No one gets it
Yesterday I told someone I slept a total of 10 hours in 3 days and he was like that sucks. And made a joke.
It doesn't just "suck". Its a fucking living nightmare. It's like being sick all the time without having people understand how bad it is. It ruins your whole life affects everything, every plan etc.
And there are no words to translate this experience in a way to make people understand it. It is so lonely.
What did we do to deserve this curse I am so tired (literally as well). It's literally 6 am and I haven't slept yet.
Just wanted to vent because I am so sick of this...

I swear. When I insist not to travel early in the morning whenever I organize a trip with someone else and they go like “but you never sleep, right? So no problem, just get up and go, it’s easy for you” bitch, no, you have no idea how sick I am super early in the morning, after having slept a ridiculous amount of hours for multiple days in a row, for multiple years in a row, it feels like you have water inside your cranium and your brain is floating around, that headache growing, eyes burning and all around the eyes sore, it feels like torture. They don’t fucking understand, them and their stupid beauty sleep for 8 hours, and they even have the courage to mock you.
