Narcolepsy and Socialising 🪫
My battery is drained right now, I’ve had an event every weekend in May and one coming this weekend. I love being around friends and family and celebrating all their milestones. But before I posted a ‘May Dump’ on my social media I was struck by how misleading the pictures are when it comes to having Narcolepsy. Behind the smiles and careful consideration of outfits was pacing myself before the event, naps and crash outs the following week.

My top 5 horror stories..where do I even start 🤣 some Narcolepsy related, some life related.

I have been reflecting recently on how far I have come and the level of happiness I have now compared to a few years ago. If it wasn’t my health it was my relationship and if it wasn’t that it was career. It has been a turbulent time. I have learned a lot but that doesn’t negate how s**t it was at the time. In a weird way I feel like I’m capable of moving past anything that’s put in my way now since I have dug myself out of so many holes 🙈
If this is you, it will get better. You might be in the trenches for a while but keep your head down, keep the belief that hope and lightness will come 🌈

When your energy is limited, you can’t afford to waste it on constant decisions.

So I try to plan ahead where I can —
organising my tasks for the next day and keeping on top of my budget.

Even simple things like putting my food shop into an app I can access anywhere (like Google Tasks) has been a game changer.

And I wear the same kind of outfit most days — black leggings, a t-shirt and a hoodie — because I just don’t have the energy to put together complicated outfits.

I keep a whiteboard where I can see my week as soon as I open my eyes, because brain fog and memory issues are very real.

Less decisions = more energy for the things that actually matter.

Things that cost more energy for people with Narcolepsy:
Decision-making

Even small decisions can feel overwhelming when your brain is exhausted😴 coupled with poor concentration and short term memory with a sprinkle of brain fog - it feels like you’re always having a mental battle with yourself.
