Insomnia

I really hate those nights where you just can't feel the peace you need to fall asleep. Here it is almost 2:30am and I'm restless. Maybe it would be a good time to torch? Knowing me, I'd probably then fall asleep as I was in the middle of melting glass and that wouldn't be a good thing. Instead, after 2 hours of fighting to fall asleep, I decided to come here and write.

Did you know that typing does wonders for an anxious mind? Anxiety needs all your focus. If you don't give it all, you can't be anxious. Have you ever noticed that you can't laugh when your crying, you can't be angry when you're in pain, you can't be anxious during those times either. You can't share two emotions at once. Alot of people that have anxiety have a rubber band around their wrist. Why? So when they start getting anxious feelings they can snap it. The pain from that shifts the mind to it and off of the anxiety. Sometime that is all a person needs to "Snap out of it" so to speak. Typing is the same way. Your mind is focusing on writing and concentrating on the keys you press so it distracts your mind from the anxiety.

When you really think about it, this is what life is. Distractions! Everyone does something else so they don't have to  think about the things they really don't want to. A bad thought enters the mind and off you go to do something to keep your mind busy. Some people count, some clean house, and me, well I just type. Like I said, sometimes it's all you need.

Now I am going to try and sleep again :-)
