What are the thoughts that keep you awake at night? [I Am Sleepless Tonight]

I get severe anxiety at night. Am I doing enough? Am I taking care of myself enough? Who is going to help if something happens? Am I saving enough? On and on. My brain spirals at night.

And yes - I purposefully commented on an older post 🤣

Usually my loneliness, fear that I’m going to be alone forever, wondering what is wrong with me that I can’t find anyone who wants to be with me, even casually. So I guess a combination of sadness about the present and lack of hope for the future.

The future, the unknown, the fear I'll never make my dreams come true

Can democracy survive the current situation?

Can we reverse climate change before the destruction is irreversible?

Do I have enough time left to actually accomplish any of my remaining goals in life?

Will I actually be able to make it to retirement, and once there, will I be able to enjoy it?

What will be the next crisis that descends upon my wife, and will we be able to get through it this time?

Can we keep the car running all right, and if not, can we afford to buy a new one?

Can we continue to maintain the house and grounds we have, or should we actually downsize like the wife wants?

That's a start, anyway.

We survived the past. But that time has gone.
Whatever the loves or hates of it.

The present feels like a rollercoaster. Lots of movement up and down with the occasional twist in a direction we hadn’t counted on.

The future. Now that’s the scary bit !

Thankfully , none

The future. I doubt I'll be ready for it.

It's generally just a jumbled mess of stuff, from that day or three years ago to the what if's of tomorrow.

All the stupid things I’ve done and said.

The past. Fear all that's happened in the past is set in stone for my future.

Just regular ole insomnia keeps me up

Who shot biggie and Tupac

Funny enough, what keeps me awake is the unknowns of my pasts. The "whys" and the "what ifs"... Although I seldom lose my sleep, tbh...

My daughter, my family. My job.

I'm an insomniac. Every thought keeps me awake.

The future brings the most dread right now. Things are falling apart, and I don’t know where we’ll all land. 😞

How do they fit all that cream filling in the center of the double stuffed Oreos? And why can't the make double stuffed mint chocolate chip ice cream oreo cookies?

My horrible life choices and failed relationships. If this relationship is going to be another one down the drain. Then I start wondering if the problem is me since I've been engaged twice and can't find a decent guy.

The present troubles me more than past or future. The constant troublesome thought that I could be doing more with my time. I could be holding myself to a higher standard.
