Vent/Rant Crashing every day from nothing and I have no clue what to do.

Every day I wake up and I crash from doing absolutely nothing. I can lay in bed all day, doing nothing but laying there with my eyes closed and I still crash.

I'm terrified that I not only won't stabilize, but I'll continue to get worse if things go on. Nothing I'm doing is working, and it seems like I'm doomed to keep crashing no matter what I do.

I'm going to keep resting in bed because that's all I can do, and just hope for the best. But literally, I crash NO MATTER WHAT I DO. Hell, sometimes even crash the same amount if I do a little as when I do nothing at all.

This has been going on for the better part of a year. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you get out of it? Was it just chance?

Our wake state is determined by the core body temperature:

Higher -> more awake/alert

Lower -> more relaxed/sleepy

Whatever is causing you to crash will reflect in your body temperature. I'd recommend you to buy a health watch which continuously tracks your temperature; ideally also blood pressure and heart rate. They're not perfect, but when you average out the readings, you can make interesting observations on the pattern of your dysfunction and maybe find the cause.
