I don’t wish I could sleep all day but I countdown until I can hide in the bath and go to bed early when I’m having a bad day.Does anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time. I hate being awake it’s too painful. Wish I could just sleep all day but I struggle with staying asleep. I only get really bad broken sleep with a few hours here and there
Yes, I feel this absolutely xDoes anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time. I hate being awake it’s too painful. Wish I could just sleep all day but I struggle with staying asleep. I only get really bad broken sleep with a few hours here and there
Absolutely wish I could. Quite often do too. I wouldn’t say I sleep, more cat nap, my sleep quality is awful. I put trash on the TV to numb the thoughts and try and ignore my brain.Does anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time. I hate being awake it’s too painful.

Not all the time, but just one night of good sleep, insomnia affects me really bad, managed to get hold of a sleeping tab yesterday, has made such a difference to me today, but I know it won't last.Does anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time.

Yeah I do this too. I usually put on something I’ve seen before so I don’t have to concentrate on itAbsolutely wish I could. Quite often do too. I wouldn’t say I sleep, more cat nap, my sleep quality is awful. I put trash on the TV to numb the thoughts and try and ignore my brain.
Yes! Absolutely!Does anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time. I hate being awake it’s too painful. Wish I could just sleep all day but I struggle with staying asleep. I only get really bad broken sleep with a few hours here and there
Exactly this. Something that I can doze too and still know exactly what’s going on.Yeah I do this too. I usually put on something I’ve seen before so I don’t have to concentrate on it
As soon as it gets to half 7 I escape for an hours soak.Yes! Absolutely!
I love not being conscious and the break from my own brain that affords.
If I could afford it, I'd definitely have a huge drug problem - I don't trust myself around any opiods/ benzos/ sedatives/ whatever, because I'll just gobble em up to avoid.... Myself.
@candyland_ - I too 'hide' in the bath and then scuttle off to bed early whenever possible. My partner hates it, but I'd be shit company if I hung about anyway, so might as well be catatonic in a nice scaldy bath
I think so. I tend to hibernate from everyone...though sometimes I do it for too long and it actually makes me worse.Is it normal to need space from people you love when you’re having a tough time?
Some days my first thought after waking up is to count in how many hours I'll be able to go back to bed.Does anyone else just wish they could sleep all the time. I hate being awake it’s too painful.

It is for me.Is it normal to need space from people you love when you’re having a tough time?
still struggling. man, ocd is the worst. i thought my hit and run ocd was bad but this spiral has lasted about two weeks now and i just can’t deal with it. i’m gonna write under a spoiler just to get it out but warning that it’s about contamination ocd, just for anyone who might find that triggering.i am in an ocd spiral right now. won’t say exactly about what in case it triggers some peoples’ contamination fears but i wish that my ocd brain listened to the actual logical part of my brain that’s saying “no, look at all the evidence, you don’t have [thing]”. drives me crazy
Bless you my love, I know exactly this feeling. I can offer you so many different perspectives you could see situations like that from but when you feel like that it’s so hard to get those round your head and see it that way.Has anyone ever been out in a pub and a man introduces himself or makes eye contact and hellos with every girl at the table except you.
I just feel so disgusting and repulsive. I don’t know what else I can do to make myself more attractive. I know that’s not what life is all about but it fucking hurts.
If you had bed bugs you would also have the bites. Which are itchy and red . I understand there’s no arguing with an ocd brain.still struggling. man, ocd is the worst. i thought my hit and run ocd was bad but this spiral has lasted about two weeks now and i just can’t deal with it. i’m gonna write under a spoiler just to get it out but warning that it’s about contamination ocd, just for anyone who might find that triggering.
basically, i have convinced myself i have bedbugs. this is based on no solid facts or evidence, purely that i woke up with blood on my pyjama top about two weeks ago. went into work and co-worker said “oh that happened to me when we had bed bugs”. well, it was an epic downward spiral since then. confirmed the blood was from a pimple i had obviously picked in the night, still convinced it is bugs. found black flecks on my bedding, confirmed to be mascara, convinced it is bugs. found what must be part of a leaf in my luggage from a hotel stay two months ago, sent a photo to bedbugs uk, they confirmed no bugs. a bug crawled on me today after moving patio furniture, took a photo and sent it to bedbugs uk, they confirmed no that’s not a bed bug and are probably on the verge of sending someone around to check on me.
i’ve tried all my usual coping mechanisms, all my usual routines but i can’t shake this one. when i found the leaf i genuinely sat on the floor and cried. when i looked at the photo i’d sent the next day i was like wtf at my past self but my brain is still saying “but what if”. there is literally no evidence but the thought of getting into my bed of a night is making me want to cry..
it’ll pass, i know, it always does but i truly hate my brain most of the time.
thankfully there is (i’m very blessed in that regard i guess, my family and friends are always there to talk) but it sounds so silly and ridiculous that i’m almost embarrassed to talk about it.If you had bed bugs you would also have the bites.

Is there anyone you can go to for extra support?
Your cat would miss youI’m back again. Been struggling for ages but ‘just’ writing that down has felt too difficult. But today is particularly dark and I wanted to reach out because I’m feeling more alone than ever.
I’m going to try to get things off my chest but I’ll put it in a spoiler so you don’t have to read if you don’t want to (I won’t be offended). Apologies if the spoiler doesn’t work - I hardly post on Tattle so I’ve never done one before!!
To finish on a more positive note, I have to give some credit to my cat. He makes me smile even on days like today.I genuinely feel like I have nothing to live for. I can’t work due to health conditions and tbh I spend 99% of my days in bed. Financially I can’t do anything nice for myself, not even a hair cut so naturally I feel awful about myself and my self image. I l’m autistic so struggle with friendships at the best of times but I have no friends now. I genuinely feel so alone. All my hobbies I either can’t afford to do or can’t do because of my health. Getting no help from mental health services or social work/social care. I just can’t shake the fact that no one gives a crap and no one would miss me.
