You have seen this black goop in my comics before. Sometimes it is tar, sometimes just stickiness of sleep...but it all is IH.
Now, I have made it into a monster of its own to try a form of therapeutic processing of this disability, this disorder.
I haven't named it yet...but here it is. My sticky but soft stalker, my conjoined twin, my tumor, my constant companion, my leech, my....Monster.
I know it will always be there, so let's make fun of it in the future? I'll blame it, talk to it when I am tired and speak to it to relent. Converse with it.
I will always tell it to fuck off, to let me do this one thing...and then we can bargain a nap, perhaps something sweet.
Do you have a monster too?
You are not alone.
Just remember not to feed it too much, you are not your tiredness. You are not your IH. You are a person underneath all the yawns and death-like days. You are you.
And you are amazing, wonderful, magical, great, even on your bad days you are worth it - no matter what your monster may say.
Take care folks, I'll do my best to have a new one next week with more of my monster in it. <3
Trying my hardest to cope with a rare neurological sleep disorder some people don't even believe exists and yet manages to ruin my life.
