    Sleeping so much is a huge sign of depression. I would be looking at getting her some antidepressants and getting depression under control. Being overweight is also very tiring. I was overweight and very depressed. After getting on antidepressants I ended up losing 60 pounds in less than 6 months. I’ve kept it off for over 30 years now! Being overweight isn’t just about eating too much

      But it is, it may start as depression not negating that one bit. However once you begin to over eat it becomes an addiction no different than heroin or crack. Just less deadly and more delicious and you can go to a drive thru and get it. Idk if Uber eats is delivering heroin to anywhere but Portland. All is all though it’s a mental health disorder to some extent but you have to grapple with the addiction to food at the same time.

      I am also anaemic and I kept thinking that I was more sick than I actually was. I was constantly sleeping and tired and it never occurred to me that I was low in iron until the doctor pointed it out during an appointment that was intended to remedy my depression. After six months of iron infusion, I am more energetic and less depressed. I'm sleeping 7 or 8 hours a day instead of 12 to 14 hours when I could. And the icing on the cake is my skin feels and looks better and I have definitely slowed down my aging. Even the dark circles around my eyes have drastically reduced. It's amazing what a sufficient dose of iron can do.

    Sleeping so much, It's not always related to depression. sometimes it is an extreme vitamin/trace element deficiency. e.g. For example, low iron levels can cause you to sleep so much. Also, certain medications can make you tired. especially antidepressants . without a very precise blood test, etc., simply to conclude that it is because of the depression is dangerous and stupid.

While he should prob do all sort's of test on her anyways, her severe obesity has gotta be one of the first problems to tackle. She's also probably sleepy because of blood sugar crashes, and perhaps dehydration. not to mention sleep apnea is very common in morbidley obese patients, which greatly reduces quality of sleep.

    It’s probably a vicious cycle at this point. You’re depressed because of your size and because your brain lacks essential nutrients with that poor diet (e.g. vitamin B, a deficiency of which causes low mood). And when you sleep so much you are constantly lethargic, have no energy and keep eating. As someone with anxiety and panic disorder, luckily under control for several years now with antidepressants and better life management skills, I really emphasise with her. I wish her well.

    I relate to the sleeping for depression. At one time I was sleeping about 14 to 16 hours a day. In addition I did not have energy to go to the grocery store and cook a meal. I started eating at restaurants all the time. I am better but after an eight year. I gained approximately 30 pounds. I also have no motivation or energy to exercise or move. And I was a high school dance teacher for my career and always very thin. I really I am supportive of her but the depression will have to improve for her to move forward.

    “I’m afraid I might see something that upsets me”,is rather priceless! If you haven’t seen anything that upsets you before you may be clueless……..Good luck!

    This was recommended today. She moves so gracefully and well. Traveling two days to get the help she needs and wants. She’s incredibly inspiring. The way she speaks with such honesty and knows she needs to make a change. Bless her, I hope she gets on track ❤

    Love how she starts off by saying “I need to stop taking care of everyone else and just take care of myself”, and right after that we find out she sleeps 16hrs a day.

    I would listen to her voice for any audiobook at bedtime. I just absolutely love it. It is weirdly comforting. Does she have a social media?
