^^^are you insomniac?


I tend to be, yeah.
But when I'm awake no matter how much sleep I get I feel like I barely got any. I think it's probably my poor sleep habits, but I can't force myself to fall asleep on command. Sigh.

when i try to read a financial prospectus, i tend to get sleepy. :idea: mebbe if you try to do the most boring thing imaginable, you can get sleepy.


Another insomniac here - it goes exactly the same way with me, martianprincess.

You're blessed blabby :) I wish boring stuff would make me fall asleep - hell, I would be a huge fan of boring things! :lol:

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't fall asleep to boring things - and I'm a fellow member of the insomniac club who feels tired all the time due to lack of sleep.

Sorry to hear that, dragonsanddemons, insomnia is the bane of my existence and I struggle with it more than depression - it can poison my happiest moments :( But it's amusing to me in a way to imagine how I would surround myself with boring people, books, movies etc to get rid of it :lol:

And there's also a silver lining I guess... people always ask me "how on earth do you have time to do all that?" :wink:

Usually I'm not bothered too much by the fact that I'm always an outsider, but sometimes I really wish I could just find somewhere that I fit in.

you fit in here. you're a supportive and valuable WP contributor.


WP is the one place I feel like I can pretty much just be myself, but I still get the feeling that I don't really fit in.

Thank you for being here.

F**k you HML. I cheated for you in your basic a** math course to help you pass and now I'll fail you instead. Nobody treats me like sh*t. I'm so f**king tired of people using me and then sh***ing on me when I'm not pure positivity all the time. You never listen to me! F*** your anger at people speaking for you. I can't speak at all!

Not sure how I am...
I wish someone had asked me, I knew that such turmoil could ensue. Does the end justify the means...

Nope. It's all falling apart. The sky is falling. The stars are exploding. After two years of sobriety I've given up and given in. Alcohol is water. Pain abounds. What soul there was has cleaved in twain. The levees have broken. The flood has resurged. The vision I had a year ago of myself face to face with a black hole has come to be. We are f***ed.

Everything breaking. Cumulatively. Suddenly. Irreversibly.

I met new people at a bar in the past 3 days but what happens when they know the real me? I have to hide myself or they'll think I'm garbage too.

To everyone I've met who seems open enough to listen I've tried explaining the wavelength, to disbelief, confusion, superficiality, incredulousness, jadedness, false superiority, and combinations thereof. My wavelength is mine alone. Each of ours is ours alone. The sense of connection ends at the boundaries of one's own consciousness, unless one takes engagement in similar rituals to signify similitude and connectedness, which I never was able to. At least not against the overwhelming weight of evidence to the contrary.

When can I be with infinity again? I like infinity. I feel it.

it has been my experience that one is generally not gonna find much [aside from alcohol] therapeutic in a bar or tavern, as the people going there all want the same thing and are seldom willing to share, commiserate is the best that can be done in the more social places.
