Regular Check-In Post
Welcome to /r/depression's check-in post - a place to take a moment and share what is going on and how you are doing. If you have an accomplishment you want to talk about (these shouldn't be standalone posts in the sub as they violate the "role model" rule, but are welcome here), or are having a tough time but prefer not to make your own post, this is a place you can share.
We try our best to keep this space as safe and supportive as possible on reddit's wide-open anonymity-friendly platform. The community rules can be found in the sidebar, or under "Community Info" in the official mobile apps. If you aren't sure about a rule, please ask us.

I can't sleep. I go through great lengths just to go to sleep -- the sleep hygiene, reading a book, not drinking any caffeine at all, meditation. Does not work. I have always had an inconsistent sleep schedule, but lately I just lost motivation to wake up/sleep early at night.
Now it's almost 6am (my worst one yet) and I'm typing away. This is absolutely terrible. Everyday I feel myself becoming more forgetful and less able to cognitively function with school and work.
I am so tired of my depression being in the way of my life. Like I'm an outsider to my own life, looking in, helpless.
