reader, anonymous, writes (11 January 2009): this is exactly what i had! about a year ago wheni left school i didnt have a job and i didnt go to college now i do tho :D.. but wheni left i found myself bored after a while soo i found myself sleeping alot and each week i seemed to start sleeping for longer and then longer then i felt myself not eating much and always getting body aches and being quite moody and always just wanting to sleep when my mum used to try and wake me up i used to have to drag myself out of bed to do so!! but i found out this was all down to sleeping TO MUCH!! sounds silly but if you start to get up earlier and only have a bout 9 hours each night you find yourself gettin out of bed much easier and less tired u also get less body aches as you are stretching your muscles which you arent doing when your sleepin alot! you also have a better appetite as your metabolism starts going when your active so then you want to eat! so basically sleep less and eventually you will get in a ourtine and you will be a lot less tired because your body doesnt feel as if it needs as much sleep :D

reader, anonymous, writes (1 July 2008): Yeah I know this is on top of everything else, see a doctor. I have a hunch what it is but I'll feel like a prat if I get it wrong.
Don't panic though. You've noticed the symptoms and when you see your doctor they'll find something and they'll have a solution.
Keep us posted to what it is. I am intrigued =)

My friend had something that sounded similar; she slept all the time, got dizzy and was diagnosed with Graves disease which is a thyroid problem. Her doctor wanted to operate on her thyroid but instead she went to see a holistic/integrative doctor who recommended detoxifying and organic raw vegetable juicing and she got better. I'm not saying you have to do the same treatment but please see a doctor, get a diagnosis, and do thorough research on your ailment. Best of luck to you!

I know what's wrong with you, and you know it too.
I've been through all that.
EAT.
You're obviously taking the conscious decision not to eat.
These are the results of that.
Excericise for atleast an hour a day (whether it's running or swimming or whatever) DONT go overboard though
Eat 3 healthy meals a day, eating something will do your body far better than not eating.
& PLUS healthy eating, (veg, salads, fruit) and excercise will make you feel so much better.
I've done my body so much damage through eating disorders, don't make the same mistake.

 You won't know what is wrong until you see a doctor but your symptoms could be an underactive thyroid or diabetes mellitus as both make you feel VERY tired (I write from experience!). It could be a range of conditions but only blood and urine tests can confirm/ exclude diagnoses and this is why you need to see a doctor.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 June 2008): I think it's from the age of around 12, but you definately have a right to confidentiality by the age of 14. Call the surgery and give them your name. You can tell the doctor it's confidential before you tell him what's wrong.
The NHS in the UK run a 24/7 telephone advice service. You can contact them on 0845 4647 if you need emergency advice. Don't be afraid, call them, they are there to help. Again if your worried just tell them your age and tell them you'd like to keep things confidential.
Good luck babes, don't delay, anything could be wrong. So give them a call right away.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 June 2008): Yes, all of the aforementioned advice si good - hey, I'm no expert on this but these symptoms I've seen and heard of before in someone I knew personally: depression.
Please, as all others have said, see your doc. If it is depression, it can be sorted but as I say, we're no medical experts.
Good luck Miss.

 To the doctor, as soon as possible. If you can't afford one, go to an emergency room. We are not medical experts and cannot diagnose your symptoms. Sorry, but you really need to be seen by a doctor.

 I'll just have to say what the rest have said: Go to your doctor. It doesn't sound good at all.
It could be anything and until you get yourself checked over you don't know what it is.
Go to the docs ASAP.
Good luck.

 I can only repeat what's already been said. This could be something as easy as changing something in your diet, or something that could be life-threatening if you don't get it fixed right away. Only a doctor can really tell you for sure. You need solid medical advice and you need it now. PLEASE don't delay.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 June 2008): Dosen't sound good... GO TO THE DOCTOR
We can advise you over the internet, we can't see you, we can't examine you. You need to see a doctor, anything could be wrong. Tell the doctor everything you've told us.
I wish I knew what country you live in. Here in the UK we have a 24hour hotline run by the National Health system. If you live here, please update and I'll give you the telephone number.

 well i suggest that instead of asking us wat wrong with you (us being agony aunts and regular joes) GO TO THE DOCTOR my god with symptoms like these i'd be at my doc in a heartbeat - it could be pregnancy, anemia, cystisis, urinary infection, hormonal imbalance....anything. my point is your not going to get a diagnosis here so why aren't you with a professional? there is obviously something wrong with you so go and get it sorted! good luck and i hope you get well
