In reply to Sleep--too much of a good thing?, posted by Noa on September 4, 1999, at 18:47:56
I sleep too much when I am depressed, when I notice I'm doing that it's a clear sign that trouble's heading my way. But then there is this 'other' sleep too much. This happens when I have to deal with something, and the anticipation makes me anxious... You know, the space which I call 'The only way out of the burning house is through the fire.'
I find that regardless how mush I sleep, it am so tired when I should get ready to jump in the fire, that it is almost impossible to get up. LIke when I'm without a job and I kknow that I must go out and get one, etc.
I've heard that we create the ways we deal with anxiety, enforcing them a little at the time. Seems like I have trained myself to cope by simply not dealing with things to the point of being unconscious. This is just how I feel about myself, I posted it just in case anyone might relate.
