Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Tip for anyone dealing with this: it's not just a sleep hygiene thing. You're thinking about all those things because you didn't give yourself space to think about any of it during the day. Try to just sit without looking at your phone all the time. Try to have silence when you'd normally listen to music or a podcast.
Basically, try being bored again. You'll find your mind will fill in with these thoughts and you'll have an easier time processing them when you don't have the pressure of needing to sleep.
"Don't want to be thinking about unpleasant stuff? The solution is to think about that unpleasant stuff!"
I'd rather be alone with a psycopath serial killer than alone with my thoughts.
You might want to seek professional help in that case.
They don't want to be alone with my thoughts either.
