What is the thought in your head that makes your eyes wide open and bloodshot? The thought that constantly echoes in your head, but you cannot shake off.
My cat walking back and forth across my pillow wanting food, the selfish little quadruped.
THC for some reason even though everyone else says it helps them sleep.
CBD is the calming part right?
Everything is on fire. Bugs are dying, teflon - and chemicals are everywhere, micro plastics, warming oceans, invasive species, west Nile virus, ohh cancer that I might be actually developing right now, the emptiness of existence, the inability to change big things, that at the end it won’t matter. Nobody cares. Me doing my part doesn’t matter. Immeasurable human stupidity, global upcoming financial crisis.
These are of the top of my head. But I do know how to keep my head in the sand, so at least I can sleep well enough.I would have already kms of i didnt have a distraction from this at night
I’m sorry to hear that. Life is a mess qnd we do have a lot of things to worry about. But there are many things that worth it living for.
In my mind my line ends with me so I will take mult time so I don’t go to waste. A human cost about a million dollars let’s get our value out of this life ;)Yeah Sorry
Its fine
My therapist suggestion was to: bear witness.
That maybe our role is just to watch it burn, to acknowledge it is on fire.
So it’s fine :) at least I don’t have kids to worry about.This fits well with my philosophy: I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.
I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.
That’s beautiful, in it’s own way.
I felt that way at one point. It led me, eventually, to moments that I later decided mattered very much, to me.
If I hadn’t had that morbid curiosity, I’m not sure I would have made it to those moments I now cherish.
Here’s to morbid curiosity!
A day at a time , take care .
Remember that there’s big polluters of the world want you to believe its all already over and that you can’t win. This is a strategy they explicitely, and you are not immune to their properganda.
Vote with your wallet, recycle, reuse, no single use plastics etc … It is all a lie also.
Footprint is a lie. I do recommend his channel it is very eye opening = depressing.
The constant underlying risk of global thermonuclear holocaust.
A brain that needs to be tricked into falling asleep half the time
Usually it’s not even negative thoughts or anything like that, it’s just busy problem solving
It’s a purgatory of sorts.
- Can’t sleep because I can’t stop thinking.
- Been awake so long: now I’m hungry
- Have a snack, return to bed.
- Now I need to go to the bathroom.
- Return to step one.
My son is getting older every day. Soon I won’t have to read him bedtime stories any more and he won’t want to cuddle all the time.
He will want and need you in a thousand new ways, every moment of your life. You just have to always lightly interact, be available, and not be judgmental.
I can confirm. I’m in my 20s and I don’t feel like I need my parents any less than 10 years ago. Maybe I don’t need them to feed me or buy me clothes and stuff like that, but they are essential
Oh this hits right in the feels. I always try to remind myself that this is his childhood and it will leave an impression for the rest of his life. Then i start worrying about not doing enough etc and anxiety ensues
Unemployment and loneliness.
Lost my job 3 months ago, trying to find a tech job gets harder everyday. Found a small wordpress site gig for $500.
The support structures I thought I had didn’t exist, so I spend sleepless nights thinking about how I got here.
Hey, hang in there, we just gotta keep trying. I was laid off in July and can’t find anything, also in tech, it’s really tough out there.
I hope that we both find a job soon ♥️
Thank you, oh yeah it is !
Hope you find something awesome 🙂
We are rapidly depleting our healthy soil due mainly to destructive factory farming techniques used across the world.
Just one inch of healthy soil takes centuries to form from the slow breakdown of organic matter by a whole host of micro-ecosystems.
The desertification of massive swaths of our planet continues largely unabated.
Thanks, I didn’t want to sleep tonight anyway…
(I already knew about this so don’t feel bad)
I am struggling to make a real connection with my work colleagues. I’ve known most of them for over 2 years, and I’ve been out with them a few times, but I just don’t feel like I fit in with them. They’re generally nice people but it still feels like there’s a bit of a clique within the group that I’m not a part of.
Heartburn / acid indigestion. Racing thoughts. Back pain. Severe thunderstorms. Just to name a few things.
Well, that was my answer before I read the other comments and see that most other people have interpreted the question differently than myself.
At night, I don’t know why, but I always think about what my own phone, made by me, would be like… I also walk around the house aimlessly thinking about things that will never happen.
Nothing, I suck at sleeping and now I gave up and am browsing Lemmy
Nothing in particular. I stay lying in bed lying completely still, consciously relaxing every muscle in my body and trying to focus on my heartbeat for up to an hour at a time. It doesn’t work for some reason and it’s exhausting.
Mostly economic/health anxiety. I live in a country with no safety nets and barely make a living. I already have health issues so I’m afraid if things get worse I won’t be able to afford to get healthcare. But I tried lately to have a healthier lifestyle and it’s helping a bit with the anxiety
How my father is able to either justify/excuse or even blatantly support any of these illegal acts the American joke of a President is committing.
