Honestly, that kinda happened to me.
Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.
Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…
Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/

This was me except I was disappointed when the blood test came back completely healthy. I guess it's all in my head after all...
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they're often overlooked (speaking from experience).
Thank you, I think it was a mix of anxiety/depression and life circumstances. The stress causes me not to eat enough in the first half of the day and I would feel very low energy.
Since then I've started a new job, moved across the country, got back into the gym, and that reset has helped a lot.
It was Celiac for me... It's such a relief to be able to make a change and do something about it instead of "just getting on with it."
Mine was noticed because I have a multinodular goider. I asked about potential issues with it a couple times over the years and was always told I just needed to lose weight till the doctor finally noticed it in my early 20s. Who knew it was a lot easier to be active and control your appetite when your metabolism is actually working and you don't feel like you always wanna crawl into bed?
You normally will get it after puberty, pregnancy, or menopause(at least with what I have, which is hashimotos thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. Not sure about others) so, if it's similar you likely developed it during puberty like myself and didn't realize it or notice the changes because you assumed it was normal.
This was me except it was narcolepsy. Which isn’t as fun because it’s incurable and also largely untreatable. Most medications and aids are supportive, not corrective.
Hey mannn, bro to bro, stop treating your disorders like they're a personality. That's all millenials do is make up disorders and self diagnose. This is why I became a therapist actually, went through all the liberal bs they told me at Yale, am now a registered therapist and secretly when they come in I tell people to stop self diagnosing, they keep coming back and I keep telling them this very thing. Wonder when they will learn, hopefully before the company I work for finds out and fires my ass.
