About Me
I'm a 23 year old senior sociology major at Georgia Southern University. I'm passionate about becoming a bereavement counselor. I love listening to and helping others when it comes to grief.

I've felt so alone in this battle and hope I will meet some friends on here who understand.

Close Narcolepsy
I was just officially diagnosed with Narcolepsy last week, although it's been suspected that I've had it since I was a teenager. I'm excited to have a diagnosis but I feel this intense sadness that my professors won't understand.
Treatments
- Ritalin Too Soon to Tell
- I've been on it for 6 days now. I have headaches all the time and still feel constantly tired. Once I fall asleep at night, I AM OUT!! I have even more problems waking up in the morning now.
