let go of my inhibitions
It's not that I can't do crazy things... 3 years ago

It’s that I’m always thinking (since this anti-drug advertising campaign had the slogan in Australia in the 90s) ‘how will you feel tomorrow’. I can’t do bad things without thinking of the consequences. I want to be able to switch of that guilt and fear and just do whatever it is.

I mean, my inhibitions have stopped me doing some stupid things, so that’s good, but I want to be able to switch them off sometimes, like when I’m on a ride or at a party.

If you’ve never done it how will you know what you will feel the next day? And if whatever it is, is bad then why would you want to do it?

Risk.

Thank you. I just wanted to understand the entry and your thinking better and help you even if it might mean a new direction/goal.

I hope you sleep better and more easily soon. Maybe a routine or a different bed (or position of the bed) might help? Is the room too warm? Are you too cold? ♥

since you asked...

i can think of many many reasons why my sleeping patterns are mucked up right now, including

1. there is no window in my room, so the sun doens’t wake me up in the morning, and it’s hot in here
2. my habits have gotten bad and they self perpetuate
3. study anxiety
4. poly cystic ovary syndrome (makes you sleepy during the day and alert at night)
5. i have class till late
6. if my blood sugars were too high or low (i have diabetes)
7. most of my friends are in a different time zone so i stay up late talking to them on the internet (since i’ve moved from australia to new york)

basically, i have sleep problems but i learn to live with them, and if i try to change it it only makes it worse because if i go to bed early it makes me anxious that i won’t sleep, and i end up sleeping later than if i went to bed late

There is actually this expensive alarm clock that light up more and more as it gets closer to the time you wanted to wake up. Then, you wake up more easily because while your sleeping light obviously hits your lids and you are slightly more awake.

“Night Owl” syndrome, hey you could always get a night-shift job (in the future). I think they tend to pay slightly more.

I remember when I was younger, when it started to get dark out I would have this sudden urge to…clean. Organize everything. My biological mother would yell at me for it but there was no other time when I would be motivated and I enjoyed it. Quirky but fun…

Food and affects is a whole ‘nother story that I can’t fit into an entry.

You can get away with that during summer vacation but not now.

I wouldn’t suggest going to bed very early—your body isn’t used to it but everything is feasible so I hope you don’t take the easy way out and do your best to fix it.

um, it’s been on hiatus for a while. I’ll think about it, hmm.

I’ve thought about it, and I think I have made some progress in one respect. I have been to 3 performances in the last week or so on my own, and have a ticket for a fourth. I ended up meeting this guy who tried to pick me up in one instance, hanging out with the performer and his family and friends in the second instance, and having a great time in the third. I know that a few years ago I never would have done that, so I think that is progress.
