Sorry I didn't post last week, I was experiencing this to the maximum capacity and could not get a single thought out of my brain beyond "I do not want to sleep!"...and it was hard to see through the tears.

But this is common thing to you, if you have IH, isn't it? Being so deep in sleep inertia (also known as sleep drunkness) that all you can do is feel the time pass you as you battle the sleep, barely able to brush your teeth, and just...feeling that that's the day.

IH made me lose that day. And the day after was not great either...but I try to remind myself that those super brain foggy, angry, emotional, painful days are survivable.

After all, I have survived every single one of them since my childhood and I used to have this kind of mornings every single day from age 10 to the first time I got medication at 22, four months before turning 23, on Christmas.

If you are having one of these days right now and can barely read this: I believe in you. You can do this. I feel your pain in my bones and my heart hurts for you.

You are not alone. I swear you are not. You are one of many.

And this too, is survivable.

I'll see you again next week with a new character I hope you will like despite....well, you'll see.
