What's wrong with me?

I have this consistent lack of energy that is becoming uncooperative with the rest of my life...
I sleep all day, I sleep all night. There's no real way to explain it, except it's like I'm all burnt out from meth and am stuck in an eternal "crashed" state... except the bizarre thing is, I haven't really been doing uppers. And unlike with meth crashes, I might not eat for days. I should also add, I just realized today I haven't gotten a period in months.
As a matter of fact, I haven't even been doing any drugs for weeks. I don't know what's wrong with me, except that I don't have energy to wake up anymore, and it's interfering with my school and work life. I don't even want to groom myself or feed myself. I might get up to grab a soda every few days.
Today I finally stopped sleeping 20+ hours of the day, and got up after sleeping around 14 hours. This post is the 2nd most energetic thing I've done in 2 weeks. The 1st was taking a shower.
I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I'm not depressed (emotionally), and there's nothing wrong with me physiologically (at least nothing outwardly suspicious)... so why the sudden flatline?

i'm about to call it a night, but...
this definitely sounds like depression. i don't want to scare you, but I seem to recall watching a documentary of a meth addict who abused the drug for years and when deciding to become sober, found she could only feel numb at best. the drug had damaged many of the nerve endings that produced all those feel good type chemicals in your brain.
you know yourself better than anyone though. do you think there could be any psychological reasons for this?

Prego?
Otherwise.. It's a funk.. break the habit. Go bust a sweat doing something you don't normally do. Just mix it up as much as possible.

This sounds more along the lines of what I'm feeling (the 2nd paragraph). except i quit meth sometime almost 1 full year ago (its around 10 months now...?)
i dont know why im suddenly getting super tired. it feels physiological too, not psychological. i adopted a dog from the shelter so that i would remember to wake up at least once or twice in the day to feed her and take her out for a walk (i also made sure she was a VERY OLD senior and about to croak any day, so she wouldn't be as hyperactive and would be more on my level)

Depression does not always make you "depressed" two of the biggest symptoms are sleep problems, and apathy. It is something to think about. You also might want to check into a thyroid problem.
Go to a doctor.

wait, okay, now that i recall, there WERE roughly 3 times i had a guy cum inside of me within the past month, BUT that "semen" came from a guy who got his testicles blown off from a gun in a fight... im not joking either... he's been declared "infertile" ever since the incident, his "cum" actually resembles more like pre-cum.. so if I got pregnant with HIS baby, that would be like... the most amazing miracle ever...

If you get used to sleeping that much, you'll be tired all the time. Sounds like depression to me.

Do what I do though it's terrible advice.
Feel constantly tired and down? Do more Speed.
Do it all the time and you won't feel tired and down and when you do you just keep doing it.
It's horrible advice but it does work.

I have a feeling that your lack of energy is caused by your lack of food. Food is fuel. When I skip I meal I bottom out really hard, really early in the day. I've had huge issues with low energy for years and only recently did I realize that it was caused by my habit of ignoring my appetite and putting off meals as long as I could stand it.
So: force yourself to eat even though you aren't hungry. Fruit and smoothies are good when you feel like that, because they are light and easy to digest. A smoothie made of frozen yogurt with berries, juice and a small scoop of protein powder is delicious and nutritious.
If you haven't had a period in months this very well may also relate to not eating. If you fall below a certain body-fat ratio, it'll mess your menstrual cycle up. This is a common problem for atheletes and anorexics.

my EKG and urinalysis both show up as abnormal (i will receive more specific details on monday...) i'm still waiting on my bloodwork. but yea, damn, reasons could be anything ranging from renal failure to chlamydia to myocardial infarction to diabetes mellitus to syncope.

is this list just you being paranoid or something?
anyways, what was wrong with the u/a? Or did they not tell you?
the diabetes and thyroid thing are possiblities, besides the more mundane depression. Diabetes would also show up in a u/a depending on your blood sugar at time of urine production did they do those glucose tolerance tests where they take blood at several diff times to see your metabolism? or did they just draw all the blood at once?
also, i don't know how common it is, but I've known several women who get anemic quite easily
women allready have lower hemoglobin counts, I presume from menstruation, and if you don't get enough iron or whatnot it can cause a pretty marked tiredness. But this is easy to detect, so I'm sure they'll let you know

if you want to know the truth
you pretty much fit the definition of a histrionic personality disorder.
You've been caught repeatedly making up horrendous stories and lies and you pretty much do whatever it takes to get a shock-factor out of people. Even if it means making up stories to prove your point.

Do you think it could have anything to do with your opiate usage? Do you still use? If so, how much?
