I did go back to sleep but in the brief moment of being awake I remembered, maybe I woke from, strange dreams. Things out of my control but I couldn&#8217;t let them go. All very odd. I&#8217;m trying to only control what I can in life and let everything else be as is. In that moment of wakefulness I also felt compelled to come downstairs and go outside somewhere and kill myself with a rope. \u00a0I&#8217;ve no idea why. Maybe this is tied to stoicism. The ideas in it are to meditate on ones death and on things that we don&#8217;t own or cannot control. Maybe this makes some sense. Luckily I didn&#8217;t act on or take the ideas and thoughts of suicide seriously. \u00a0I need an early night tonight. I&#8217;ve showered early tonight. We will eat soon too.

They know I don&#8217;t drink as such but wanted to give me something nice and I might have a half glass. Maybe today&#8217;s frustrations were due in part from tiredness and also my dream and suicide ideation.
