What Is On Your Mind?

Sorry but It seems that my bandwidth cannot stand coffee. Hope you didn't miss something important.

 

We really should start working on that, bandwith that can transport coffee. It seems like one of those inventions that can save the world.

And no. I am home sick at the moment, so I can get all the rest my body tells me I need.

 

I myself have been having a hard timesleeping. RReally sucks.

 

Timesleeping. That does sound like a fascinating concept

What do your problems consist of? Hard time falling asleep? staying asleep? Waking up? A combination thereof?

 

Hahahaha, oh boy I have great news. My mom is a nurse, ok? So on the missionary with ebola topic, this guys was treated in Spain's most prepared hospital for ebola and that's a lie. It seems that biohazard suits were stored here, were I live. They had to call a retired old lady because no one remembered where the suits were XDDDDDD
Sounds like a joke but, reality is funny as hell XD

 

hard time falling asleep. It's probably stress and thinking too much before going to bed

 

If you want, I could throw some advice in that area your way?

 

mmm?

 

For thinking/stressing out too much: write in a diary of some kind, stream of consciousness style maybe, before you start going to bed. Meditation is something that helps me, but that's not for everyone (for guided meditations, youtube/google kabat-zinn; his stuff is quite good).

More general falling asleep better stuff:
- no cafeine after a certain time. Some people stop it after dinner, I tend to stop it after lunch
- no screens (including smartphone...) from about an hour before you want to go to sleep (although if you really want to use a screen, use something like https://justgetflux.com/)
- have a "strict" going to bed ritual, so your body knows after a while that if you do X, you'll go to bed soon (I meditate, shower, write in my diary, sleep)
- try to go to bed and wake up at about the same time every day/night
- see if it helps you to listen to things while falling asleep. Some people like music, my girlfriend likes gaming streams, I prefer podcasts. Having them on a sleep-timer is even better, so it turns off by itself after a while
- use your bed/bedroom only for sleeping (I don't do this, btw, reading in bed is way too comfy)
- have a "calm" bedroom. Too much clutter can make your head feel cluttered.

Hope some of this is useful to you, or others here

 

I almost always have the radio on. If people are doing a talkshow, I can't sleep. Sometimes I read before bed, otherwise I browse my phone for a bit. It really hasn't affected my sleeping though. I do now Have a chair in the corner of my room so I can do homework or play Skyrim. That way my mom doesn't throw everything back into my room if I have it out in the sitting area in the basement. It's mostly because I'm stressing about my boyfriend and my sick grandparent. It'll be gone soon, but I hope I don't get insomnia.

 

My partner just called me to tell me I have to drink all the beer immediately.

 

I am a pile of goop, or rather I was until half an hour ago. She misses me like crazy, adljfadlskfjadlkfjalda.

But yeah, had to get up early today for my brothers rescheduled psychiatrist appointment (which they gave us the wrong time for, they told us 9:45 and it was actually at 9:15, so we missed it,) and then came back home and lo and behold, little brother has been texting his "friends" about wanting to go to the local high school to get shot and similar suicide-ridden messages. So I went from being incredibly happy for the first time since I got back down here to mellowed out and having to take away his phone as well as blocking every communication device on his computer and every social networking/media site known to man as well as imposing time restrictions and implementing a means of monitoring his activity. I just can't have a win without something else happening, can I?

 

Why's that?

 

*hugs blinding* I'm sorry to hear that.

 

I don't know but it's no problem.

 

Don't be, it's not yours or anybody else's fault. It's weird though, I think I posted about it on here but before my trip he actually got physically threatening with my mother (it involved a guitar and threatening to beat the shit out of her,) so since that happened I've had zero sympathy for him. He's made it clear that he doesn't want to be helped, that he wants to continue to be in that pit of self pity and hatred, so I guess I'm still trying to provide him with help because if he does end up killing himself it's going to devastate my mom and I don't want to see that happen. Pretty sure that makes me a horrible person but whatever.

I wish I had beer. 17 days until I'm 21 though, so soon enough I'll be stocked up on liquors.

 

That item looks psycadelic.

 

I'm the happiest little fox in the world today. *happy sigh*

 

Care to elaborate?

 

Where did everyone go? One moment we were all posting and now everyone is gone :O
