Juvenile Myoclonic since 12, Circadian Rhythem sleep disorder at 17.....life basically stopped at 18....have an epilepsy that is sensitive to sleep, have a sleep disorder that basically makes me live a 28hr day, and never going to bed at the same time 2 days in a row....constantly miss appointments, job opportunities are non existant, friends and family dont understand to the point where i dont even get invited to family events like weddings or bbq or anything else you can think of.

I dont know what else to say but I spend 90% of my life alone in the dark not because I want to but because everybody is sleeping. I have the mental capacity to be a doctor and have an ability to excel at what ever i try or do, but in the end I dont know how to use my talents in society's framework.

instead of living life, experiencing it, loving it, I just wonder if I will be awake tomorrow so I can at least talk to someone
 
You did wake up today so you can speak to me, that is great, I get to meet you.

This forum was made by Bernard out of love for his wife, Stacy. That love permeates throughout the whole forum.

I have trouble sleeping at night, I drink Chamomile tea and Sleepy Time tea. When I cannot sleep even with that, I read my Bible.

Family members, I have had problems with them all of my life. They need to be educated. When my friends and family members still did not accept me, they disowned me. True friends accept you as you are. If they do not accept you as you are, then they are not your friends.

There are exceptions to that. I have had epilepsy since I was 6 years old. I am now 70. I have been disowned by my family and accepted back into my family.

I keep a Positive Attitude!! Put a smile on your face!!:) Laughter is the best medicine.:roflmao:
