What is keeping you up at night?

For those who can't sleep due to worries and anxieties...

What's on your mind that is keeping you up?

Lately it's been me thinking about my strained friendship with an old friend who I was living with some last year.
We haven't really spoken to each other in several months now. Usually he's the one to contact me about hanging or something, but he hasn't. I did try texting him some a couple months ago to see what he was up to, but didn't any response. I know he must me mad at for my move out, but I really had no choice. It's not like he would have been broke without me being there, he fared fine before me. In return I'm rather feeling rather resentful at him for this sudden exclusion... and he still has several of my belongings at his place. I find it odd that I somewhat care more about the belongings than him in this case... not that's it's really anything all that important; just some DVDs, and a PS3... He still owes me money on a few things too. I don't know... I keep thinking about it and wish I just put it behind me.

Tonight it's thinking about all the people that I have known in my life and how all of them were able to move on to the next stage of their lives. Unlike me, who is perpetually stuck in the same place he was when he knew them.

Oh, and probably the mocha I drank right after dinner.

for many years i would start to lie down and the next thing i knew it was 7,8 or9 hours later. i would jump right up and feel great. ah, if i could only time travel.

then i was murdered and resurrected and it's been downhill since then. pain keeps me awake now. the tinnitus doesn't help any. anxiety over not being able to stop animal cruelty is a factor.

lots of things keep people up nights.

that's the advantage well cared for dogs and cats have over humans. well, one of the things.

I like to keep things simple and say it's cause I'm not getting laid. There are more complicated explanations however.

The racing thoughts of all the horrible things that happened to me during my senior year of high school.

The world has gotten really bad, over the past 20 years. The innocence is lost. The last time that I've really slept through the night, was when Madonna was a virgin.

Zara: housing situations can get really messy. I bailed on some friends a few years ago because I couldn't stand living with that many people at once, and I f****d them all over financially. I've lost all lost touch since then, understandably so. They visited me in the hospital countless time and stuck by me, and I f****d them over.

I'm always kept awake at night remembering how good my friends have always been to me, and how I've always f****d them over because I have so much pain and confusion going on inside of myself. I replay the mistakes I've made over and over again. I also have to stop smoking weed at night, so it's harder to fall asleep without the cannabis to lure me into sleep. Also, I've just been stressed about my mind slipping away from me ever so slowly, and not being able to harness it, or whatever. Blah.

I have some sleep problems including "night terrors" & "sleep paralysis". I HATE sleeping by myself sometimes

My fear at the moment is one day I will be grow tired of these people and how they treat each other, I fear it because I don't know what happens then.

I have one friend that I've irritated that I'd like to be closer to again, and naother friend I want to start moving away from.

worrying about my kid is keeping me up at night. she is 16. 'nuff said.

A strong desire to not sleep, and increased creativity/productivity.

I don't want to go to sleep when I could be writing music.

Sleeping in itself, isn't that difficult. It's difficult to get in bed.

Bad marriage, loneliness, severe headache from concussion, not wanting to be alive but having to be because of my kids, obsessing about everything....argh...

People keep me up. The things that people say, and do during the day, will keep me up, sometimes. People rush their ways through life, and they don't really give a rat's bottom, about the people around them.

Blogs and Wikipedia. I have a bad habit of desiring to feel informed, and get stuck in blog refresh loops and fall into Wiki-holes (like K-holes, without the horse tranquilizer) for long periods when I should be sleeping.
