Third night of getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Only got five hours of sleep and I have to go to work π probably because I drank coffee at like 2pm yesterday and used a giant PC.

So good! How did you get that gig?
First day of freedom (for two weeks) and I played video games on a PC with a friend. Turns out cybersickness is a thing. I felt like throwing up. But besides that, it was kinda fun.
The anxiety hasn't completely gone away because of failing, and just worrying about my future, but I think the more I do stuff, the more I will be in the present.
So I'm finally done with the uni stuff for two weeks. I will have to find out what's going to happen with the failed subjects. Might have to go to uni for an extra year which I'm not loving, but I feel like this is the only way for career progression, unless I do a trade. That's unfortunately not happening because I'm not very mechanically gifted. But I'm going to stop worrying about what my life will be like in ten years time because I will trust that whatever happens, happens.
Yay sleep clinic! Good luck, it will get better :)
I don't want to be one of those people, but have you tried sleep restriction? I'm not sure if it's cognitive or biological or a mix of both in your case, but what about CBT-I?

Slept at 5am. Yikes.

I kept hearing this noise at night and I thought it was the sound of some electrical thing outside. I have confirmed it's a possum. Sounds like me screaming with no high pitched noise.
My dad was great for putting up a pergola outside, but the possums love running up it.
So cool! Can I ask where the lights are from?

family shit
My mum does this thing with my sister where she brings up a problem she has way after the fact. It makes my sister feel terrible.My sister, a week ago, who has her own place but comes to visit on the weekends: Mum, I'm going to dog sit for a friend this weekend so I'll be staying over at hers
Mum: OK
My mum today: we have a dog here and you're going to sit someone else's dog? I can't even go away and have a weekend for myself because I have to watch him. He doesn't even want to go for a walk more than 100 metres!
Sister starts feeling guilty and anxious and has a panic attack. I get that my mum is sick of having to look after the dog and is annoyed, but my sister told her she was going to dogsit a week ago, and my mum said nothing about going away this weekend.
I thought my emotional regulation problems were just an innate thing, although I reckon if my parents could regulate their emotions and communicate better, it would've been a bit easier on my end.
My mum grew up in a household where her parents fought and her mum in particular cannot regulate her emotions and often goes from 0 to 100 in an instant. If this woman says anything and you disagree, she throws a fit. She has no self-awareness whatsoever.
But I hope that if I ever have kids, I break this cycle. It's not on.
