I don't sleep because it feels like I have no time for myself during the day.

Unfortunately, they're both lies. They let us wallow in our misery. I know this, but often cannot put it aside myself.

Ooomph I feel this in my bones. Any advice on ways to help break the cycle?

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

We need help to keep us from giving in to the easy excuses. Finding that help is tough, so we might have to "tough it out" on one side to give us reason to quiet the other.

Obviously easier said than done

Yeah, saving this thread to maybe find some solution

Probably it's about avoiding drugs and stress at night, and do some sport...
