Horribly oversleeping and can't control sleep schedule. What is wrong with me?

2 years ago, when I was 16, I left the school I was at to go to a different school. I have very bad social anxiety so I didn't really make any friends in my 2 years at the course, and I was disillusioned by the quality of the course and hated it, so I all but stopped going after 6 months. Because I was never in and never out, and my sleep schedule would constantly mess up, but I didn't really mind too much. Until it started to become me going to sleep at horrible times and oversleeping. For example, I would often have a sleep schedule that would match or closely resemble going to bed at 8am and waking up at 1am. I used to be able to fix it but it would always mess up again. The thing is, for the past 6 months or so, I've been completely unable to fix it. I went to my GP about it around a year ago and he gave me some websites to look at, but the information didn't help me at all. I'm reluctant to go back to him because he doesn't really seem to care when I go to him about things and it even feels like he doesn't believe me on alot of things. (I once went to get help for my social anxiety, and he told me he'd put me on a waiting list and I'd have to wait 6 months for therapy, after about 7-8 months I contacted him and it turned out he didn't even bother putting me on a list) I've tried everything, staying up for up to 24 hours or sometimes more at a time so I could go to sleep at a decent time, trying to fix it 'backwards' by intentionally messing it up an hour or 2 at a time for a week until it synced with normal people, the usual way of fixing it slowly by trying to sleep earlier which I could never do. But recently it's gotten really bad. I woke up around 1am aug 6th (yesterday) and stayed up until 11 pm, and then proceeded to sleep for just under 30 hours (it's now 4:50am and I woke up just under 20 minutes ago). My mind just isn't working right and I can't think straight, hence why this is written so poorly. I can't keep track of time anymore. I don't know what to do. It's ruining my life but I have no clue what could be wrong with me and nothing comes up when I try to google the symptoms.

Try to get into a professional that is certified in sleep medicine (i previously saw a pulmonologist, now I see a wonderful neurologist). There are many possibilities. I went in because my husband was so sick of my snoring and found out i have narcolepsy. See a specialist, it can change your life
