Sleep is one of the few things I find comfort in

[Rocinante]

When I am asleep, even if for only a brief moment, I cease to exist. I do it often and wish I could all the time, but you can only sleep away so many hours of the day. It's like a temporary break from this existence. The only drawback is, when I near the end of my sleep, I suffer from reoccurring nightmares where I am alone for the rest of my life. It's like I'm in a liminal space and there's people I once new taunting my for my loneliness. But it beats the real world.

Hi, are you me?

I sleep from 10 to 12 hours every night. I both need to do it for that long and I also like doing it because I can't see myself facing the world for more than 12 hours everyday.

 

[Klophy]

Yeah, definitely. I end up sleeping most of the day away lately. Anxiety/panic attacks males it hard at times but this is one of my only escapes.

The other being daydreaming. I'm somehow able to imagine myself happy. The only problem is, it's never as me.

The less i'm actively participating in the real world the better

Me too. It's where dreams exist, right?

Recently I watched a YouTube video about cancer, where they said that because of the disease, people experience severe pain and sleep a lot due to a slow metabolism. Doctors do not recommend waking them up, because at this time they rest from pain ... This is literally me, such a fleeting dream, but such a good time where I disconnect from reality, forget about my past and be, a place where you can at least take a break from real world, it will be necessary to somehow prolong this dream ...

Sleep is an oasis in the middle of an endless desert

Sleep certainly is the closest thing to not existing to me, it really is the best way to pass the time and make this futile process of slowly dying go quicker. But for me temporary sleep could never be enough of a relief as long as the chance of waking is always there, only permanent sleep could ever offer true relief from this awful existence, to me existence is a nightmare, a temporary disturbance in what would otherwise be the perfect state of non-existence.

Me too. So of course I have insomnia.

Benzos that allow me to sleep have been one of the best things that's ever happened to me
