Everyone's asleep. I can't sleep. I want to crawl out of my skin. I'm obsessing over a limited edition piece of art I saw at IKEA today that I didn't buy. I'm exceedingly angry at my sister for stupid reasons. Every time I scroll past her name or a picture of hers on social media I want to reach through my iPad and punch her in the face. My apartment is messy and I'm obsessing about that too. I feel the intense need to clean it up, but it's too late at night, I don't want to wake anyone and I don't have the physical energy to do it. I have a million and one things going on in my mind and I can't control or focus on any of them. My ears are ringing so loudly that it's deafening. I have a headache and my stomach is upset. I can't stop shaking. I took a benzo and it didn't help take the edge off of anything. I've had a really bad day. I want to sleep but I'm afraid to because of nightmares. I apparently started screaming in my sleep last night but I don't remember doing it. Right now I want to run outside into the forest and scream as loud as I can. I hate feeling like this. I don't know what to do.

I am so sorry to hear this! Do you like music? Maybe listening to something mellow will help calm you. Or perhaps a favorite tv show or movie you can put on to help distract you?

I am extremely manic at night. Its like my primetime. Just calm yourself. Take a shower even if you have to! Sometimes the water can be calming too.

Hopefully you feel better soon!!

I've tried a bunch of things to distract myself. I tried listening to a meditation, and to my go to music that I like to listen to when I get this way and it hasn't helped thus far. I just put on my favorite movie (Fargo) and am hoping maybe that will help. I guess time will tell. I have random tears streaming down my face for no reason. I'm not even crying, they're just pouring out. I want to go wake my husband up so I'm not alone but I feel like his presence would just irritate me. It's horrible to not want to be alone but to be irritated when people are around.
