      I get that alot these days, too...
      I just turn over and go back to sleep...
      blah blahs.
      I remember when I was younger and the only
      time I stayed in bed past 11 was during
      frigid winter mornings - otherwise I'd pounce on the day...

      now....
      eh? wake up? why? do I have something to do today?
      something I *HAFTA* do? blah.
      Give me my rockstar or leave me alone!

      Bed...what a wonderful invention!
      comfy, warm, inviting...
      verrry addictive!
      not unlike velcro!

        I'm still going strong,
        But I'm crying allll the time through it.
        Just weeping.
        I can go an hour or two, then something sets it

        Dunno. It's stressful in this body, but I want to take it.

        Is there such a thing of masochism through determination to live?
        uhg.

          I was watching an old PBS show featuring Joseph Campbell, an academic steeped in history, religion and myth. You've reminded me of something he said.
          Put into my own words:
          Each weekend the lawn is mowed. Just imagine if the grass, after being cut, said,"oh what's the use!"
          There's something about being alive. The 1st time I wanted to die I was 9 years old and I've had suicidal thoughts ever since along with depression and PTSD and diabetes and asthma and sleep apnea and broken bones and toothaches and food poisoning and hangovers and drug addiction and loss of loved ones and saleepless nights and being flat broke and having friends turn on me and...
          YOU KNOW WHAT?
          I'M STILL HERE!
          So I just figure that as much of me that wants to be dead there's even more of me that wants to live.
          Short answer: no I don't think it's masochistic, just human.
          Hang in there friend.

            Doing the same I guess...

            Trying to put on a happy/cheerful face at work... sometimes it's so hard. I think it's becoming more noticeable that I'm 'fake happy' when I'm at work.

            Someone asked me today if I'm feeling OK. My response.... allergies.
