I'm currently sitting in an airport after just getting back from Seattle. I had an interview for an internship with Microsoft. It was proably one of the best experiences of my life. Alone, in a big city, everything paid for, you couldn't beat it. Leading up to it, though, and after it I have had some of the worst thoughts, doubtfulness, strife, pain, and headaches that I have ever felt. I couldn't concentrate when reading, my appetite was way out of wack, and I really couldn't sleep at night. I haven't been able to sleep at night for a while now, perhaps a few months, and I'm tired of it. I lay there and toss and turn, and even when I do sleep I don't feel refreshed like I used to, or a refreshed feeling lasts only for a few minutes after I wake up. It's a little scary to think that this crept up on me without me even noticing.
I trailed away a little there, sorry about that. Anyway, I always like to leave "red-eye" when I go on trips. I'm only 19, this is only the second time I've ever flown, but I quite like red eye. Because I made the decision to do that, I'm inadvertently pulling an all-nighter. I hope it works out.
- hiddencost 10y agoI've found that all nighter euphoria kicks in around 30 hours. It's nice as a momentary reprieve, and gives you a notion that you can feel different, which gives you motivation to get better. But if you're legit suffering from major depressive disorder it still takes years of hard work. On the other hand, if you're experiencing acute anxiety, this approach ends up hurting more than it helps. Try meditation, yoga, massage, muscle relaxation, exercise. Pretty much anything that gets you more in touch with your body.
