from The Reformed Tired Girls Club Podcast · host Heather Copfer

Apparently having narcolepsy isn’t just exhausting (duh) but it can also make people upset with you (cool).In today’s episode, we’re talking about how your health issues don’t just impact you, they start to creep into your relationships too. I share what it was like dealing with narcolepsy and how something completely out of my control could frustrate the people around me.I get into how confusing and conflicting that felt, trying to explain something people don’t fully understand, while also already feeling insecure about it yourself. And how that ripple effect can show up in friendships, dating, and just feeling misunderstood in general.Sometimes it’s frustrating, sometimes it’s actually kind of funny, but either way it’s a lot to process. And if you’ve ever felt misunderstood because of your health, I get you gal.
