mini rant because im sick and tired of this shit.
so i can't sleep at night. i obviously have insomnia because i've gone three to four days without being able to do so. i've tired everything. tea for sleep, prescription drugs, not being on the computer at least two hours before bed. i tried closing my eyes and all that shit, but i just toss and turn.
so tonight i figured "fuck it" and stayed up all night doing some work for an online class because i rather being doing something than losing my mind with all my thoughts.
anyways, mom comes and starts bitching on how i should be asleep. i told her countless times that i can't. even if i try. even if i turn all the lights off, close my eyes, take my medication, it doesn't help.
i really don't know what her problem is because she used to have insomnia and she knows very well how hard this shit is. im getting new sleeping medication from my doctors to see if it'll help but she doesn't want me to take them. she's very against the whole "anti-depressant" and "sleeping pills" thing.
she wants me to sleep but she doesn't want me to try any other methods to help me. she just yelled at me telling me it's my fault when i clearly can't control this. when i sleep, i sleep. but when i can't, i just don't.
so i just got called a bunch of names (which is what she does when she gets mad and she knows im right and can't say anything about it).
we haven't fought in a long time because i usually avoid her around the house, but she gets up to work very early and im still up, so that interaction is inevitable. anyways, im just salty that i get called a demon every turn of the way when something inconveniences her. like, of course im not but there was a point in my life where i believed i was and tried to take my own life because she got into my head- i was younger then. i know not to believe the things she says but sometimes i can't help it and my thoughts spiral. i just want to stop thinking about myself as something inhuman. i'm a person. a human being, not a demon.
so sorry for anyone that reads this, im just having a bit of a tough time here and i need an outlet for my rage or it'll consume me and i'll make the same mistake i made when i was in middle school.
end rant.
