Third night of getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Only got five hours of sleep and I have to go to work 😭 probably because I drank coffee at like 2pm yesterday and used a giant PC.

So good! How did you get that gig?

First day of freedom (for two weeks) and I played video games on a PC with a friend. Turns out cybersickness is a thing. I felt like throwing up. But besides that, it was kinda fun.

The anxiety hasn't completely gone away because of failing, and just worrying about my future, but I think the more I do stuff, the more I will be in the present.

So I'm finally done with the uni stuff for two weeks. I will have to find out what's going to happen with the failed subjects. Might have to go to uni for an extra year which I'm not loving, but I feel like this is the only way for career progression, unless I do a trade. That's unfortunately not happening because I'm not very mechanically gifted. But I'm going to stop worrying about what my life will be like in ten years time because I will trust that whatever happens, happens.

Yay sleep clinic! Good luck, it will get better :)

I don't want to be one of those people, but have you tried sleep restriction? I'm not sure if it's cognitive or biological or a mix of both in your case, but what about CBT-I?

Slept at 5am. Yikes.

I kept hearing this noise at night and I thought it was the sound of some electrical thing outside. I have confirmed it's a possum. Sounds like me screaming with no high pitched noise.

My dad was great for putting up a pergola outside, but the possums love running up it.

So cool! Can I ask where the lights are from?

I see you're also AuDHD. Have you found anything that's effective?

I think I'd prefer to avoid benzos, but thanks for the suggestion. I think much of the anxiety will dissipate when the academic stress is gone.

I did this with OneNote. I have different sections for references, behaviour management, teaching ideas for different subjects, feedback given.

We can only hope. And I'm worried about sleep too, vyvanse kept me awake for far too long.

I have a psychiatry appointment booked in for August! Pretty far away, but it is what it is. I shall bring up these concerns with them.

Wow. That's a really big difference. Good on you.

I'll get onto it. Hopefully there's something out there that's not going to kill my heart and worsen my anxiety.

Trampolines?
