My intentions were so good.

Dear [personal profile] enemyofperfect ,

When I have a small snack, brush my teeth, take my pills, lie down in bed, and turn out the lights, the next thing that is supposed to happen is that I fall asleep.

Other acceptable activities include thinking peacefully about my day, thinking happily about my day, thinking productively about my day (in moderation), thinking enjoyably about stories, and listening to music.  Sleep is the ultimate goal, but any and all of these are acceptable stops along the way.

Kindly notice that freaking out for no particular reason is nowhere on this list.

Furthermore, there is no provision for adding it to the list merely because I take the above steps somewhat earlier than usual, or because I'm too exhausted to deal with this kind of nonsense.

Freaking out for no real reason is never on the list.

Affectionately (and axiomatically) yours,
[personal profile] enemyofperfect

I did the "freak out for no good reason" earlier today!

Didn't you say recently we were somehow synchronized? I feel like I should have warned you.

Yeah, when my anx-brain takes over, it just goes haywire. I go to bed at 11pm and end up waking up at 5AM for no fucking reason, and that's if I manage to get any sleep in the first place.

Oh the freaking out for no real reason. How fun it is. For values of fun that mean not fun at all.

I hope things are better for you now.
