You probably will.

yeah

I, too, went through a lengthy phase of depressed sewerslidal ideation (joking about not being here and kind of being serious etc).

i sh and i have attempted a couple of times

And actually yes, getting more sleep actually does help. *Snore* 'Tis good.

im actually kinda scared of sleeping...i know that sounds stupid but its my nightmares i wake up having panic attacks and hardly being able to breathe

Oh, it just legit slipped my mind. My body sometimes just doesn't tell me I'm hungry, and if I'm focused on something food just isn't happening. I started getting shaky and was trying to figure out why, then I realized I hadn't eaten in a day and a half. Maybe I'd had a bit of something to drink, but that's it.

Good morning everybody! I would normally ask how didn’t you sleep but most of you are in a different time zone or don’t sleep! What are you doing today?

I had a good sleep!

 

[Addicted To Chickens]

why is it that you and Hoarder are always crying your lives can't be THAT sad

Life is sad if you make it sad, I try to make the best out of everything.

yeah

Keep your humor.

i sh and i have attempted a couple of times

I sh-ed a few times out of morbid fascination and for emotional release then it was really hard to stop. I never attempted because I realized that there are things that I still want to see happening. Yeah, life was really hard, I kind of wanted to die, I wanted to escape everything by staying up all night just like you. And I was generally miserable and felt stuck, alone, and disliked even by my family. BUT through all that, I still wanted to just see some things. There were things I wanted to experience. And a lot of those things weren't something I was going to get to do within the next few years, so I stuck it out waiting for those things, and I reached the age where I was able to really look at myself. Some things in life changed (it felt like nothing would ever change, it really felt hopeless) and I made friends for the first time at 16 years old. I also painted my bedroom bright yellow after being grey blue, that was actually helpful, lol. Anyways, after that I slowly stopped being so sad and pessimistic. I also started forcing myself to try and find the good in everything. It's hard at first because it's so easy to be negative, but if you just take a minute to think, you will find something good about the situation. A couple weeks ago I was really looking forward to going to a family reunion but the hurricane weather stopped us. I was super disappointed because it was my last chance to ever go to that reunion. BUT it was a good thing. I had been really stressed, and I was able to take that weekend to have some much needed relaxation and pack some stuff for moving. I was sad, but it was good.

When I was fifteen it looked like a desolate landscape of depression and anxiety was all I had to look forward to, even though I hoped to see something happen... And it did. I'm 19. I'm still here. I'm getting married next month. To me that's nothing short of a miracle.

I can kind of understand that. I was spared the nightmares growing up, for the most part, but sleep was generally unpleasant because I just couldn't sleep well at all and I would be so tired in the morning anyways. Sleep felt pointless.
Try to spend some time avoiding things that make you sad, especially before bed. Try and flood your mind with good, happy things. Even if you don't really feel like it... If you have enough good in your mind, the dreams won't be so bad. The things you do and think about right before bed strongly affect how well you sleep.

Yes, exactly! It's just hard to get started and remember sometimes.
