Happy when asleep

The best time of the day for me is when I'm asleep. I wish I could sleep 20 hours straight but the max I managed is 8 hours at night and 2 hours nap during the day.

Being awake and conscious give me an anxiety crisis.

Is it too weird?

    It's normal, but you have to get out and do something. I feel the same when I'm alone for long amounts of time. I just get empty. Find some people to care about, and do stuff with them.

    You sound really depressed. I know, because I feel much the same way. The last two weeks have been extremely depressing for me, and a nice gaslighting festival for my mom, and sister. I really want to sleep so much. Today there was drama with my folks, because they tried to call me, and I didn't answer, because the ringer on my phone was turned off. So freaking what.

    • Mother used to tell me that sleep is healing. So maybe we're on the way of something.

        I love sleep, and I can do it with my housecat. My cat is like a life coach in the shape of a furry potato with color points. He's a bluepoint Siamese.

        Then yes, it's absolutely normal to prefer being asleep if you suffer from depression as you no longer feel anything. Also you should seek psychiatrycal help if you didn't already.

            I konw life can be rough and I know some people who've gone through a lot of shit and things always turn out okay for them. That gives me hope, I hope it will give you some as well :)

    For the sleeping part -
    Might I recommend investing in a brand new bedding set.

    I was looking at some on ebay that include 1 comforter, 2 shams, 2 pillow cases, bed skirt, fitted sheet, and flat sheet. $53 for a queen size set. Typical price for such a set, it is microfiber.

    If bed is one's favorite place, might as well make it as comfy as possible.

    I love my bed. Yeah it is at least 15 years old but with a steel frame with center support, box spring and mattress, it still kicks ass.

    Sleep is just that time when we get to live an alternate life, the dream world. Maybe good things happen, maybe bad. Just like waking life.

    I'd sleep all the time if it wasn't for my animals. Glad they get me out of bed tho. It gives me purpose. Otherwise I'd probably be dead.

    I know it's cliche but find something, anything. Even if you hate it some days having something that forces you up and into the world is a good thing in the long run.
