Stress
I haven’t been sleeping lately and I think it’s making me crazy.
I burst out into tears when I looked in the fridge only to discover that we were out of soy milk.
Since this lack of sleep has been going on long enough to make me freak out about soy milk, I went to see a therapist. She basically diagnosed me with stress, with manic-depressive tendencies. She told me to breathe and stretch and write down everything in my head before bed so I could deal with it in the morning and not while trying to sleep for more than 4 hours.
Last night, I took her advice and wrote down my racing thoughts before trying to get to sleep. Some highlights:
- What to do with my life?
- I hate it when people say “take it one step at a time.” If I could do that, I wouldn’t need to unload in a journal before bed.
- I want to model. I want someone to WANT to take my picture.
- I want to feel beautiful
- I need to clean my room.
- I want to be good at knitting.
- I need some excitement.
Excitement indeed.
What do you do to cope with stress?
