Happened to me so many times it’s not even funny. :/
This has been me on many occasions.
This has been me for the last two weeks. 🙁
The worst is not being able to fall asleep all night only to finally nod off ten minutes before the alarm goes off.
Yes! That’s the ass kicker. The injury of no sleep combined with the insult of the alarm.
This has been me for months! What an exciting new depression development it’s been, too. Absolutely not another incitement to suicide, oh no not at all.
Been there, done this, got fired.
I remeber all too well what ithas been like *shrugs*
Sleep is so necessary and so fragile – I think people would be more understanding if we told them depression was a sleep disorder (mysterious but generally regarded as physical), rather than a mental illness (cognitive and physical but generally regarded as a mysterious moral failing). The insomnia is one of the worst, most draining and disabling symptoms, a long-term health threat in and of itself.
Someone I’m acquainted with committed suicide recently, incorporating the well-thought out suicide plan of “falling asleep at the wheel” to try and make sure his family got his life insurance. He almost succeeded since his medical records only showed insomnia treatment, but his blog posts came to light.
