Day: January 24 Sunday 2016

Who I was with: Ryan until 9:30PM
When I was alone: up until 1:30ishPM and after 9:30
Stressors [depressed]: family (grandma, grandpa, cousins) was going to come over but because of a murder my grandpa witnessed they need to stay, Catie packed everything and left, first day of school it tomorrow.
Contributors [happy]: Ryan coming over, dressing up a little bit
Dreams: bizarre dreams about animals and pets, I don’t remember much except I really wanted a cat (or dog) that was pure white or pure black, would have asked for a pet rat if my parents didn’t hate rats
Sleep: Went to bed after 12:40AM (had planned to go to bed around 10:30PM but got to distracted) and woke up several times like 8:15AM (had planned to get up at this time) and 9:15AM but officially woke around or before 11:40 and got up around 11:50AM
Moon Phase: full moon
Illness: N/A
What I feel: I’m feeling somber or a bit numb. I thought I’d either be excited or anxious because school starts tomorrow and that it is a full moon (and now I am sad that I did nothing for the full moon). I guess I have a bit of a heavy feeling in my chest right now. Got to remind myself that I need to get up and go tomorrow, no buts. Am I starting to get depressed again? Because school is starting and I started a job? Maybe my brain is worried and anxious, not ready for what’s about to come and just about to shut down feelings and desires. It just wants to feel when Ryan is around but not long really for much else. It concerns me that I’m going to go back to before and not do homework. Not pass any of my tests. Just sleep all the time and say “forget the world.” Perhaps over thinking is my problem. I have the tendency to get fixated on some things and pretty much obsess over things. I just keep thinking. And thinking. Non stop. Then, I think about other things that contribute to my insecurities and things that make me upset. These thoughts, these things, they come out of no where, but seem to be triggered by the slightest thing. When I was at a concert, I saw how talented of singers and performers they were and cried that I was mediocre if even that. I keep over thinking things, and sometimes I wish it would all just stop. I suppose I am upset with myself with how my room is. I haven’t changed my calendar, hell, I haven’t even finish marking all the days off December. And don’t get me started on my pile of clothes I have to hang up. I wanted to try to sleep by 10:30PM. It’s now passed 11:50PM. If I am in a depressed state of mind, waking up will be harder than usual. Well shit… It’s not passed 1:10AM and I have come to realize that it was anxiety that I actually was feeling early. That heavy feeling. It was no “serene” or “at peace” in me, it was that feeling that will keep me awake. I will still try my best to sleep. I will keep trying, and hoping. I know it will work eventually, just sooner is better than later.
