i’m sleeping all the time because i’m scared to be awake

NSFWSpoilerI need support - advice welcome

it’s getting bad again and idk what to do anymore. i’m spending most of my free time asleep because if im awake i just end up obsessing. i freak out over almost every social interaction looking for bias and prejudice, and i think sometimes i come off as racist because i’m literally trying so hard not to be i forget how to like, interact. i can’t even use my good old escapism most of the time because then i start freaking out about what i like (ie, why do i like this show more than a more diverse one? should i watch a more diverse show even tho i know im going to spend the whole time fighting intrusive thoughts? am i a terrible person for not watching/reading diverse media?). like, i just want to read my angsty fanfiction is peace and pretend im not constantly anxious, but even that is another way i convince myself im racist/homophobic/generally a terrible person. everything i do and think has to be analyzed and broken down, and i can’t tell if my thoughts are real or not. i’m not suicidal, but im getting to the point where sleeping is the only time i get peace and i don’t like being awake. i’m just tired, i guess. my summer class just ended, and i should be excited about having a few weeks off before fall classes, but instead im dreading the free time.
