For the past few days I've been feeling completely whipped out. Usually I'm miserable and lonely anyways, but now on top of that I just don't feel like doing anything anymore including sleeping so I just sit here with a blank mind or just aimlessly wandering around the internet just feeling my emotional and mental pain while not really thinking about anything at all. Don't know what to do about this or anything, but yeah...guess that's about it.

Have you considered doing breathing meditation? It might help you relax. Here is a website I found that has some instructions. Free Guided Meditations | UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center

There are also apps for cell phones to help with this. I use Relax Now HD and I also use Buddhify. I also use progressive muscle relaxation for help going to sleep. I just listen and follow the suggestions and I'm usually asleep before the program finishes. There are also many videos on YouTube for practicing.

Thanks for the suggestions and resources.

I really don't think anxiety is the issue for me not sleeping, it is just I don't want to sleep, just as much as I don't really want to do anything else. A lack of total will to do. I use to listen to ASMR for relaxation to go to sleep, but now just like a few minutes into such things I'm just like "I don't care." and close the videos.

Really I don't even want to get better anymore because of the apathy just consuming my mind.
