...See more Hi everyone! I am looking for a listener to talk to daily to help motivate me and help me work on my goals. It won't be particularly long conversations everyday, just checkups mostly.

Someone to talk to regularly

...See more Hey there all! I was wondering if there were any listeners out there who would want to talk on a regular basis? Like maybe once a week? I have recently begun to learn about attachment theory and I have realized my attachment style is really bad. I want to improve my relationships with people as I know I drive people away and hurt them so I want to work on these skills with someone who I haven't hurt. Anyone interested?

...See more I don't know how to completely explain it but it's sort of like I'm addicted to insomnia. It started when I was younger (about 13) and I was really struggling socially at school and my family was just a mess and I sort of used it to numb myself because at 3 in the morning you don't really care about anything anymore because you are so tired. I don't really have problems sleeping if I go to bed at a decent time, so I don't technically have insomnia. I have gotten a plan together to deal with this problem for the last 5 months which involves a very rigid schedule of reading and tidying up my room and no electronics- I even set an alarm to time myself! But recently I have been struggling with sticking to that. I got really into coding and I have been staying up way too late doing that for about a week now. It makes me really happy but I know the lack of sleep really affects me. It makes my anxiety and depression more prominent and I just feel really off because of it. Plus, when I don't sleep well, I am more apt to waste the day away taking naps. Today was honestly the worst as I stayed up to 8 am and spent the rest of the morning just sleeping. I am unemployed right now unfortunately but I don't want to have a messed up sleep and wake cycle all the same. I don't know if anyone else in this community had this problem, but I feel like I need to just reach out a bit and get some support for this problem.
