Note to self: try to get more/better sleep. YES, I KNOW, it's bright as fuck at 4AM. Close your damn blinds.



I can't believe it took me this long to put it together. It seems self-explanatory. But it's only THIS MORNING that I realized the intrusive thoughts and anxiety get worse when I don't get enough sleep.

Went to bed too late, woke up too late, didn't sleep enough, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW.... Wave of panic over trivial bullshit, along with an intrusive internal monologue consisting of classics like "You know what would be nice? To just flop over and die. Do it. Just flop over and die" and "That positive comment you want to make to that artist is stupid, don't say it, you'll just look stupid and they'll think you're weird" and so on and so forth.

It's so ridiculous, I'm laughing.

HOW did I not notice this? HOW?!

Well, I needed motivation to go to bed earlier, so I guess... here it is. [/facepalm]

Body has A LOT of ways to talk to you, but the lack of sleep is terrible -__-
Take care of you, Yuu. And yes, avoid dying, thank you.

*nodnod* Regular body maintenance is crucial to the well-being, or you know, avoiding the lowest lows. Not meaning this in the FB meme-y "yoga every day and you'll be healed!" -way, but just as a recovering technique... sleep, food, enough water, taking necessary meds. And if sleep is not possible, rest anyway. I can totally relate too, although in my case food's the number one factor for not doing the downward spin, but sleeping is in there too.

(Fun fact, saying that on FB or Tumblr would probably get me shouted at. On FB because "MEDICINE IS SHIT YOU JUST NEED A WALK IN A FOREST" and Tumblr because "OMG FOOD DOESN'T MAKE MENTAL ILLNESS GO AWAY".)

Yyyyeah. It sure is a thing. xD My perception of adequate sleep is kind of fucked because of that year or two when I had to get up at 4 just to be able to get to work on time, but at this point there really is no reason for it any more. I'll just have to make a conscious effort to get in bed by 10:30, I guess... CONSTANT VIGILANCE.

(Eh well, who cares what those hosers think, they're all wrongity-wrong-wrong anyway. ;p )
