Ok, on the surface, I'm a generally sociable, reasonably successful student at a good university with a loving family and great boyfriend.
The problem, is that for the past few months, I've been losing all motivation and am simply wasting away with consistent self-destructive behaviour and I don't know how to get out of the rut I am in.
The main issue is that I'm not sleeping enough. This sounds like nothing compared to the excessive drinking/drugs/eating disorders which plagues other students' lives, but it's having a serious impact on my life.
I am constantly tired, find it difficult to keep up with lectures, struggle to remember basic concepts which should be second-nature, the quality of my writing has plummeted and I feel too lethargic to do anything productive. To top it off, I look completely wrecked as well.
I don't have trouble sleeping - I can always drop off within minutes of my head hitting the pillow - the difficultly I have is in getting into bed in the first place. I just find myself doing completely pointless things to avoid going to bed and then get annoyed with myself when I realise that it's four or five in the morning again and I have to get up in a few hours.
Can anyone think of ways to help me stop being so ****** stupid and sort my life out?
