So this has happened over the course of the past week/month I'll save the sad details and just preface this with, I've recently moved into my own place for the first time and have not been doing well at all. I minimally sleep every night, some nights not at all. I also rarely eat. But this past week has been the worst by far. I average 1-2 hours of sleep a night if any, and thus have been extremely exhausted and practically half asleep all day everyday. I still barely eat.

Because I've been so tired and without energy, I've been making stupid mistakes and accidents. First it was leaving things where they do not belong. A bag of m&ms on a microwave oven that was on, they melted. Putting medicine in the fridge (not refrigerated medicine), leaving my phone in the freezer. But then it progressed to things like leaning back without taking my phone out of my pocket at work causing phone fall out and smash onto the floor breaking the screen.

Now onto today's fuckups.

I usually put drinks and such on the side table beside my couch. But, I did not today. Today I put it right on the floor, next to it. This is because I have a sectional and the lounge part that comes out does not have an area to put drinks. I've done this a few times before and was careful and didn't have any issue. Well today I decided to have a soda, opened it up and took a sip and placed it on the floor. Then sat down and immediately proceeded to hit it with the end of my blanket by accident and thus potentially ruining my favorite blanket, it's white also. It was cherry coke.

So used stain remover and spent an hour trying to clean it up. Failed, and now there is still a spot there.

The fuck up that made me create this post After cleaning up the soda for an hour I wanted to just, be at peace for a bit. So I decided to use my Yocan Orbit wax vape to have some concentrates. I got out some sojay haze butter. And put it in the crucible thing and then... Looked up and my hair pulled. I was like, wah. My hair is decently long but it usually does not catch on things. I have a lot of fine type hair though so if it does catch on something its an immediate sharp pain. And then immediately realized. I had somehow gotten concentrates mixed into my hair and even some of my hair stuck in the very sticky crucible.

So, I got very carefully (and painfully) pulled my hair away from the crucible and got up again. Checking first to make sure I didn't have another drink at my feet. Then went over to the sink and tried desperately to wash it out with water. It did not want to come out AT ALL. So I went to the bathroom thought, if olaplex cannot get this out. Nothing can. And for any of you that do not know, olaplex is a very concentrated shampoo/conditioner that you typically only need to use a little of because it's so strong. (Seriously an 8.5oz bottle lasts me 3-4 months) It's what they use in many salons

So I lathered the areas with concentrates in them with olaplex. And it still barely wanted to come out. But thing is, now my everything was sticky with concentrates, but some things like the counter were super slippy cuz of the shampoo. So I'm there at the sink looking like I'm dancing trying not to slide, looking like I'm at an ice skating rink while trying to scrub my hair.

It took me 3 olaplex shampoos to get it all out. Letting it soak for a. It in the olaplex seemed to help a bit.

After I finally got it out, I went to to to blow dry my hair, forgot that I had finally regained my footing in spots that were not slippy. I took one step and almost bashed my face on the counter as I did what I can only guess looked like a very cartoonist fall onto the floor.

I sat there and contemplated life for a few minutes. I now sit here with my hair successfully blow dried. My wax pen in front of me and I'm too scared to do anything because I feel like I have a better chance of having a piano fall onto me from the sky than nothing else going wrong.

TL;DR : Did not sleep much for a month causing me to be so tired that I cause several things to happen and getting weed concentrates accidentally mixed into my hair

Lack of sleep + high-grade marijuana is an excellent recipe for making bad things worse. All things considered, sounds like abstaining for a good while might be in your best interest.

I remember all the bad habits and worse decisions I made when I did this (at 19) and also about how it was a learning experience in developing self-discipline.

Other things I learned were "don't heat anodize titanium in your kitchen over winter break when your college's metal shop is closed, because you will 100% get metal fume poisoning" and "you have class and work tomorrow and playing World of Warcraft until 3am will not help with that"

Please sleep more, brother. Lack of sleep is related to serious chronic health problems

Ah yes. The good times of the first few months away from parents.

I wonder if roommates or parents kicked OP out, and how they earn enough to afford the place if they are high or half asleep all the time. Maybe see a counselor, cognitive behavioral psychologist, psychiatrist, or check into rehab.

Not kicked out. Never lived with roommates. However am autistic and parents wanted me to try to live on my own. My job pays well. I'm sort of the picture perfect "rich person that stumbles through life and does whatever" type person. Only, I'm not rich. I live comfortably though. And things definitely aren't perfect.

I've seen a psychologist like that. Discovered a lot, one thing being that I have a measured mental age of 7-11 years old. Despite being much over 10 years older than that. Simplified, means in many aspects of life, I view it and go through it as if I'm 7-11 years old. Discovered other things as well but this always makes so much sense given how I am. Going to see a psychiatrist/counselor soon. Curious how that will go

It's amazing I function at all in day to day life on my own but I stumble through and people around me sortve just make it happen if I fall short, it's like magic o.O

I know I'm very lucky, but I try my best.

I’m concerned for your well being. How do you stay awake all day? Coffee? Other meds?

Olaplex makes a shampoo and conditioner. It's what they use to WASH your hair at salons. Im not referring to the other olaplex products though I do love all of them and have used most olaplex products. Even though I already have wonderful hair, I still occasionally use the repair products and I get constant compliments on my hair, everyday, pretty much wherever I go. My stylist says she loves working on my hair because I take such good care of it and it makes her job easy and makes whatever I want, possible.

I am autistic and have been diagnosed with ADHD as well. But I have other things going on too
