i go through periods where i sleep far too much- recently during the last month of school i began sleeping through all of my classes and i felt tired no matter what i did and granted i had a lot on my plate it was this insatiable need for sleep i couldn’t shake
then i go through the periods where i cant sleep at all and i cant decide which is worse but neither are comfortable. i stayed up all night last night tossing and turning and i was awake when my alarm went off at 8 am for work. im still up right now. i tried to nap during the day but i just laid there and didnt sleep.
i sat in front of the gym for 40 minutes and then just came home. i had such good motivation for a while, at this point i wouldve seen a change in my body and i wouldve been so pleased with myself. idk why i cant bring myself to go in. it’s literally the idea of interacting with people thats putting me off. its not even like its my first time and im anxious or something i just need to go in once and ill be fine again i bet. its been more than a month and i just cant bring myself to go. its excruciating to go work too because ALL i do is work with customers thats my JOB. i dont want anyone to look at me, i dont want to leave my house, i dont want to talk to anyone.
i dont really ask anyone to make plans either because im dealing with my own head as fucking ALWAYS so i cancelled on a friend the other day but she asked to reschedule and see me tomorrow and i cant cancel again- i cant push people away- but im dreading going out. i can be normal when im out, but i FEEL the pressure it puts on me so deeply the entire time.
i feel lonely. i was so good about being alone for all this time but now i feel so lonely and just wish i had some friends even though i literally wont leave my house!! i love my friends but i only really have a couple at this point and theres only one that i talk to back and forth regularly. i still talk to my friends in pakistan daily but its not the same and theres a time difference. i know im awful and wont spend time with my friends, but i wish i had more anyways just so that i could distract myself more easily at times like these.
i was driving my mom somewhere the other day and we passed BU and all the graduates were out and about in the streets and i started crying uncontrollably in front of my mom for no reason. i couldnt help it or stop it and i felt so stupid. its just no matter what i do its never enough, ill always be 20 steps behind everyone else. no matter how hard i work its not good enough.
i hate myself and i feel like i just will always feel unfulfilled in life no matter what i do. its not like i want to- its just in my head. i dont know if i can ever forgive myself and i think that thats the hardest thing to live with.
