Hot Water Loses Pressure
The weirdest thing happens in my house. As I am using the hot water it slowly loses pressure until there is no hot water at all. Does anyone else know what causes this?

Welcome to the forums! At which location(s) is this happening at? Are all your stop valves turned completely "on"? What type valve comes out of the hot water side of the heater, if any? Some valves, if not opened completely will have swelling in the washer when hot water hits it, and that's the reason for the questions.

if this is a single handle valve you may have a bad cartridge/seats. You may have to pull the valve apart and change the inards out.
