Arguing with your significant other really sucks.  I can't tell if I'm in the right or not, if I'm blowing it out of proportion or not.  And the person I would normally talk my problems through with is, well, her.

Stress + Depression = Tiruin = Productivity ↓ = Probable recursive effect (∞?) ± Current conscious thought.

Try using hot water.

Apply soap as necessary.

A few nights ago, I dreamt about my brother stabbing me repeatedly while laughing his usual idiotic laugh.

The night after that, I dreamt about being electrocuted to death for reasons that I cannot remember.

Last night, I had a dream that my father had a heart attack and died in front of me while we were working in the garage.

This is getting fucking ridiculous. Every dream I've had recently is completely terrifying in some way or another. I should not have to dread going to sleep because I'm scared that some disturbing shit will await me when I finally do manage to actually fall asleep.

Strangely enough getting a full amount of sleep and trying to go to bed early enough that you are able to wake up gradually instead of quickly is probably the easiest cure for that, since it will greatly cut down on your ability to remember your dreams.

Barring that you could always take the "clear your mind before you fall asleep" strategy. I once had a month-long string of horrible nightmares every single night where I ended up taking that approach. It took me basically the whole month to finally get the idea down to the point of being able to reliably do it automatically before I went to sleep (which matches with the idea that clearing your mind like that is a very difficult thing to do) but afterwards I didn't remember a single one of my dreams upon waking for almost an entire year. Fear is a strong motivator, regardless of other drawbacks.

I also messed around with lucid dreaming as a cure for a little while, but I never was really able to get past the point where I'd change something and my mind would turn around to change it in some other way to "rerail" the dream (usually in a bad way). Apparently that is a fairly common thing in the early stages of teaching yourself to lucid dream, but I didn't keep at it long enough to ever get past that stage.

I'm pretty unflappable, and there are really few things that get me stressed, so most of my nightmares either involve waking up past when i'm supposed to or car accidents, which really are the only two things that stress me out and scare me, respectively.

Oh, my brain certainly tries to vary up the stress dreams, but there are only so many times that I can accept being naked in public before my brain starts to scare itself.

Update on my laptop situation: Hard Drive is dead. That's over 500 gigs gone in a flash. Unknown time until I get it back.

Sod.

Annoying little punk in my Boy Scout Troop decided it would be fun to spam my flip-phone into oblivion. Took it out of my pocket and set it on the table (near the edge, I am smart) as we worked on our projects. The non-stop vibrations pushed it off the table, essentially breaking its spine.

It fought the good fight and I am proud of it for coming so far with me. Thank you, flip-phone. RIP, 2008-2015.

Also my right bike pedal (plastic) has broken and the repair shop I asked estimated around $25 for a quality metal replacement. Also that rear brake is starting to get stuck again. Joy. If I don't get shipped off to the army in the few years, I'll crash into the side of a building because my brakes failed.

Myeeeh. At least I got the classwork done.

Thanks for reading about my BS!

Could have turned off your phone.

Or called him. And called him. And called him. Repeatedly.

Blargh, it's past 4am and i have to go do project work at 8:15am. My bowels are preventing me from going to sleep, and i am once more reminded of exactly why i hate my bowels as much as i do. One little slip in my train of thoughts right now, and i'll be sent hurtling into a feedback loop that would culminate in me vomiting out of sheer stress/anxiety if i don't manage to recover in time. The worst part is that it's 90% mental, and despite my awareness of that, it keeps on going. And to make matters even worse, i'd probably not feel better if i did vomit, since that's a huge stress on my psyche as well. Hooray for anxiety and IBS. :I

I cannot help myself but think negatively all the time anymore. No matter what I'm doing, even if I'm just sitting around, my first thought is always "God I don't want to be doing this anymore." I have no drive or motivation to do anything but eat, mindlessly browse the same 3-4 webpages, then sleep so I can do it all again the next day. Whenever I talk to anybody, it feels like all I have to talk about is complaints in my personal life. I don't even feel like knitting anymore, and that's the most low-effort activity that I partake in.

You have described me. Are you sure you're not me?
