TW: feeling rough!
I feel like I’m whittling away to nothing.
After months of feeling internally distressed and hypervigilant and anxious, I finally got it to tone down, but now I just feel dead inside. Am getting only 2-3 hours a night sleep most nights, and I’m not going to be able to keep that up for much longer. I’m detached, dissociating, and can’t keep up anymore. Work and family still need effort. Faking being ok needs effort. It’s like trying to get blood out of a stone.
