Hypersomnia

I found what I have is hypersommia. Sort of like opposite to insomnia? I keep sleeping and I wake up as if I haven't slept at all! I sleep over 10 hrs per day on a week night. And try to sleep like 12 hrs a day or more on weekends and it's still not enough!! I'm so sleepy its dangerous for me to drive longer than 15 min as I will doze off at the wheel. I can't chat to friends longer either as I lose concentration and then end up not really listening!!!

This is one of the symptoms of depression. And I'm also crying a lot too. So adding all this up sounds like depression to me.

A few of my friends have suggested I see a specialist but I want to see how I go in the next few weeks and see if the condition improves. I'm going to sleep at 9pm every night if I can and wake up at 8am and try and keep a consistent sleeping pattern.

I am very worried. I hope I am ok. I won't know what to do if I'm not.
