I wake up very early. The day seems like a never-ending and insurmountable obstacle. I find it hard to gather my thoughts, and even harder to pull myself together and make decisions. Everything I should have done has piled up, while the things I have done until today have been superficial and half-hearted.

If only I could sleep through it all. Lie unconscious in a void where nothing means anything. Where I have no responsibilities what so ever. If only I could cry, that might help, but no tears come. I really hate feeling sorry for myself like this, this attempt to arouse pity. It's perfectly clear that I don't deserve anything and that the world would be better off without me.

Remember you may not feel this way, some people sleep constantly or cry all the time, we are all different.
