-- Posted by britfuck at 10:43 pm on Nov. 25, 2008 it's turning into a really big issue. my mom thinks i skip school intentionally, when i really like going, but i can't get enough sleep. i only sleep during the day. i think i have FMS, fear of missing something, but i don't know. my mom won't take me to the doctors, to check for sleeping disorders. i really need to sleep. i'll stay up all night, and go to school, only to fall asleep after school and not wake up for 20+ hours after. i need some help. don't i? -- Posted by Periwinkle at 6:49 am on Nov. 29, 2008 20+ hours asleep does definitely sound like a problem. I agree that if possible, you should go to a doctor. How old are you? You should be able to make an appointment for yourself without your parents there. I think that the age in the UK is 14, and then you're a patient in your own right, but I'm not sure. Take matters into your own hands; after all, it is your body.
