I wish I could sleep my life away. I have no life, all I do is go to work and come home. I have no money or friends to do anything with. I hate my life.
I wish I could just sleep all the time so I don't have to suffer so much,
But I get horrible dreams when I sleep so even that doesn't help much.

I have no life too. I sleep a LOT. It makes me feel guilty. I wish I could work.

I absolutely hate working. Why is it that the people who want to don't have to and the people who hate it are forced to do it? Life is so unfair.

Me too! I actually do sleep my life away.. My days are either Work or School then sleep! Depression just DRAINS you, and takes away any motivation.

My meds used to make me super sleepy to the point where I slept 15 hours a day....now those were the days. I miss that.

When I CAN sleep, I sleep far too long. I've lost so much time to depression and sleep; time I will be very lucky to redeem, if I can at all. The sleep thing can be a blessing or a curse, it seems.

I am dying to get back to work. At this point in my life, I know it would help me a great deal.

Perhaps, it is where you work?, and not just working itself that is really bugging you? All that subliminal aggravation can add up.

VERY FEW people actually get to do what they dreamt of doing when they were younger. Life is very unfair, and often very hard, you're right.

I know my plans for my life have been destroyed a few times over. I now consider it a major accomplishment just to be alive, and walking and talking, and functioning at all.

Hugs, hon. OOX I understand how you're feeling.

Sleep is a guilty pleasure. When we sleep, "we" ceast to exist, and simply fold into the MCP, God almighty, the Alpha and the Omega, whatever you want to call it. I like to sleep.

The fact that you're having horrible nightmares, however, raises concern. What are your waking fears, that manifest themselves in your dreams? And is there any way to face down those demons, awake or in dreams?
