I keep getting low moods especially at night

Im due a med increase in a couple of weeks so im hoping this will help a bit but what if it doesn’t?

Also, i feel spaced out and tired as im sleeping 12 hours every day and waking up at around 4pm.

The spaced out low mood and tired is making me feel like i don’t exist im not really here, im pretty numbed out as well. Im thinking of trying to break the bad sleep by staying up longer until tomorrow night

That’s hard to deal with. I hope you talk to either a dr or a therapist or both for some help

Me too. My doctor moved my med schedule around to help. Honestly what helped the most was lying down and watching funny shows until falling asleep. Just de-stressing and going to bed early is completely okay.

It’s not okay that you feel awful throughout the day. Tell your doctor how you feel. But also be easy on yourself. If the weather is nice, just sit outside and rest in a chair. Or make yourself a nice cup of tea with gentle music. Throw your blanket in the dryer and snuggle under it with your favorite show. When our energy is low, it’s vital to work on our emotional and mental well being to avoid being upset more than we already are.

When I used to sleep for 12 hours my doc wrote me modafinil after that sleep went away but headache took its place

Ive never heard of a med taken for oversleeping before

I’m sorry but funny movies just aren’t funny to me when I’m depressed.

Well my plan didn’t work to stay awake for 30 hours to get sleep pattern back, ugh, so im just hoping i hear my alarm Monday and wake up with that
