Amazing

While a person's disability is a part of them, and can sometimes seem like the biggest part, it is just that: one part. Narcolepsy is no fun. It is a burden I would not wish on anyone.  Sometimes it breaks my heart to see Narcoleptic struggle through a sleep attack. However, life is what we make of it, not matter what cross we have to bear.

I am so very proud of Narcoleptic. She continues to live each day to the fullest extent possible. She remains on honor roll and competes in cheerleading and science fair. She has friends, is a natural leader and is growing way too fast into a young lady. Narcoleptic is the most sensitive, thoughtful 11 year old I've ever had the privilege to know. This weekend she made her Dad and I breakfast in bed "just because". She tells me almost every day she loves me and that I'm a great mom. Well, she's a great kid. Narcolepsy might contribute to the person she will become, but it will NOT define her. She won't let it. And the person she is to come is going to be simply amazing.  Watch out, world.

I love you Aidan!

Hey everyone! It is Narcoleptic here! And I want to tell you about my brother, Aidan! He is the best brother ever! I LOVE HIM SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! But just sometimes he is mean. He says things like:

I hate you!

or I want you to die!

or I want to kill you!

Those types of stuff...

Well, That is a short paragraph of my brother, Aidan!

Emotional Side of Narcolepsy

Hi it is Narcoleptic, and I am going to write this post about the hardest part of the emotional side of narcolepsy. The meltdowns and the screaming. I mean, being a tween is hard enough. You know, boys, emotional feelings, and just everything! I have had about more than 20 or 25 meltdowns during this and the previous school year. Maybe I am just exaggerating....? But I have cried a LOT!  I mean most of the meltdowns is because I am just a girl, and I don't like the shape or size of my body. But, I do think that... I do think that my body shape and size is awful and I hate it.... Because I feel everything I wear makes me look "big". And don't say, "No honey, you look fine and beautiful, but every girl knows in their mind that it isn't. Comment if you have narcolepsy, and have to struggle with your metabolism, and or you feel this way about your body! PLEASE I NEED OTHER PEOPLE WITH NARCOLESY OPINION! Please write your story!

Love,
Narcoleptic!
