Scared

Posted by The LoNeLyGirL on May 01, 2003 at 21:19:14:

I have been having an awful time. I was still up at 8:30 this morning and finally passed out until nearly noon. But now I cannot get back to sleep tonight and I am in a state of total panic. I am so terrified of what is going to happen to me the longer I'm awake. I don't want to lose my mind.

I try to remember what my mother used to tell me when she was alive. To think positive. To use the time and enjoy it. Write, do needle work, play games, watch favorite videos etc. But I am so afraid I'm going to lose my mind and I will no longer be able to enjoy these things. I keep thinking about all the things I'm going to miss when they haul my sleep deprived body off to the looney bin.

Every time I try to sleep I just lay there. Awake. It's miserable and I end up getting up. I just can't stand it. I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose my mind. What's going to happen to me?
