It was, I am sorry I posted this and maybe other stuff... to everyone. I slept for 3 hours, I should sleep again but I can't, but I feel normal now.

No need to apologize.

Understand the symptoms. The last thing you want to do is make some really bad decisions that you can never fix because of it.

Your brain gets weird on sleep deprivation; it's like being mildly drunk.

I am really sorry, I should've not post this. It is kinda like I was drunk... I never been drunk, I am almost 40 but a little slow (mentally retarded) so I avoided that stuff.
