I'm having one of those nights where no matter what I do I can't sleep. But I REALLY want to. It's been a stressful day--and I'm not even sure why. It is just one of those days where my emotions are right on the edge for no real reason at all; but because they are I've been letting little things (and some bigger ones) get to me all day long.
Unfortunately when things "get to me" I tend dwell on them for a long time and, as a result, I find myself lying awake at 1:00am, still processing everything that bothered me today. This processing includes everything from trying to interpret what so-and-so meant when they said something, to imagining conversations that will probably never happen, to creating to-do lists in my head for the next day. Mixed in with all that there is also a lot of trying to convince my brain to STOP doing all those things. *sigh*
Life is confusing right now, and I'm a worrier to begin with, so this has been happening to me a lot lately. I'm burned out. I'm discouraged. I need a break and I need a change but at the moment I can't seem to get either one.
But most of all I really need some sleep.
