I can't sleep
My mind is going a thousand miles an hour. I keep thinking about all the stuff I have to do. I am in year 6 (!) of being a part-time grad student and I don't know if I can finish. I want to, but every time I sit down to work, I find myself paralyzed with inaction. I look for any excuse not to do my work: laundry, chores, errands, whatever. In addition, I have no confidence. None. Nobody ever realizes this but I have never had confidence in myself, despite getting almost all As in school. I just don't know what to do. I can't seem to shut my mind off in order to sleep. I know that things usually look brighter in the morning. I seem to get the middle of the night crazies a lot though because I worry about EVERYTHING. If I said this out loud, it would sound crazy. So I am typing on the internet. Somehow it helps.

1. Look at is this way
You should have confidence, you are in Grad school which pretty much means you have accomplished something a lot of people have never done. On top of all that, you are juggling a home and school..Thats pretty impressive...You should have confidence, you are doing well....

Perhaps 1-3mg Melatonin at bedtime tonight? :boring: for me, anyway. Except tonight, anyway.
