Reason for poor sleep

[jchrisobrien]

Long stressed out dream, met some friends with a really cute girl, they were off to an e party with some other people who decidedly didn't want me there (fuckers), fortunately, my friends and the cute girl blew them off to hang with me. We sat and watched the stars fall, then noticed some of them were falling up. (I've had dreams like this before, I know where this is leading) Then there was a flash, and a mushroom cloud on the horizon. I could see the shock wave coming... (who the hell has dreams about nuclear war this long after the cold war's ended?) I turned from it, and all was well. The dream ends with my getting ready to run a mage game, which about 25 people show up for. How many people did I invite to this anyway? It devolves into a big party, with people generally acting obnoxious. I throw the book up in disgust... and wake up. Early. With my damn lip aching and cracking.

Oh well, things could be worse. I'll keep telling myself that. We'll see if it makes things better. Wouldn't that be nice if that was the case? If just know that other people are going through worse things than you could make your bad mood go away, I'd just collect newspaper articles and clippings about people who've suffered horrible tragedies, and read them so I could feel better about my situation. "See? Things aren't so bad." Damn, that's pretty sick.

knowing other people are having a miserable run of things (or someone saying i don't have it that bad, at least i'm not ---) usually just makes things worse. if everyone's miserable, there's no light to look towards. and then i feel awful that i'm complaining so much over my insignificant little problems while there are people starving in africa. i get more depressed knowing my friends are all depressed and i'm in no shape to help them.
