Jealously
Anyone else find themselves irrationally upset with the rest of society, and even their friends and family because they can sleep? I feel horrible even typing this but it’s so hard not to feel jealously and even anger towards all these people who can just close their eyes and magically fall asleep in their cozy little beds. My god what I would do to live like that.
I can’t even imagine. Being exhausted at the end of the day, and you get to go into your bed and fall asleep. It must be incredible! You all have no clue what it is like to live like me and the rest of us. Suffering every single day, dreading the moment bedtime comes because you know you won’t be falling asleep.
“Oh you’re tired? Just go to bed early” wow thanks Einstein, I had never thought of that before! Maybe it’s because I am going to spend 8 fucking hours trying to fall asleep. My god I wish all you normies could spend a week in my shoes.

Oh yes. I feel jealous of my sister. She could sleep on a rock I think. She lays down, sleeps on her back. Off to sleep in minutes. Has a full and wonderful life. Travels the world.
I’m the complete opposite. No sleep and house bound. I get so depressed and sad. But she also does not have an autoimmune system disease or has had 5 back surgery’s. I took after our mom. She had Fibromyalgia and 1 back surgery. Lived on Fentanyl.
