Sleep

Stress
Life
Living
Love

I can’t keep my focus on anything. My thoughts are scattered and my attention span is rapidly disappearing. Things that used to keep my interest for days no longer spark me. I make plans and see them out but only because I have to. I stay in bed all day otherwise. What’s the point of not?

Promise
Denial
Hope
Regret

It feels like I sit next to a stranger every night. We smile and nod and one another’s daily antics. “How was work?” “ How were the girls?” “Good” “fine”. Then we say good night and retreat to our separate rooms.

Want
Need
Have
Don’t

I try to fill my life with things. Things that I covet. Things I tell myself I need. Things that I lose interest in immediately. Headphones, clothes, games, stupid things that I was never able to have. They make me hate myself. I do hate myself for being so superficial when it comes to possessions.

Like a person

I don't really feel like a person the past few days. I'm over tired without a good reason. I stay up too late and sleep too much. I have a theory that every now and then I have to "rest" by that I mean stay up for 24 hours to get my sleep schedule back to normal.

I stopped eating dairy a few weeks ago and I've either lost 10 or 15lbs. I can't remember how much I weighed last. I imagine if I stopped drinking sodas and beer I'd probably lose 30lbs.

Wednesday morning 3:43am

I don't know what day it is most days. I don't think I really care either. My days are all the same. I get up I take care of the kids, and I sit in y self pity for the day. I count down the time until nap time like some people count down the hours until they leave work. I know that if I'm asleep I don't have to deal with anything. I don't want to deal with anything. I'm losing interest in everything. Books, music, friends and family. I just can't be bothered. It's depression, I know that much. I take medicine for it, lots of medicine. It doesn't make me feel any better or any worse. It doesn't make me feel anything. I don't feel hopeless or anything like that, I just don't feel anything. I'm stuck in the mud with no desire to get out, it's almost as if I enjoy it. I don't I really don't. Im just overwhelmed by the thought of not being in the mud.

Something more

I'm 33. I'm a stay at home dad. I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I've always thought I've been kinda good and several things but really good at anything. What I mean is I've tried lots of things, I welded, I've had 2 successful art shows, I've had articles published on websites. But I wouldn't call myself a welder, an artist or a writer. I would call myself a father, and a husband. But I don't think that defines me. I'm having some kind of identity crisis. I'm looking for something that I can't get. Maybe I should be content with my role as a father and husband but I want something more.
