I had no idea this was something troubling at all and felt it was just normal. As I've gained more insight into other issues this one has become clear. I can lose a whole day and not even realize it.

How did you stop the night time ones, or did they go on their own? I don't usually get them during the day, well they don't last anywhere near as long because I can usually distract myself out of it. But at night time there's nothing to do except try to relax and go to sleep so it just gets out of control for me :/

Then, I decided not to give it to him in the end due to anxiety about giving it to him after all that work.... |
Yeah I can relate to putting so much effort into something that you're afraid to give it in case it's not appreciated. It's just too risky to make yourself so vulnerable by revealing something you've put your heart and soul into. Well that's how I feel about it anyway
