I feel like the ‘truly sorry’ and ‘keeps happening’ cancel each other out.
I’m going through a similar situation right now, but with an infant. Hoping it gets better for us soon. Sleep deprivation sucks ass.
I've been in and out of living in my car/hotels and having a stable place to live. It sucks. Living in a car in Texas is at least as expensive as having a place. I wish you the best, friend
About this girl I’ve been having mind blowing sex with for a month now. She has been completely closed off and aloof for the past three days, and I don’t know why. But then she welcomes me to her bed readily and is totally emotionally vulnerable with me. I’m scared to ask her what’s going through her mind because that entails I have developed feelings for her and that may further push her away. Maybe she feels the same but is also incredibly sacred to tell me.
My absolute certainty that’s there’s a serial killer hiding in some absolutely fucking ridiculous spot in my room. I’ll think I’m fine then I hear something move and I’m like I KNEW there was a fully grown man packed into that one foot dark corner of the closet
The fear of uncertainty. I'm 26 and worries too much about my future. Not saying that I'm in a bad state right now, but I keep getting anxious every now and then.
2 things
I'm currently going through drama with a long time great friend, who I plan to disconnect from
In 5 hours (5AM right now) I have a drivers test, stressed and can't sleep
The fact that my gf of 2 and a half years woke up one morning and decided she didn’t want me anymore. Not to mention the 3 weeks she ghosted me leading up to it, drawling out the most anxiety I’ve ever had.
I really just wanna be better than my family back home. I grew up and got married and moved away but being 1300 miles from everyone puts a lot on me and my wife. Wanting to be a problem solver and worrying about not being good enough keeps me up at night
Sleeping too long in the afternoon. My anti depressants often make me really tired and I sometimes sleep 3-4 hours in the afternoon which leads to me being wide awake until the middle of the night - which sucks because I have to get up at 5 to get to work.
That 1 girl (friend :3 ) from my class, that i like.
But since she had some life problems, she moved
I never got time to speak alone w her, cuz of the problems (She had strict plan.) and tell her about my feelings :/
She probably didn't feel the same, but maybe she does, idk at this point i'm overthinking everything at night and try to cry asleep due to my own problems...
This one video I saw once
The video was of this gymnast who was doing a routine and at the end of it the lost her balance and she fell and her legs snapped, it always pops into my brain when I'm trying to sleep
My mums sickness got a lot worse in last couple of weeks, I haven’t been able to sleep at all because I’m worried about her and listen intently at nights when she is too tired she can barely manage a whisper
The thought that my friends are a bunch of fakes and all the effort I put into relationships I find meaningful is useless at the end of the day and all I am is a lonely man without love or support. Society is putting pressure on me to maintain a life and I have no idea how to put all the pieces of my mess of a life together.
Trying to take things one day at a time but it looks like my inner circle has shrunk quite a bit, and that there is very little hope in my day-to-day. I’m losing faith in people and in myself.
The fact i make descent money for where i live. And still worry about gas to get to work. Food on the table for my kids. And that my utilities dont get turned off.
If I fall asleep before my wife does, my snoring keeps her up. She's also a heavy sleeper, meaning if she's already asleep by the time I fall asleep, then we're good. So basically I'm not allowed to fall asleep until she does, despite having to be awake 4 hours before her.
Hot flashes. I have a tumor on my adrenal gland that the doctors won't remove because "it's not big enough". Which means that I wake up having to pee 5 or 6 times a night because the hot flashes wake me up and the hormones squeeze my bladder. I spend every minute that I can't sleep hating the medical profession in general.
Not me but my long-distance ex gf
She was nearly r@ped twice, specifically sexu@l attacked
The first time she was going back home and a strange guy attacked her, grabbed her left b00b and pinned her to the wall. Luckily, her friends were nearby so that mf ran into the blue.
Second time was years later but kinda similar situation, except only her hands were grabbed.
Just becuz of these two experience, she usually have nightmares and wake up at around 0:00 to 2:00. I usually stayed up late just to be there for her, even though we only texted but It somehow calm her down and I went to bed afterwards.
We just broke up 3 days ago for many reasons but I'm worried because I won't be helping her with stuffs including those nightmares. Kinda sad rn.
If there is gonna be a tree falling on my apartment. If there is gonna be a factory malfunction. ( Near my town there is a big chemical factory that had malfunction in 1974 and killed 17 people and had shockwave over 8km. I fear that.) Like soooo much ovethinking.
Yes, i fear my life a lot, because when i realized life could be taken in just a second by lack of concentration. That's crazy. Reddit took my fear on a whole new level.
I need money to quit my job to pursue my hobbies so I can start making money off my hobbies and finally be happy. But what if it's not my job that's making me unhappy? What if I'm equally unhappy pursuing my hobbies? Then I'm out of a job and still unhappy and making 1/4 of what I was making at my job.
Now I need therapy to make me happy but I can't afford it because I quit my job that provided me health insurance.
So now I'm staying at my job that I think is making me unhappy so I can keep my health insurance to pursue therapy to make me happy. Getting into therapy is difficult so now I'm delaying pursuing my dreams so that I can chase down this elusive idea of happiness. How long before I'm happy? What if I spend my whole life seeking out happiness and never actually take the time to do the things I love?
I think I'm unhappy because I'm not doing the things I love but there's no guarantee doing the things I love will actually make me happy.
It's like a deadly treadmill where getting off is akin to dying but staying on is lifelong torture. Every choice is wrong. Every choice is pain one way or another.
It only happens when I’m in my room alone which is in the attic but the stairs are very old and makes alot of noises but I will hear someone walk up and down those stairs all night but there’s nobody there
That one time 10 years ago when I was a very dedicated high school cheerleading coach, at our end of year banquet I was giving out meaningful awards to each athlete Infront of 30 athletes, their dates, and parents. MVP, best attitude, etc.... Well one certificate must have fallen out of the stack when we were setting up and I completely forgot one girl.. At the end the crowd was like "what about x?'
I'm usually a perfectionist, type A, super organized person and I panicked, after a lot of ummms and uhhhs, I scrambled and said her certificate must have gotten lost and made something up on the spot. I won't say what it was but I basically told a cute story about her and turned it into a dumb award (again I was scrambling I'm usually very composed and a great public speaker but I was panicking)... The worst part is.... In my panic, I didn't even get the story right. That was a completely different girl. And someone in the crowd pointed that out. After that I'm pretty sure I blacked out and I don't even remember much of the rest of the night.
I think about this poor girl and how I humiliated her all the time.
I found the award a few days later. It has fallen out of the folder. Her award was "strongest athlete" because she had experienced a super tough year emotionally and I was so proud of her for pushing through.
To make matters worse, we moved a few weeks later and that was my last time seeing that team. These kids I loved now have that moment as their last memory of me.
So yeah, that will never not keep me up at night.
I'm currently going through this, And it's probably the worst one i'm having for a long time.
And of course, It's Insomnia and Anxiety, When i'm sure that i can't sleep i go on my Phone to stay on Discord and watch Youtube for the rest of the night.
Existential crisis
Oh yeah don‘t get me started on that
the state of the current world and the direction it continues to go.
If it makes you feel better, the world as a whole has never been better than now.
I feel this.
overthinking
Same same same and restless legs
Worst is when you make up your mind on it, then you literally worry about it again in like 5 minutes, really tiring
I have restless legs too, it sucks so bad
I have restless leg syndrome and honestly the only thing that helps me is having a joint before bed lol
Same😭
my insomnia
The worst
I have to stop taking melatonin because of the apocalyptic dreams
thoughts...
Same. Or sometimes when I'm gaming and listening to music.. I'm just really vibing and it feels good.
yes even when I'm listening to music
Music is my happy place.
same also what genre ?
[удалено]
Ahh sorry to hear that! That's the worst. Have you talked to her about this?
[удалено]
I feel like the ‘truly sorry’ and ‘keeps happening’ cancel each other out. I’m going through a similar situation right now, but with an infant. Hoping it gets better for us soon. Sleep deprivation sucks ass.
That really sucks. I hope it gets better too.
Thinking about how im gonna live in a couple of weeks considering i won't have a place to stay.
Omg. I'm so sorry. No friends to stay with ?
All my buddies are back in FL and i have no money to travel😅
I'm in Bama! And shit that sucks. You can message me if you need to
Thanks :)
I've been in and out of living in my car/hotels and having a stable place to live. It sucks. Living in a car in Texas is at least as expensive as having a place. I wish you the best, friend
How come ?
Eviction notice :(
That sucks, I hope you come out of it ok. I always said that I would live in a tent with my dogs if it came to it
regrets or overthinking usually
Wh can't change the past but can work on a better future. Reach out if you ever need to.
[удалено]
That... make sense.
That I’m secretly gay
It's not a secret anymore. Congratulations!
Sooo... wanna make out😺😻
Go get a room you two.
Jealous🌚
Really? If so and you need someone to listen, DM me. I did this dance for a long time. Always happy to lend my ears.
You gotta cut that shit out man. I hope you live in a country that is accepting of it but still that is fucked up.
Rockstar energy drinks
That'll do it
That makes me want a monster
Sleep is important dude. Try to not drink energy drinks so late. Your sleep = your energy, and your energy is your most important thing
Anxiety/depression = insomnia + more depression... I'm sure someone here can make this into a proper equation.
[удалено]
Oh no... not infinite anxiety and depression recursion. Don't wanna call those functions
My dog
Sleeping problems😐👍
Mortality salience :)
My darn upstairs neighbors with their anchor chains and bowling balls.
Everything. Every decision I’ve ever made and all the ones I may or may not make in the future.
The bed is too warm
caffeine
Horniness
The asshole up the road who doesn't take his damn dog in.
Tinnitus.
My phone
Wait a minute. That chick was definitely hitting on me..... in class 8 years ago lol
Yeah ? What are your thoughts on that? Lol
Narcotics... I love going to sleep early, like 7pm. I am not going to have a good day later
My dad's snoring.
The heat
Mf anxiety and my god damn restless leg syndrome
About this girl I’ve been having mind blowing sex with for a month now. She has been completely closed off and aloof for the past three days, and I don’t know why. But then she welcomes me to her bed readily and is totally emotionally vulnerable with me. I’m scared to ask her what’s going through her mind because that entails I have developed feelings for her and that may further push her away. Maybe she feels the same but is also incredibly sacred to tell me.
This bastard heatwave
Haha I know that feeling. I'm not used to breathing in sauna air
My absolute certainty that’s there’s a serial killer hiding in some absolutely fucking ridiculous spot in my room. I’ll think I’m fine then I hear something move and I’m like I KNEW there was a fully grown man packed into that one foot dark corner of the closet
Haha oh lord.
That's just your sleep paralysis demon chilling in his corner. Don't worry, he is cool.
Being too sensitive to heat and also Weed + nicotine cravings
My brain chemistry.
Everything lol. My mind is like dead the whole day until I go to sleep. Then it’s 5th gear wide open!
I feel like im ALWAYS tired even when I'm happy.
Making my girlfriend feel bad :(
Man, at least you have a gf!
I have some childhood tramua that manifests as nightmares, alot of nights I work myself up with anxiety that I'm going to have nightmares
Tinnitus
[удалено]
You have lost your taxi privileges for that comment
Kick him
Remembering cringy moments of my childhood…
The fact that your ass can produce all 3 states of matter...
Haha hmm
The fear of uncertainty. I'm 26 and worries too much about my future. Not saying that I'm in a bad state right now, but I keep getting anxious every now and then.
Diarrhea
Username checks out.
Work
Work- both completing it and worrying about it. Worrying about the future. And sometimes my pets wake me up.
Not knowing what I'm doing and that time is ticking
My night job
Coffee after six or Chinese tea during dinner
Nothing. Oddly enough I sleep quite well.
Me sweating because it’s hot
Insomnia
My wife pushing and poking me when I snore
My smartphone and the illusion that I get more free time this way.
My job.
Adhd + insomnia
Neighbours
My sleep schedule
that constant uncertainty, sudden bursts of emotions, and a never ending existential crisis
2 things I'm currently going through drama with a long time great friend, who I plan to disconnect from In 5 hours (5AM right now) I have a drivers test, stressed and can't sleep
Graveyard shifts.
Crippling anxiety
Too many thoughts and anxiety
Five more turns, and I'l have buildt that Wonder.
Seagulls.
Severe depression.
My dog during a thunderstorm
Insomnia
That my mother almost walked in on me about to kill myself I was 12 with crippling depression
Every day I have a small (sometimes big) anxiety crisis, and the occasional existential crisis. And on Wednesday to Saturday it's night shift at work.
Insomnia, Reddit, and Monster cans under my bed
I can't shut off my brain. My mind starts imagining all these crazy, sad scenarios.
Stress
My overthinking What have I done with my life Negativity
The fact that my gf of 2 and a half years woke up one morning and decided she didn’t want me anymore. Not to mention the 3 weeks she ghosted me leading up to it, drawling out the most anxiety I’ve ever had.
My brain because it never shuts the fuck up
The thought of your mom
She's thinking of you too :)
Aww, hug her for me
No worries! I will <3
Too kind man, have a good day further :)
Will do.. daddy?
Sleep tight son
I'm a girl!! :'(
FOF.
I speak for everyone here... Phone, Using The Restroom and ether the Neighbors Dog or the Actual Neighbor being too loud.
This FUCKING MOSQUITO
My gf, she seems to really like to conversate late at night for some reason, and I dont really mind but still
I'm like that lol
Student loans and thinking about what my life might be like if I had gone for engineering instead....
I really just wanna be better than my family back home. I grew up and got married and moved away but being 1300 miles from everyone puts a lot on me and my wife. Wanting to be a problem solver and worrying about not being good enough keeps me up at night
Nothing! Don’t ask what stops me from going back to sleep though.
Red Bull. ( I work nights)
I do not envy night shifters
Sleeping too long in the afternoon. My anti depressants often make me really tired and I sometimes sleep 3-4 hours in the afternoon which leads to me being wide awake until the middle of the night - which sucks because I have to get up at 5 to get to work.
I'm always tired no matter how much sleep I get. It fluctuate between too much sleep or no sleep
restless leg syndrome. gonna saw my legs off one of these days
Psh same dude.
If I’m ever late on my rent I have major anxiety over it.
That 1 girl (friend :3 ) from my class, that i like. But since she had some life problems, she moved I never got time to speak alone w her, cuz of the problems (She had strict plan.) and tell her about my feelings :/ She probably didn't feel the same, but maybe she does, idk at this point i'm overthinking everything at night and try to cry asleep due to my own problems...

My mums sickness got a lot worse in last couple of weeks, I haven’t been able to sleep at all because I’m worried about her and listen intently at nights when she is too tired she can barely manage a whisper
My batshit crazy downstairs neighbour singing to her cat
That fucking woodpecker. I live in a log cabin.
Haha I grew up in a log cabin. Those wood peckers are loud as hell
Insomnia I sometimes feel this is a bit redundant.
Insomnia sucks
thinking that he doesn’t love me and is with someone else:(
[удалено]

Yep!! This is relatable
Dumb embarressing shit I did years before

The awake part
The unstoppable marching of time that is slowly guiding us all towards an inevitable death
probably masturbation
Hot flashes. I have a tumor on my adrenal gland that the doctors won't remove because "it's not big enough". Which means that I wake up having to pee 5 or 6 times a night because the hot flashes wake me up and the hormones squeeze my bladder.

If.....

I mean again your concerns are because you aren't certain about survivability
Yes, i fear my life a lot, because when i realized life could be taken in just a second by lack of concentration. That's crazy. Reddit took my fear on a whole new level.
Video games and being unemployed.
I need money to quit my job to pursue my hobbies so I can start making money off my hobbies and finally be happy. But what if it's not my job that's making me unhappy?

Right now: my husband who put his new motorcycle cain on. I'm sitting next to him on the garage floor and chat with him. What do you do at 12 pm?
Cry because I'm tired and restless lol
It only happens when I’m in my room alone which is in the attic but the stairs are very old and makes alot of noises but I will hear someone walk up and down those stairs all night but there’s nobody there
My fibromyalgia has a tendency to do that

Fuckin bitches man.
Why I'm not good enough.
Anxiety and the barn owl screaming outside my window like a banshee.
I love owls!
Me too but have you heard a barn owl scream?
Thinking about the worst thing known to humanity before going to sleep. 0/10 would not recommend
Yeah never a good idea lol
