Welcome to Gaia! ::

College is good for throwing off the sleeping groove. I just started my last semester and got back from winter break on monday. Normally it wouldn't be so bad because my main class starts at 11am but another class I have to take just started and I have to be at school by 8:30 every morning... I miss sleeping in. crying Plus today we had a laboratory feild trip to a dairy farm so I was up 4:20ish this morning getting ready to deal with stinky cows. burning_eyes

On a note other than sleep. It seems most people I meet have more than one disorder. But they all seem to be really cool people, much more interesting than most. I myself have social phobia, PTSD, and depression. My social phobia is so bad that I don't even like calling my own friends on the phone. I don't mind talking to friends on the phone, I just won't call. Sadly it seems most of my 'friends' don't seem to understand this so they just b***h at me for never calling, which really peeves me off because a phone works both ways and I've seen all my friends dail out with no problem. If you really think I'm 'such a great freind' why can't you call me? I'll barely ever make that first call, only when I have to. And I avoid talking on a phone at all costs. It's seems stupid but if you were in my shoes it would be totally normal. Sorry for the rant, people are just dumb, I just can't stand people bitching at me for something that they don't do either. None of my friends ever call me so why should I bother to call them? Except the girls in my college class, they are awsome and accually understand me. And a few, select others.

You are one of those 'select few' I mentioned. I'm talking about Fuzz, my cousin, Lauren, Sara, Starlite, Sani and a couple others. Almost every time I see Fuzz he says something like 'Don't be a stranger, call me' or 'You never call'. Or my cousin will send me a message on line saying I need to call when she knows what time I get out of school and could easily call me. People seem to have forgotten the fact that a phone works both ways. I just got sick of having to dail out when they could do it much easier than me considering not one of those people I listed has social phobia, at least that I know of.

Thats sucky. I know how it feels though, I had a sleep problem for a few years. I would stay up all night and barely ever sleep until I started living with my boyfriend. If it wasn't for him I'd probley still have a funky sleeping problem. The doctors did give me sleeping pills at one point but I hate taking pills. The long term effects on the body suck.

I hate that. My freind has insomnia. He looks like a zombie sometimes. I also knew a guy who gave himself insomnia by trying to stay up all night and day, every night. He didn't use any drugs, except pot but you'd think would make him sleep rolleyes , and he truely believed that one day he'd not need to sleep ever excpet for like 12-24 hours out of a week or two and he thought he'd become more productive by having more time. I tried to stress the fact that lack of sleep could kill you but he refused to believe it. Me and my boyfriend would hang out with him for hours watching movies and listening to music and we'd do that almost nightly except every 7-8 days he'd crash and sleep for 2 or 3 days straight. I used to worry that he'd just die one day and we wouldn't know it because we'd just think he was sleeping again. He moved 2 years ago. I wonder what happened to him and his crazy sleeping habits. neutral
