Ahh, miraculously I had a little energy today! Certainly not much, but at least I didn't sleep all day and night like I've been doing the last few days. I've literally only been awake about six or seven hours total each day until today, and spent the rest of those hours fast asleep.

I went by the bank, and they reversed one of the charges, but the manager was sick today so I couldn't get any more reversed. .____. I'm going back tomorrow and hoping things work out! I'm going to be irritated if they don't forgive less than three more of the charges. (They can keep one for good measure if they must. :/)

My parents are all stressed-out and pissed-off and spent a lot of today yelling at each other on the phone, but at least they seem to finally be starting to realize that my energy problems are legitimate and not just me being a lazy bum. I love my parents and for the most part they're awesome, but boy can they be stressful to deal with! I'm definitely the most level-headed and mellow person in the family, haha. Anyway, they've both apologized for getting so mad at me, hopefully they'll try and lay off the drama now.

With all the sleeping I've been doing, I had some WTF dreams, haha. I started documenting them but then got bored, so...uh. I dunno.

Now that I'm somewhat awake, I think I'm going to go make a list of what I want to do during my semester off, aside from necessities such as going to the doctor, psychiatrist, etc.

*snugs* More and more it's reminding me of my illness, and that worries me. What other symptoms are you experiencing? I can tell you though that the very first thing I got tested for was Mono/Epstein-Barr, and I'm fairly sure nowadays there's a test for Mono that can tell you if you have it or have had it. That might be a good place to start.

Also, ugh, getting past the "it's not real" thing is the worst, and to this day I get doubts that what I have is really as severe as it is, that I'm just not "trying hard enough". If it's not detectable on a test some doctors refuse to acknowledge it exists, and people with conditions such as Fibromyalgia (one of my current #1 suspicions as to what I have) have to battle that with every new doctor they come across. It's ridiculous.

Hopefully what you have isn't at the debilitating severity, so you won't have to stop your life while you find treatment. *snugs* Either way, it will be alright, sooner or later the both of us will get our energy back.

*Hugs* I'm glad at least we have each other to understand... As far as other symptoms, there's nothing overwhelming, really. Lately I've had some more phlegm in my throat than usual (possibly a little cold or something? IDK), I sometimes get a bit dizzy or see spots, occasionally have tingling in my hands and feet, but really the most prominent symptom has been fatigue and sleepiness. Oh, other than that I'm also quite forgetful, don't have much focus or motivation, and get rather gloomy sometimes--but those are all rather general depression-type symptoms.

Yeah, my parents are both very high energy people so they tend to assume for whatever reason that I'm just being lazy. I keep having to explain that I really, honestly do not have the energy--I'm not just faking it and I'm not exaggerating it. It's unfortunate that people can be so...oh, I don't know...dismissive of something like this. It's not some little thing. :(

Thank you, I think I'll hopefully be all right in the long run. I'm sure you will, too. There's got to be some doctor or someone out there who knows what's affecting us and can help. We've just gotta hang in there!

Oh dear, that's worrisome, those match a lot of my symptoms. How's your mental clarity? And how severe are your symptoms, are they a nuisance, minor block, or debilitating? Hopefully what you have isn't as severe as what I have. My fatigue physically debilitates me enough that I wear out really fast, my mental fog keeps me from just powering through the fatigue to go back to school, and I'm experiencing various degenerative neurological symptoms. Dizziness, poor balance, rapidly worsening eyesight with spots, low-grade widespread pain, and trembling. If you're not there I think you will be fine, I literally woke up one day as bad as I am now, with the degenerative symptoms slowly worsening over time.

*snugsnug* Hopefully it's just something minor and very curable. <3

Hope you get to feeling better soon! It does sound like you ought to see a doctor at your earliest convenience, but you know that already!
