i'm glad the best therapy for me whenever i'm in depression is sleep.
Sleep, as i've read somewhere, is a period when we are unconscious and unaware of our surroundings, a period when our body is rested and get repaired. Yea, i'm an ostrich and burying my head deep in sleep or running away to some far away place is my way of escapism, escaping from things i do not want to think about. i thank God i've no inclination towards nicotine nor ecstasy nor barbiturates not valium nor alcohol when it comes to destressing or getting rid of the blues. Simply--good sleep, and i do not require any hypnotic music or baths or electronically induced therapies or essential oil or any of the 'S'-branded mattresses in order to fall asleep though the last would be a bonus.
i've slept on benches in a park, on seats at the bus stops and at foreign airports, on buses, on trains, on planes, on boats, on grasslands(in tents)....the type of bed does not deter me from falling asleep when i'm in need of it. And when i'm in an escapade mode, the usual noise and disturbances and bed bugs will not wake me up as these will be be shut out totally from my mind.
So, in an escapade mode i was yesterday. After arriving at the flat in the late afternoon, i immediately plunged myself onto the not-so-clean bed and fell into a deep slumber. i missed dinner and my bath totally and was unaware when my flatmate returned. i only woke up this morning, 16hrs since i've plunged onto my bed and if not for the appointment i've made with a friend, i would probably have continued to remain in slumberland.
i thank God for the rest, i did not recall any dreams and did not wake up with any headache as i sometimes would if i'd slept too much. In fact, i felt refreshed. i had good quality sleep.
The hurting in my heart did not subside but at least i don't feel as lethargic and depressed as i did the day before. The worse thing that can happen to a depressed or stressed out person is insomnia.
Thank GOD for sleep, good deep sleep.
