    Sleep every day to avoid this. You can’t outsmart your body with staying up as long as you can. The best thing to do is sleep a healthy and normal amount every day. You’re a big girl, you know how your health works.

      yea, i know, i know… but, like, i’m already knee deep in the shit now, and if i try to suddenly start sleeping like a normal person, i’m just going to crash and kill myself. if i get depressed again, it’s game over. i’m not going to live through another period of psychic torture. so, i just have to do everything i can to avoid crashing…

          yea, i know, but by not sleeping i might at least be able to delay the crash a bit. if i go to bed, i think i’ll just crash immediately :(

            You SHOULD be sleeping nightly and well so you’re mentally and physically healthier! The last time you didn’t sleep, the blowback came in the form of severe migraines.

              i know, but even when i’ve managed to maintain good sleep hygiene, i’ve just ended up crashing and having it all ruined, anyway. and, like, that won’t help me prevent a depressive episode right now; if i sleep, i’m going to crash, so i just can’t go to sleep yet.

                If you don’t sleep, you will crash sooner and you will hurt. You’re just making the tab bigger.

                  if i do go to sleep, i’ll probably crash immediately… and, like, yea, i’m making the tab bigger, but at least i might be able to squeeze a few more days out before i have to pay :ı

                    Better to sleep. You may not actually even crash. Or at least, it will be a lot less bad.
