My illness and medications can cause a state of low energy wakefulness. I'm awake but, have no energy to do anything useful with it until I finally pass out for a good deal of the day. It make me feel useless and it is hard not to hate myself over it. Being creative helps.

I tend to judge my writing a bit harshly; I almost didn't post it but, I think it is not a bad effort considering I only had three hours of sleep.
