You can't accept what you don't know about. If OP has a condition that impacts her life this much then it's up to her to disclose it right away.

Has anyone else noticed that from the wording of this fml, it sounds like OP passed out and when she woke up her date was already gone? Like he just LEFT HER THERE. UNCONSCIOUS. In whatever public place they met at. Who the **** does that? Even if he did accept the fact she has a condition afterwards, that is still a seriously dick move on his part.

I have a cousin with narcolepsy. She probably didn't expect to fall asleep on her date, it usually happens when you are sitting still and not really engaged. You shouldn't be expected to disclose your personal medical conditions on a first date, that's just unreasonable. It's understandable that the guy was upset, but he definitely shouldn't have just left her there, so rude.

but is he not accepting it, or just thinking its a lie?

I'm not an expert on narcolepsy but that is something I would tell someone before a meeting them, because if you have an episode they could freak out and call 911 or something.

Whether to tell someone would depend on the severity of the narcolepsy, which would be under the individual's discretion, but if you have strong episodes it's probably best to notify the person you're spending time with so they understand what could happen. However, as a sufferer myself, I understand why OP might not want to tell a person she doesn't know well yet. It's a medical condition, which can be pretty personal for some people, sometimes people treat you differently once you mention you have one. Also, sometimes we're mocked and ridiculed because many don't understand the condition beyond the fact that we "fall asleep," and there's a lot more to it than that. Or worse they can call it fake, think you're lazy, and just mean about it. I will say there are many people out there that are accepting, OP. I met my boyfriend of a year and a half online and he is incredibly understanding and accommodating.

It depends on the condition. If it's something that may interrupt your date, then yes you should most definitely disclose it beforehand.

You mean like diarrhea?

How?

15: I'm guessing you don't understand how narcolepsy works...

You have no idea what narcolepsy is, do you? We have sleep attacks, it doesn't matter how excited we are, once an episode hits, that's it, we're just done and pass out instantly. Our sleep attacks are equivalent to an epileptic having a seizure, it's uncontrollable.

From what I've heard, being excited can be a trigger for a sleep attack, right?

It doesn't generally trigger a sleep attack, but intense emotions can trigger what is called a cataplexy attack. Which is when the muscles weaken or spasm causing the person to lose control of them, like knees buckling, neck weakening, arms go limp etc.
