So for the longest time I just assumed most of my symptoms were part of being a teenager, and as I got older they would diminish; however now the opposite has occurred, they've gotten worse and hard to work with. I recognize that now it's a possibility that I may be suffering from some sort of disorder, so I need to find out what.
Since as long as I've been in high school I've been suffering from low energy and fatigue all the time. Everyday I get about 8 hours of sleep, and on top of that I'm so tired when I get home from school that I nap, and if possible I'd probably nap for 3-4 hours, however with basketball I can only nap 30 minutes.
Another odd problem I have been having is I get cold really easily. At school I always have to wear long sleeves shirts or else I'll be shivering all day. I'd also like to say I have an ultra fast metabolism, during basketball season I've lost over 9 pounds off my already skinny figure, and during lifting season I try to consume about 4000 + calories a day, and even at that rate, gaining weight is a slow process. Another symptom I've been struggling with is my eyes get really heavy and watery and its hard to keep them open, they have almost a slightly burning sensation.
Now probably the most likely situations I've already considered. I eat extremely healthy. I've dieted to gain weight accordingly by eating the correct foods. I handle stress fairly well and am pretty good at focusing on the present and controlling negative thoughts. The only time I struggle dealing with stress is when I'm feeling a symptom of being extremely tired or when my eyes get heavy and watery. I feel like I sleep the entire night, when I wake up I just want to sleep longer and its very hard to get up.
note: I am 17 years old, a Jr. in high school and I've reached my full height over a year ago.
