Sketches of a Bipolar Girl: The Midnight Rider

 


Well, it's 3 am, and here I am again.  This has been going on for month or so now.  I fall asleep around midnight, and wake up 3 hours later.  Sometimes, it's because I have to pee.  Other times, I don't know why.  

I've had a lot of anxiety lately.  It's mostly due to my money problems.  But it also has to do with Kevin.  Not that there's anything wrong with us, at least I don't think there is.  I'm worried that I'm being played.  But those feelings, I know, are coming from my insecurities about myself.

That's when the grief hits me again, because I really need to talk to my mom about this stuff.  She knew me better than I know myself.  Now, all I have to talk to is the half gallon of ice cream and hot fudge sauce.  Yes, that's right, I'm binge eating again, and let me tell you, I feel like crap.

I haven't eaten anything good this whole weekend. I also, haven't had a good night sleep.  I'm sure the two are related.  So, I guess I have answered my own question about why I can't sleep.  I'm having anxiety.  I have to burn it off somehow.  

Erica and I were talking yesterday, and I happened to mention how much I loved watercolors and how I wish I could paint.  She asked me why I just didn't do it?  This left me pondering as to why I didn't try it.  It all comes down to my perfectionism.  Intellectually, I know that art is a form of expression.  There is no perfection.  But, as usual, when it comes to anything I do, it must be perfect.  

With all that being said, I will put water color paints, brushes, and paper on my list of things to buy.  I will dabble in watercolor.  Anyhoo, that's all for tonight.  I'm paying for all that hot fudge. I've got the trots.
