Last night I went to sleep, and once more I started thinking about stuff that made my heart sink with worry. This happens pretty much every night; the moment my head touches the pillow, it starts thinking like a machine on overdrive and this is what keeps me awake for hours.
So I thought, I always think about stuff that make me worry, maybe I should try to think about something relaxing in order to sleep. Then I realized that no such thing exists. There is absolutely nothing in my life that would make me relax. Every last thing I see or do during every day contains worries.
This site and real life? Worried about other people's problems and about things I see as wrong but almost no one else does. Gaming? Worried that I spend too much time doing that. Friends and "friends"? Worried that I might not be a good enough friend to them or that they may not even want to be friends to me. Time? Worried that I let too much of it go. Changing something, anything? Worried that if I tried I'd make myself worse rather than better.
The list could go on forever... I'm not really sure why I wrote all that, but I felt I had to because it's something that makes me worry (argh). Sorry.

Not much help i know, but i didnt really know what to say
I read once that to you sleep well, you should have no worries...
You have to start thinking on that stuff when you are pretty awake... write about it... (it helps here)
What about the ones that born in tuesdays?
I just forget about stuff :x I'm too forgetfull (I don't know how they write it, sorry), but it's not on purpose, so I guess this is not realy a big help :x
i worry about the world and its people ...all the shit and death and disaster and hunger ...i never worry about me and my life.
it's always the big stuff i have no control over but ...i find prayer helps.
Actually I do that too sometimes, if I think I might make someone laugh. But it doesn't help any with the worries.
And I was born on a Monday.
I do worry about myself as well as others, and I don't usually worry about non-specific things. For example, if you tell me "millions of people out there are starving to death" it will make me sad, but not like I have described. But if you tell me about a specific person who starves, or if I meet that person, so I will first-hand know even some of their thoughts, then I will be worried.
3 hours sleep last night I got. There is no other kind of frustration than the frustration I get when I can't get some fucking shuteye. ;[
