what is the matter with me?

For the past week now i've been having trouble sleeping. In one day i'm usually awake for about either 24 hours and the next day i sleep from morning till 7 at night. and it be the same routine the next day. I dont know what is the matter with me anymore. I feel so lightheaded. I have no engery anymore, i get dizzy and sometimes i feel i'm not functioning right anymore. My parents have noticed this as well. I dont want to be taking any sort of medication over the counter not until i get seen by a professional. I'm having chest pains too and my stomach is always hungry and when i do eat its only a little and i'm full. I have this nerve recking neck pain that has been there for 3 weeks now. I get easily irriated. I dont know how long I can keep this up because I do want to pass out sooner or later. What is the matter with me? Also are all these normal?

Sounds like symptoms of depression to me. I have had days I felt like that, and if it weren't for my kids I would have been doing the same. In fact on days that they spent with their dad...I would sleep nearly til noon. And that is waaayy long for me.

I would say these things are NOT normal and you should most definately be seen by your doctor as soon as possible.

Good luck to you.

I've been feeling the exact same. I could have wrote this myself. I had a bunch of tests & they said it's unlikely to be cardiac related. Maybe you should get checked out by a doctor soon, because for you it may be another cause which could be serious, the fatigue, dizziness, it could be related to blood pressure, it could be anything. x

Do you drink a lot of alcohol?

I know what you are going through and I think it is the stress of what you need to decide or have decided. Your sleep cycle is out of wack your body is responding to the stress and everything else. You stay awake till you basically pass out and then sleep for a long time to catch up and then repeat the cycle. I think seeing your doctor and possibly getting something to help with depression and stress will help.
Stress can affect your body in a lot of ways. When I first "found out" what my ex did I didn't sleep for 3 days and ate once but didn't taste it. I usually can't miss a meal without getting a headache but not then.

Take care of yourself, body and mind and you will be okay.

No, I dont drink alcohol. But I do smoke. After put it aside 4 months ago I find my habit of smoking again.

Yea, but you know my sleep pattern has been going on for a week now.
Like last night i was out having family dinner. I took a bite and was just full. I'm trying to hang in there because my family is trying to get me help but there are some days that I just want to comptely pass out. I dont know how long I can wait until help is on the way. My dad is mad at me because I can never follow through anything. Which makes it worst. i registered for classes and because I didnt follow through one with class i'm afraid i cant follow through 3 more classes. Because I cant seem to digest the information there giving me in class. So i have to give him an explanation as to why I dont want to go. Its like everything is stacked up and it wont die down. I'm this close to go through another breakdown. Really am.
