Hey Matthew, I also just turned 21 in February! And suffer from narcolepsy with cataplexy. Its always hard to find people that understand. Even though my friends/family try to be supportive they'll never understand how it feels or how difficult it can be to do simple tasks because of exhaustion or that feeling when you have a cataplexy episode and can feel/hear everything going on around you but are trapped unable to move in your own body. Anyways I check back here every couple days, so we can chat if you want.

Exactly and the only people who actually know and feel what it feels like are the people who have it and aww yes please if that’s ok with you do you have Snapchat and how often do you have cataplexy episodes and which is worse for you your narcolepsy or your cataplexy and I’m always here if you ever need or want to talk or anything

But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
