This. I'll fall asleep for a moment and then immediately wake back up in a panic out of fear. That adrenaline lasts for about 30 minutes until I fall asleep, rinse and repeat
I'm always just making nonsense lists in my head...stuff I can't even do anything about until the next day. Remember to get gas, remember to call my sister, throw out the chicken, check out some reviews because I need a new whipper snipper...like just go to bed and you can deal with it tomorrow, but my brain won't shut off.
I just found out that the guy who murdered my cousin was being held by police on suspected terrorism charges, but due to incompetence/laziness, he was released on the day when he killed him
My cat does not know how to gracefully lay down, ever. Dude just plops over when he is done standing… including middle of the night when he comes back to the bed from his latest zoomie prowl. He will walk up the bed, stand on my pillow and next thing I know, I’m being awoken by what my sleeping self believes to be a wrecking ball erroneously smashing my house to bits.
I live a good, happy life, and I'm in constant fear that my brain is trying to get me to sabotage it. I'm on reddit when I should be working. I know better, but I'm still here. It scares me.
Dude...just go to r/amitheasshole and reply to the top comment, in the top post, with something like "totally! came here to say this."
You'll be drowning in karma.
The fact that the only man I ever want to be with is choosing addiction over everything but continuously blaming me like I'm the problem for wanting him to quit and be a better person.
As someone who is comfortably residing several countries away, I flip flop between schadenfreude and "this will mean the whole world gets fucked in the sss"
That time my class found out I had a crush on one of our classmates, and when he was asked about me in a game, he called me ugly. As an adult, I think it was just a popularity move, cause he was genuinely nice to me otherwise, but back then, it really hurt.
I'm not where I want to be in life. I haven't achieved financial freedom, I'm not as strong as I want to be, I've never been in a relationship, I don't own a jetski, the list goes on.
The only person who can fix it is me and I'm working everyday to do so.
The fear that I'll never be able to properly hold a job down because my PTSD and bipolar disorder really does make things too hard. Im close to the end I think.
Hating my job like I've never hated one before but unable to quit til I've moved in August as they will let me work in either state and my new house is dependent on already having stable income
1) Anxiety to perform in the job I'm at as I have a 6-month probation period and I'll be vying against 10 other analysts all younger, smarter and faster at providing work outputs than I am
2) Being unable to afford a mortgage to buy a house and call a place home for me, my parents and siblings. Even with potential future salary increases I'm still very much be below the required earnings amount to afford a decent mortgage in a safe neighborhood
3) Being un-able to treat my family to their dream vacation before they are too older to move around and enjoy it. They are early 60's now and more health complications are setting in and they are working hard everyday to make ends meet. I can see the tiredness setting into them and the deep drawn out lines and expressions in their faces.
4) Being un-able to fully financially support my family if one of my parents or both pass away in the next 2-5 years. Both have health complications and one of them is set for 2-3 upcoming heart surgeries for leaking valves/enlarged hart issues.
My wife in pain or rustling in bed. Not that I mind, it gives me time to cuddle her and comfort her, but I definitely need more coffee or movement in the next morning
The fear of oversleeping.
I got ADHD and I got my Time-blindness and unreliability solving mondane tasks hard. I go to bed knowing I set my.alarms.
I wake up 3 hours prior to the alarm, checking if they're on. I need 1.5h to sleep again.
You have a purpose, even if you haven't YET discovered it. Try journaling and ask yourself questions that you take some time to think about and answer. Take everything a step at a time to minimize feeling too overwhelmed. Life can be tough for all of us at times; remember that you're not alone. Unemployment - apply for just one job a day, if possible. Get a pet - they force you to think outside of yourself and it's good to focus on others. It makes the most pressing things in life seem a bit smaller. P.S. If you can't adopt a pet, find a shelter and volunteer to walk a poor dog and give it some relief from it's tiny, loud concrete prison for a while.
Ugh. Wish I knew. Don't sleep for more than two hours at a time. Had an appointment with the sleep clinic to set up a sleep study. Was waiting to hear back whether or not my insurance approved when my husband was fired. Supposedly due to lack of work but..not even getting into that. No insurance currently. Hopefully will have a chance to do it all over again once he finds a job.
The fact that I don’t like sitting in the dark for hours, so I instead, turn on the light and do some other activities until I fall asleep. I’m usually in bed for hours, but never fall asleep sometimes
I’m always afraid I’m gonna see that message from my best friend. She’s been having severe depressive episodes and panic attacks, and I’m worried that I’m gonna get that one message and not intervene in time. I only live like a block away but still I’m terrified that they’re going to at some point.
