But you seem fine
.#WritcoStoryPrompt93
Days that seemed to go on forever, and times when you couldn't find someone to talk to. The days when people are all around you but you still couldn't find anyone to pour out the sorrows hidden in your heart though. The days when you need to speak about feelings but all you do is end up lying.
One such story was mine, Oh I forgot to introduce myself, Hii my name is Anna. And today I'm going to tell you about gloomy days of my life
Since childhood I was a very studious, active & extrovert kind of person. I loved to go to school & make friends. I have lots of friends but Stacy is my best friend. Be it studying, participating in school contests or doing mischief, we did everything together. My life was just like any other ordinary girl, but only until I turned a teen.
I still remember the morning, where it seemingly begun.When I woke up I was feeling really tired. But even though I was exhausted I got myself out of bed because it was sports day at our school & I didn't to miss it anyway so I went down for breakfast (Actually I was feeling this way since a couple but didn't paid heed to it) I sat on table mom served me breakfast & was about to leave for work, that's when I fainted & fell on the floor. The next thing I saw was our family doctor. He said I don't have fever or so I might have fainted because of weakness. He gave some meds. For a couple of days I didn't go to school because I had no energy to even get out of my bed. Even after taking the medicines I was still not feeling any better so mom took me to another doctor. This doctor told that the reason behind my fatigue was probably hormonal changes in my body,so he gave me some more pills.A week passed & there were no changes seen. I was still very weak. So we again went to a different doctor, this time doc took my blood for test, did some check ups & called us after 2 days for results.After 2 days I was really eager to know what's the thing that's making me so tired I wished to get an accurate answer but all went in vain.All he said was “There is nothing wrong in any of her tests so she might be acting it up” Then he looked at me & said “you should be a little brave & go to school go to school even if you are not feeling so well" This made me very sad (it felt like he was mocking me) Mom said thank you & we left.
While we were heading back home in a taxi I looked at mom with tears in my eyes & said “mom.. I'm not acting.. I'm really sick.” Mom hugged me, stroked my hair & said ``I know honey, all this might be really hard for you, but you should really try to go to school" I nodded my head saying yes. (For a moment it felt like even mom was not believing me) From the next day onwards I started going to school again.
I met Stacey in the corridor, she asked “Where have you been all these days, you haven't replied to any of my texts” I saw her messages but didn't had strength to talk or explain everything to her. So I didn't replied to her messages. But, now I felt really guilty, so I just said “umm.. I was sick ” without making eye contact. Then the bell rang & we went to our class ( It felt like I lost connection with Stacey)
While returning back home, I told everything to Stacey, but all she replied was “take rest & you will be fine.” I nodded my head ( how could I tell her I was sleeping and was still feeling tired.) I went to school for a few days but later, again I was not able to wake up, All I did was sleep all day & wake up only for meals, even though I was sleeping all day I was still feeling exhausted So mom took me to a specialist ( I was not very hopeful but stood with me like a pillar, she was the greatest strength for me during those times)The specialist said looking at the symptoms it seems like you have narcolepsy, but I have to conduct some sleep tests to be sure.So I was admitted in the hospital for 2 days. They connected some wires to my body & head. Two days lateer doc came back with reports. She said “ According to sleep patterns & symptoms I think she has narcolepsy” (My eyes were filled with tears of joy, not for the fact that I was ill, but the actual cause of illness was finally found, this made me happy)
Then mom asked “What's narcolepsy?” “Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness. People with narcolepsy often find it difficult to stay awake for long periods of time.” said doctor “How can we cure it?” questioned mom, “There's no cure but we can control it with medicine” replied the doctor. Then she gave mom a prescription & then we left.
Few days later I felt a bit better so I started going to school. I wasn't feeling as tired as I was feeling before. Slowly & steadily I was returning back to my old routine. I started playing & having fun at school with my best friend Stacey & other friends. My life will never be same before, but I still tried it to the fullest just like I did before
