I hate mixed states. My thoughts are all negative and death focused. And they're going so fast I can't counter them. The lack of sleep doesn't help either. And the irritability makes no one else want to be around me.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
