Hey guys! This is tired27...I forgot my password so I registered again using the name tired28. Well, I am here to tell you all the results of my sleep study. As you know, I am the one who posted "what a freaking joke!" if you scroll down you will see that post. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that my results came out negative. I do NOT have sleep apnea or any other sleeping disorders such as narcolepsy or restless leg syndrome. My doctor said that I was breathing just fine during the sleep apnea test and that I did not nap during the narcolepsy study. This is wonderful news but now I don't know why I am so tired. I can't even work because of this tiredness. I tend to eat pretty healthy and take multivitamins and my blood work always comes out normal so I know it isn't anything physical. I am thinking it is due to clinical depression because my body doesn't handle stress well. I tend to be a very anxious person, a problem I have had since childhood. Also, I am a very shy person and don't know how to make friends so this could also have caused feelings of depression. I had a nervous breakdown when I was 19 because school was stressing me out so much but they may have been because I took such a hard major. I was going for pre-med but it was too hard for me so I switched to psychology, a much easier major. Although I have a college degree, I can't really work due to the depression and the tendency for my body to not handle pressure well. My psychiatrist advised that I try to limit my stress as much as possible and she told me that I don't have to work. My future husband doesn't want me to work, so I guess that won't be a problem. However, being a housewife isn't easy either. Oh god...I'm really stressing out as you guys can tell. I purchased Lucinda Bassett's program in hopes that it will help me to better handle my anxiety and depression. My sleep doctor told me to take provigil which will give me a boost in energy and hopefully keep me awake so I can focus on living a better life. I really hope it works. Please guys, let me know what you think! Thanks!