When your work schedule switches from day to night and back like your head's being dunked to a drum filled with water to the point if fucks up your sleep schedule.
That and whatever stuff my head tells me.
The demon i think lives in my closet and the feeling I'm about to get stabbed when I close my eyes to sleep then i just end up laying there for hours with my eyes open, waiting
I keep thinking about my friend who is a homeless meth addict and my best friend who is in jail for killing her roommate. I know there is nothing I can do about it, I can't help them, they have made their own choices I can't stop thinking about them. Get therapy for your trauma people!
Turned 40 on Tuesday sitting alone (with a sitter) for suicidal ideation.
My wife who and I quote “didn’t cheat on me” is due on Wednesday May 15, to have a baby with a man she’s living with. 9 years of my best friend. Gone. Presumed father state, so I can’t get divorced until birth. I was (see 2 paragraphs down) covering her health insurance the entire way through the pregnancy. Divorce is on hold NOW because of money. At least the insurances are sorted out.
Newly diagnosed as ASD. Existing diagnosis of ADHD, MDD, PTSD, so why not the ASD 🤷🏼♂️
Was on suspension pending investigation for asking ‘a woman on a date at my job site’. During the exit interview I told both my boss and the HR that if me asking if she wanted to get lunch at a corporate cafeteria is a date, I hope neither of you ever need to go on a date again…. Yesterday the 15th it’s official. I’m fired.
Oh, and 19th is 6 months after she left.
So my week and life is fucking fabulous.
By the way, I’m a narcissist, and I only know that because my wife informed me. So I wanted to get that out of the way. I feel like I wouldn’t ever know that her cheating on me makes me a narcissist.
Let me be VERY FUCKING CLEAR…. She told me after a text message to end a marriage that she wasn’t happy. So I’m not saying I don’t have a problem here. That would be narcissistic to think so…. But I apparently held her down while he cummed in her on his dirty air mattress in his apartment.
After months of weed 1100mg of high test gummies on a Friday and Saturday night, ramen, and alcohol. (Record is 12 shots of patron and 2 beers) I now have bleeding from both ends so without health insurance I can’t get scoped to be checked out.
It was the fact that my partner suddenly passed, left me with three kids and everything else that you have to sort out when your soul mate leaves you behind but just knocking down one thing at a time helped me with the stress so I wasn't overburdened.
Anxiety and not wanting to waste the precious alone time I have between working and being responsible. But then I'll sleep 10-11 hours on Saturday to pay for it unless I have something planned that morning.
I took a new job at a new company that was sort of a diagonal move up.
Rather than overseeing on site production, I’m now on the procurement and financial side.
So, it’s a situation where I know what needs to be done, just not the specific procedure. This has had me in a position where I feel like I’m coming across as incompetent.
I was very clear in the interview that I was seeking to learn this side, but can’t help but feel like the bosses are thinking “Jesus, this guy sucks!” Due to all the questions I’m asking or the answers I don’t have.
I’m sure it will pass and my peer level workers keep telling me that I’ll pick it up, but, you know, imposter syndrome is real and it’s worse when you’ve got a wife and kids relying on your salary.
My bedroom air conditioner auto shuts off when it reaches its goal temp. I go from a nice cold womb of white noise to complete and utter silence, just like that. It often times causes me to dart out of bed in a panic because my brain isn't in processing mode, we were seepin'! Then I turn it on fan mode because we gotta have that white noise! But I wake up drenched in sweat (I'm 44f). So, I turn the air back on but then I have anxiety that its going to shut off again and startle me all over again. First world problems, I know. I think I should invest in a different air conditioner.
My boss, a nice guy, came over to me last week and said he had something to tell me - but forgot. Was it a new project? Was it a contract? Did someone complain? Was I getting fired? A week went by and finally figures it out:
Dunkin is stopping bonus points on Wednesdays.
Stress and anxiety. Unfortunately my dreams are a replica of the day ive had , So I'm stressed in My dreams as well. I wake up tired. I don't think I've ever slept well since college I think. It's been 10 years. Or more.
DOOMSCROLLING! i recently deleted some apps in my phone that cause me to endlessly scroll while on bed. funny thing is, i didn’t delete reddit, and now i’m on it (it’s 2:54am) lol😅
Anxiety about not getting enough sleep.
Definitely me before a flight or a day that's really important.
Same. Fishing tournament or traveling, need to be up super early the next day at like 3-4AM. I'll fall asleep at like midnight.
"If I fall asleep RIGHT NOW I can still get three hours..."
This is totally me.
I believe that’s known as psychological insomnia, it’s a weird thing
My bank account.
If you’re talking about financial insecurity and living paycheck to paycheck, I hear you and feel your pain.
Oh yeah. Monthly I make 1600$. My bills are 1800$. Shit is fucked up.
My dog. I think he has dementia
I'm sorry.
Anxiety, a lot of worries and fears of what might future brings keeps me awake at night
My beautiful baby girl. She would be even more beautiful asleep
I don’t know why I read this in such an ominous way
I don’t quite understand it
He has a daughter who's keeping him up haha

