Excessive sleepiness
(Bit of age context, I’m 19)
So I’ve been in and out of hospital for the past month due to my brittle asthma. So since coming home I’ve been EXTREMELY tired.
I got out of hospital a few days ago now and I’m struggling bad to stay awake during the day. I live with my parents and my mum HATES how tired I am.
I genuinely cannot keep my eyes open after a couple of hours of being awake but she will stand there and yell at me till I get up and do something (clean usually).
I get worn out very quickly (especially straight out of hospital). Like I can’t stand around for too long or walk around the house too much. Cleaning is a HUGE strain on my breathing.
My mum literally will not let me nap or rest as often as my body is aching for it. She keeps saying “well just push yourself through it” but I don’t think she understands I could fall asleep standing up that’s how intense it is. It makes my whole body hurt and makes things 100% harder to emotionally deal with.
I’m not really sure what to do. I am getting enough sleep at night, it’s broken up sleep though because I wake up coughing and short of breath a lot. So it’s not sleep deprivation.
I woke up 2 hours ago and I’m already struggling to write this but I’m genuinely scared of trying to nap because I’m just going to get ripped in to.
