a crash course in staying awake long after your body says sleep
be insane
depressed
turn off the lights and let your brain go wild
have you seen that face in the ceiling this week, no, well we’re not sleeping til we do
ever experience bouts of deep seated longing for something
anything
having thoughts of your childhood trauma
your adult failings
then you to can be an insomniac
it’s that easy
a general sense of something being wrong, well hold that tight and try your hardest to tear apart everything you did or said until it feels broken and bad
everything going well
we’ll pick it to pieces together
it’s easy and fun
you just need a fine tooth comb and anxiety
insomnia
it’s what all the cool people are doing in bed
I’m not over insomnia by any means and I’ve likely mentioned most of my anxieties hit me hardest in the night. But I’m better than I used to be.
In the older days (still now occasionally) I would write through the night. Journaling, as I’ve shared with you. Detail after detail of my trouble life and soul. It passed the time at least
