Worries of a hypochondriac

Have you ever gone to bed wondering if you’re going to wake up in the morning?

One of the side effects of letting every little injury drive you mentally insane is that once in a while, late at night when you’re really tired, you sit in bed wondering if you’re going to die in your sleep of some weird shutdown procedure.

This absurd feeling has happened once before, and of course I woke up fine in the morning and laughed at my ridiculous self. But in the meantime, it’s no fun at all. It’s fear and it’s not fricking rational.

UPDATE: I’m up now, and I can laugh at myself. Hurray!
