    This it way too real. It’s the reason I sometimes only get about 2 hours of sleep at night, because my brain is in overdrive, overthinking everything and making up fake scenarios that could’ve been or might happen. They never happen because it’s just wishful thinking. Why am I torturing myself like that.

      It’s somehow worse when you do get the sleep, but your brain has decided to do this in your dreams. You wake up feeling angry and, rapidly, can’t remember half the reason why.

        Sometimes I get this, sometimes not.

        Today, I woke up giggling after a decent amount of sleep.

    “There are more things … likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” - Seneca Read the stoic philosophers, more relevant than ever in this day and age.

    why do we do this self rate-baiting?

    is it vain imaginings, where we have all the comebacks or some sort of victim persecution complex (I guess that’s another form of vain thinking)
