Having another one of those "really tired but can't sleep" stints, it seems.
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
those are the worst
Pinkachu
I used to get them a lot about a year ago
Pinkachu
Well, okay, rewind a bit
Pinkachu
I've had this basically since I can remember
Pinkachu
But the most severe flare-up was last December/January
Pinkachu
Where I was going days without much if any sleep
Pinkachu
Now it's maaaaybe once every month or two
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
i get something like that every once in a while. Its like my mind refuses to switch off no matter how tired.
Pinkachu
Yep
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
it was bad when i worked overnights
Pinkachu
That's basically me
Pinkachu
It's always trivial stuff too, like a small snippet of a song
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
i usually just remember stuff. like events and things that have happened.
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
the later in the night usually depends how horrible they end up being 8|
Pinkachu
Yeah, I don't have the anxiety thing like that, it's just
Pinkachu
Music
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
man like a radio you can't turn off
Pinkachu
Yep
Pinkachu
Except it's usually just a 10-20 second portion of a song
Pinkachu
On repeat
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
oh my god thats hideous
Pinkachu
YUP
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
i am so sorry
Pinkachu
That's me right now
Pinkachu
Eh, it's fine
Pinkachu
I don't have it as bad as I did, so sleep aids usually knock it out of me
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
ah that is good at least
Pinkachu
When I was in that amount of time from... just after Thanksgiving to probably mid-late January
Pinkachu
Nothing worked
Pinkachu
And I was having daily mental breakdowns
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
:c
Pinkachu
Due to lack of sleep/my idea that any doctors I saw weren't taking it seriously
Pinkachu
Which, honestly, they weren't, but it was intensified by not being able to think about it rationally
ᴛʀᴜᴛʜ ᴄᴀʀᴅ
oh geez. yeah sleep deprivation is good for that
Pinkachu
My husband has the patience of a saint, I have no idea how he handled those few months
Pinkachu
I can't even imagine how much of a pill I was
