Back to the inital question regarding a pause button - I've actually decided that life needs to move forwards. Having a pause button will only disrupt whatever routine one is in. But a routine is the only way you can assist yourself in staying stable.
My weekends are for catching up on sleep mainly. I've noticed myself becoming addicted to sleeping tabs in the past, so I know I need to be weary of them, but I will still take the occassional one to get my sleep back into routine.
Without sleep, my world falls apart.
