I asked about the weight and the eyes because a person I used to know had Graves Disease for a long time before his doctors checked him out. This is a disease of the thyroid and is easy to treat. he had the same sleeping issues, and would actually sleep every other day. His medical problems led to self medicating with stimulants and other stuff I am cant remember. he also drank a lot, ended up running with a drug crows, all while in the military. This led to a court marshal and jail. You should get all your physical stats checked, hormone levels (like thyroid) and see if there is a simpler reason for some of your issues.

Because I come along to the doctors with symptoms that could be all kinds of weird and wonderful things so they do a full blood screen. To rule out it being anything they have an easy test for.
