Don't want to sleep, Don't want to wake

[Chopperjr]

Title says it all, anxiety when i sleeping, never want to go to bed, and when i do go to bed i regret waking up. Generally because of school and know i have to go through the same personal hell every weekday for the next two years and working my summer away under my perfectionists dads wing. Fan fucking tastic.

I have felt like this before too. It's like being stuck in the middle because neither option seems particularly good. Do you have a lot on your mind that makes it hard to sleep, or do you just not want to? Do you have nightmares or anything? And maybe you should try talking to your dad about working all summer? Maybe he won't listen, but I suppose it's worth a shot if that's really bothering you

No nightmares, i often dont sleep enough to dream, but its grades, school, all that crap, im not learning what i want to learn and its causing me to fail with teachers and parents breathing down my back. i really just want to wear a sign that says fuck off in all caps.

this is just a tough stage in your life and you'll get through it. try to find time in your day to do something you enjoy, and just unwind. dont think of yourself as a failure because you arent, and you have the ability to make it through these struggles. relaxing your mind and enjoying yourself will help you enjoy your time awake more, and sleep will come easier. just remember that sleep is necessary, but shouldn't be used as an escape all the time. try to excersize during the day and you will feel much better. you'll be more energetic shortly afterwards, and sleep will be better too. think happy thoughts before going to bed and do something you enjoy, but won't keep you from falling asleep or getting anxious. reading a book or watching TV can help, just try not to think about everything stressful in your day. keep your mind open, and relax when you're faced with something you think you can't cope with. if it does get bad however, talk to your parents or a doctor, and tell your dad how you feel about being under constant stress and pressure. if they won't listen tell a teacher or your GP and they will point you in the right direction
