in trouble.

And I don’t even know that I’m necessarily “tired”. Just devoid of energy and feeling indifferent to being awake/existence. Maybe it’s ongoing depression, maybe it’s executive dysfunction on steroids, but it entered my mind this morning that maybe it’s perimenopause?! Is that plausible?
