I don’t feel very good right now and I’m hoping it’s just the fact that I’m a bit sleep deprived (I slept for like 4 hours last night)

I’m gonna try and go to sleep early for once. It’s only 11pm so I guess we’ll see what happens

Your brain gets more fucked up the less you sleep (falling sleep gets even harder, you start getting hyper and want to do many things, you have racing thoughts and you get derealization and the world feels weird). Forget about being productive, there is no deadline right now. You need to slow down or get help, it can get really bad and then after that you get a burnout that can last months.
Yayyy for self improvement

Even if it happens very slowly
Those Rare moments where I feel grounded in space and time are awesome (that sounds too dramatic haha. I mean those moments when I’m NOT completely spaced out or thinking about the future/past. Life is good when I’m not spending my time thinking about those things. I think that’s the main habit I need to cut out and then I’ll be alright for good. Working on it. Slowly but it’s happening
I am trying to learn to focus on what’s happening in the present moment because I either think too far ahead into the future or too far back in the past

It’s not good for me I can tell. Slowly trying to work on it. I get Too many existential thoughts that make no sense because of it

Like dude why the hell am I getting worried about what I’m gonna be doing in 50 years it makes no logical sense
I want to be productive tomorrow but I’m scared that’s not gonna happen. Hopefully when I wake up I’ll have the motivation to do something other than just sit there
I wish I could fall asleep faster

I either take 5 mins or 2 hours to fall asleep and it’s completely random
I definitely need more sleep

Sometimes I get weirdly nervous to go to bed though. Idk why
Sometimes life just starts feeling really strange for no reason and you get this.. Creepy unreal feeling. I don’t know how to describe it at all. I think too deeply into things and then everything feels really surreal. I don’t know how to explain it
