I am a 19 year old female, currently unemployed. I cannot seem to get enough sleep, i can easily sleep 8-12 hours and when i wake up, i sometimes can hardly keep my eyes open! I keep getting headaches, am irritable and just feel i cant function properly.
I have been feeling depressed recently, but surely feeling down cant make me feel THIS ill? :-(

Sweetie, chances are that your symptoms are all related to your feelings of depression. It is amazing how depression can affect the entire body! The symptoms you describe are very common in one suffering from depression. However, many illnesses exhibit the exact same symptoms so the only way to know for sure is to see a doctor. Please schedule an appointment with your doctor for an examination and possible testing to find out the exact cause of your symptoms. Good luck!

Hello. I would ask your doctor to check your thyroid levels. I felt the same way at your age and I have hypothyroidism. It just menas that my thyroid gland doesn't produce the right amount of hormones my body needs to feel right.
Cheers!
