Madness Past Midnight

It’s 3:12 am right now, and I am awake again. I haven’t been able to sleep much since a day or two before Thanksgiving. I lie awake in bed every night, my mind all abuzz, and I can’t calm down enough to sleep until it’s like six a.m. or later. Then I pass out for a while, wake up at noon, and start the whole bullshit cycle over again.

I’m exhausted all day, every day. It’s a fucking nightmare trying to get my work done when I can barely concentrate long enough to put a coherent sentence together. I just lie here watching the clock tick later, and later, and later, and there’s nothing I can do.

Immense stress + Major Depressive Disorder + Anxiety does not a healthy mixture make.