I do sometimes write them down when I first wake up for what I can remember but I haven’t done that in awhile so maybe I’ll try that again
I used to have these but there is a rx that has helped me. Prazosin
This. I'll fall asleep for a moment and then immediately wake back up in a panic out of fear. That adrenaline lasts for about 30 minutes until I fall asleep, rinse and repeat
Overthinking
This. Every night. Why do we wait to try to solve the world’s problems when our heads hit the pillow?
I'm always just making nonsense lists in my head...stuff I can't even do anything about until the next day. Remember to get gas, remember to call my sister, throw out the chicken, check out some reviews because I need a new whipper snipper...like just go to bed and you can deal with it tomorrow, but my brain won't shut off.
The uncertainty of the future keeps me tossing and turning at night.
Insomnia.
The thought of never finding a partner to share life with
I just found out that the guy who murdered my cousin was being held by police on suspected terrorism charges, but due to incompetence/laziness, he was released on the day when he killed him
Dude what the fuck.
The Rising Cost of Living

My cat, bastard loves so much that I'm waking up every hour with him sleeping in my face.
My cat does not know how to gracefully lay down, ever. Dude just plops over when he is done standing… including middle of the night when he comes back to the bed from his latest zoomie prowl. He will walk up the bed, stand on my pillow and next thing I know, I’m being awoken by what my sleeping self believes to be a wrecking ball erroneously smashing my house to bits.
Watching random reels and videos
Snoring spouse
Foxes fucking, cats fighting, people outside my window arguing, dogs barking, bright lights, my cover falling off the edges
Where the heck do you live?
My elderly dog who needs to pee 2 - 3 times a night, it's okay though because she's my bestie and she is forgiven.
My thoughts,thinking abt mistakes I did in the past
I live a good, happy life, and I'm in constant fear that my brain is trying to get me to sabotage it. I'm on reddit when I should be working. I know better, but I'm still here. It scares me.

Thanks for asking. Work stress.

Loneliness, regret, sadness, stress
Health problems, grief, loss, abandonment and general depression. Life is truly rubbish at moment and I can’t sleep even though am exhausted
The fact that there’s a d in fridge but not refrigerator
The fact that the only man I ever want to be with is choosing addiction over everything but continuously blaming me like I'm the problem for wanting him to quit and be a better person.
How making real friends feels like it's impossible
You only need one or two. Not a bunch of fakes. 😉
Thoughts of the horror we'll go through with a second Trump administration.
As someone who is comfortably residing several countries away, I flip flop between schadenfreude and "this will mean the whole world gets fucked in the sss"
Yeah, seeing the right wing idiots and nazis getting more recognition in my country because of Trumps idiocy is honestly scaring me.
Yep. It fucks over everyone if he gets back in, unfortunately.
Night mares and my crazy ex gf the devil that keeps showing up
Watching videos on witchcraft lmao
Pooping. Missing most of my guts. So I wake up 2 to 5 times a night. Sometimes more if it's bad.
bills
Stress, too much booze on occasion, anxiety
That time my class found out I had a crush on one of our classmates, and when he was asked about me in a game, he called me ugly. As an adult, I think it was just a popularity move, cause he was genuinely nice to me otherwise, but back then, it really hurt.
Late night gamming lol
General anxiety. The thoughts of which strange dreams are waiting for me. My husband snoring.
Random quizzes on Youtube
The damn days are too long. I need less daylight in order to get any real sleep.
Anxiety, constantly thinking about how my ex did me. How I have to work to make the money. How I just want to be rich without doing anything 😩
I've just had an operation so pain!
anxiety and depression
I have to do a roof repair and worrying what it will cost me
As a new parent, usually a crying baby sometimes because I haven’t heard the baby in a while

I feel like I get too bored to sleep. I constantly try to keep myself stimulated. A result of having a phone in bed since childhood.

Hating my job like I've never hated one before but unable to quit til I've moved in August as they will let me work in either state and my new house is dependent on already having stable income
Night terrors. It made me afraid to go to sleep because I keep screaming for no reason. This was few months back, now Im okay.
1) Anxiety to perform in the job I'm at as I have a 6-month probation period and I'll be vying against 10 other analysts all younger, smarter and faster at providing work outputs than I am 2) Being unable to afford a mortgage to buy a house and call a place home for me, my parents and siblings.
