I have the notes worked our for #5, so it seemed more useful to move one and figure out the next one rather than finish writing #5. Beyond that I have been a depressed slacker. I slept till almost noon and then took a three and a half hour nap. I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with me anymore. The disturbing dreams are back, making sleep hell&#8211;hard to get to sleep because I&#8217;m worrying about everything I&#8217;ve done wrong today and will do wrong tomorrow, sleep is occupied with troubling dreams, waking up is impossible because I&#8217;m so worn out from the dreaming and trouble getting to sleep in the first place. I think that the book that the doctor asked me to read is just confusing me and making things worse overall. In my head there&#8217;s this endless list of things I should do, but I never manage to get them done. I didn&#8217;t even get the trash to the street today. I cry over pictures of cute children. I cry over commercials. I worry about things in my house breaking. I can&#8217;t manage to get the clothes out of the washing machine, so I just keep rewashing them cuz they smell sour. I just seem to fail at all the things I&#8217;m supposed to be doing, and it&#8217;s apparently making me over-anxious more than I realized because I&#8217;ve rubbed the patches on my eyes again. They&#8217;re all red and blotchy. This only happens when I&#8217;m stressed and anxious. I wish I could be normal instead of such an infernal mess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did a little bit of writing today.
