Absolutely not. I’m dealing with sudden onset insomnia from a new antidepressant I just started 2 months ago. One that I started in the first place in an attempt to become financially independent and not have to rely on my dad for help.
In regards to my comment about living with my dad forever, I was entirely joking, hence the “lol.” Sorry if that wasn’t clear to you. I do not intend on living with my dad forever, despite my insomnia and mental issues, which is why I’m desperately trying to remedy all of my various issues now. This is also why I’m forcing myself to complete my degree and then get a job afterwards.
However, let’s just say I don’t remedy these issues in time for my graduation, I’d still force myself to get a job regardless and try my best at it. I love my dad (he’s all I have) and would never intentionally burden him financially.
I posted this to get tips from those who suffer from insomnia like I do so I am more prepared to deal with the challenges I will face once I have to start working next January (once I graduate). I’m looking for insight in an attempt to make things easier for myself when the time comes. I never planned on using this as an excuse to not look for a job, if that’s why you’ve gotten from my posts. I posted this because I’m scared I’ll get fired due to not performing adequately due to sleep deprivation.
Also, just a note, my dad agreed (and actually stresses) that I do not have to work as long as I’m in school. He’s literally said multiple times that he wants me to focus on my school work because that’s more important to him. I’m currently completing a master’s degree that is required for the job I have secured. This requires a lot of effort on my part because of the mental health issues I deal with (and now the insomnia). If I had to work and complete a degree simultaneously while dealing with the psych issues, I would have likely had to drop out of school. That would have been much worse for my dad since he has always stressed college education for his children.
Anyways, sorry for the novel. Don’t want people thinking I’m a leech. Take care.
