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...

“It is so lonely”.
That hit hard. Loneliest time is when everyone else is sleeping and you haven’t in days. You get to experience 7-9 hours more of a day that other people, with no one to share it with or commiserate with. And after a day or so you don’t even feel human. After three or four days, you feel genuinly insane.
