Random early morning thoughts

Woke up at 2 am in panic mode, which is the nature of #PTSD . Sometimes, I want to get in my car, turn on some music, and drive to the beach. It's a 20-minute drive. The thought is nice, but I have too many responsibilities right now, so I sit and quietly listen to Sleep Token in a dark family room that nobody uses anymore. It's quiet and calm, though, and I'm thankful for that. How are you all doing out there?

Dying slowly...

Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time... It's the fear of failure but no urge to be productive... It's wanting friends but hating to socialize... It's wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely... It's caring about everything, then caring about nothing... It's feeling everything at once... then feeling paralyzingly numb... insomnia take your sleep away... losing your appetite...

More On Narcolepsy

I looked it up and Narcolepsy also comes along with nighttime insomnia and severe hunger when sleepy, which is why I am up a lot sometimes at night and often eat a lot before or after I sleep during the day. Also, I do not get hungry when I am not sleepy. I just eat a typical amount of food and then I am done. Maybe this is connected, I don’t know.

The cups

When you’re younger, your cup is whole, but as you grow older the hole begins to grow.

Out from the cup your water flows into others, the flow only passing on and on.

The day comes when you realize,

’well what about me?’

but you let it go on too long, you let it happen too much and now you’ll never be complete. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Insomnia #LateNightThoughts #ADHD #exhausted #BipolarDepression

Sleep Disorder Update

Alright Friends Back To Sleep Now. I have been working on learning how to cope with a recent diagnosis of narcolepsy. It is working for the most part because my ear problems are my number one and they are mostly in remission. However, I am going through a lot of caregiver changes at the moment and that is causing my stress levels to go up and down a lot. This means that the sleep wake cycles in my brain are messed up again because stress and heat are my other two main triggers for my sleep wake cycles getting out of wack, which can lead me to experience excessive daytime sleepiness, nighttime insomnia, and an intense need to eat whenever I get like this.
