I am 18 years old and for as long as I can remember I have not once woken up feeling like I have actually slept. I wake up feeling worse and I can hardly get out of bed. I dream all night and it seems to be getting more vivid and realistic. Sometimes I have a hard time depicting whether it or not it really happened. I toss and turn and talk and make noises in my sleep. Often times I have such a hard time falling asleep because my eyes just feel like they cant hold still and my body will tense up. I wake up frequently. I am always tired and worn out no matter what I do. It's to the point where I just dont know what to do. I am depressed because I do not want to feel this way anymore, I want to go out and have fun but I am too tired. I have anxiety all the time over stupid stuff and it seems to just get worse. Finally i asked my doctor and he gave me anti-depressants and told me to see a psychiatrist. I did and was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD and OCD. I took ritalin for a few months but made me so sick and miserable. I weighed 125 when i started the pill and after the three months of taking it I was 90 lbs. I stopped and then finally just recently tried a new med. It helped somewhat. I can function enough to get by but still not where I want to be. Hoshimoto thyroidism runs in my family and I keep asking my doc but my blood tests always come back normal. I dont know what to do anymore. I feel like I am taking these meds just to get by day to day but I feel I just do not have all these things. I also think I am hypoglycemic because if I do not eat every couple hours I get really sick and shaky and feel like I am going to pass out. I have been so close to passing out and my doc still doesnt seem concerned. I feel like there is just one underlining cause of it but I cannot get my doc to listen to me. I have been seeing the same doc since I was a baby so I dont want to find a new one but i need someone to listen! What should I do?? Any suggestions on what is wrong with me? Should I find a new doc?

Hi Pinkash - I can't tell you about your symptoms and possible ailments but I definitely think you should get a second opinion. It is never wrong to get another doctor's opinion. It often helps a lot just to have a different doctor take a fresh look at things. I would suggest that you find the best endocrinologist in your area - travel a reasonable distance if you have to - and get a real expert's opinion. Don't just continue to feel miserable - find the best possible doctor and get help. It might take a while but don't give up till you get answers.

I wish you the best. - mass-
