Every night I try to sleep but I can’t, I keep thinking of awful things that have happened or worrying about the future of the world. I end up being extremely depressed and anxious so I try looking around the room to calm myself but then the darkness makes things into horrible terrifying shapes and the noises outside become so loud. I hide under my covers and cry myself to sleep every night, it’s the same cycle. Sometimes my parent makes me a drink that has melatonin in it and I knock out right away which I’m thankful for but whenever I do sleep I always have nightmares. My sleep schedule is all messed up, I haven’t slept well in so long, I’m so tired. Sometimes I feel like I’m struggling to keep breathing but I just tell myself that everything will hopefully be okay eventually. If I say it enough times, maybe I’ll somewhat start to believe it. But here I am writing this and not being able to sleep. :-(
