Yo, My name is Jack
I WAS a very bright student who was predicted many grade 7's and A's in year 10 and 9 but in the last few months (from January) my grades have gone skydiving to the point where i'm barely passing exams, and still are on the decline, due to my rather unexpected diagnosis of the sleeping disorder Narcolepsy.
The amount of school i missed and still do miss is astronomical, and unfortunately there is not enough time left to make up for all that lost work at home, ive had to drop Economics and ICT in order to focus on my core subjects, where even still i got dropped to Double Science as i missed ALL of unit 3 in Chemistry, Biology and Physics
Due to all of the afore mentioned, my motivation levels have dropped significantly, i find it hard to even get out of the bed in the morning as it's a "whats the point situation" im never going to achieve as i should have, so why should i bother, knowing im always gonna be seen as a failure.
Also, the sheer ignorance what Narcolepsy even is, and how people can just tell me to stop being lazy, really infuriates/upsets me with that person and the world, as in fact it is a disorder as common as Multiple Sclerosis (about 1 in 2,000 in the UK are effected)
It also seems like
Nobody, not even the doctors are able to sympathise with how much this actually affects me, and im guessing all the other people, suffering from this very debilitating disorder.
In order to purge the ignorance of Narcolepsy, and even just inform some of you fellow students of the science behind Narcolepsy or if anyone is just curious about it, im open to reply to any comments left, and will try my best to help you to understand, as it will help the world to realise, what it is in its entirety .
Thank you,
Jack
