▲ 6 r/Narcolepsy
My daughter has autism and adhd just like myself, I also have 2 other children (her brothers) with autism and adhd
I am exhausted and only my oldest (12) seems to understand I need a 20 min nap. My daughter always tells me there is nothing wrong with me. She tells me to just blink a lot and open my eyes. She thinks I am just wanting to sleep or choosing to. I have pushed through sleep attacks because of this and recently gave myself second degree (almost 3rd degree) burns because I fell asleep while cooking and splashed myself with butter/flour. How can I get through this and still have my child's trust or love?
I feel so guilty with this disease
Anyone have something similar..?
