Re: Addicted To Sleep And Dreaming? [Re: shroomzey]

I found this thread from a google search about being addicted to sleep. I know this is an old thread and all, but I was hoping you would be able to help.

You described exactly what I am going through. I'd also like to include that as the day progresses I plan more, become more hopeful, get more energy... but then I sleep and don't want to wake up. The night before I am excited about the things I will do tomorrow, but when my alarm goes off I hit snooze or turn it off b/c sleeping seems so important in that moment. A friend of mine is also going through the same thing and neither of us have been able to motivate ourselves or each other out of it.

Have you overcome your sleep addiction? What helped you do it? Did something change in your life?

You are very right about it being a self-reinforcing chain of events. Very hard to break.

I think it's hard for me to identify this as depression b/c it's different than the depression I had growing up. Back then it was dark, devastating, and painful. Now I feel okay for the most part, but I don't really feel like seeing people, going anywhere, etc.

Some nights I go to bed at a decent hour, set my alarm for 7 or 8 hours from when I lay down, and psych myself up for the next day. It's the moment of waking that I lose my hopefulness, desires, and excitement about the day- and nothing I tell myself is more powerful than wanting to go back to dreaming.

I know a big change would snap me back into a healthy lifestyle- but I feel that my current responsibilities and obligations are too great for me to do what I would really love to do. If I leave the place I've never liked and always felt stuck for the place I really long to be, I know I'd let too many people here down and/or create too many problems for others. I don't want them to clean up my mess, but I don't have the energy and motivation to fix every thing I need to fix.

blah. I guess that's really my issue in a nutshell. O_o

Family Guy said it best: "I'd be more apathetic if I weren't so lethargic."
