I am twenty-one years old and male. I have a pretty demanding special ed educator job. Lately (since about September) I have started to see what sounds like a sharp, abrupt decline in my metabolic rate.
I try to eat healthy, I eat a fairly balanced protein-heavy diet with all the nesseary vitamins, I did tests, I don't lack any micronutrients. I work out on a fairly regular basis, primarily jogging. I sleep pretty well and get a healthy 7-8 hours. I do not smoke/drink/vape/do drugs, outside of a cup of coffee with my lunch.

None of this changed and yet since autumn I have gained a significant amount of weight and constantly felt fatigued and drowsy, nearly every day resulting in involuntary blackout episodes where I wake up with no memory of how I fell asleep, and usually any actions I took whilst doing so (People sometimes say that I spoke to them in a half-asleep state but I remember none of it). This does fall short of narcolepsy in that I do wake up in bed, I just do not recall how I ended up there. I feel like I get no energy from eating and digesting food anymore.

What could be the cause of this?

Idk, but you're extremely neurotic. Maybe you should speak to a psycho analyst if you're able to.

Nigga see a doctor.That sounds serious. Why the fuck would we know what to do

Sudden weight gain could be hypothyroidism. But it could be any number of other things too. You need to see a doctor and get some tests done.

This is either diabetes or a thyroid issue.
