At the same time, my sleep disorder became even worse. I started 
to sleep 10-12 hours a day while spending around 4-6 hours in bed 
just to trying to fall asleep, and since I had to do some 
housekeeping work it cut the planned 8 hours per day work down to 
4-6 at most. I have taped off all the status indicator LEDs on my 
electronics, I asked my brother and father to refrain from loud 
TV watching at night, all for nothing. Caffeine intake don't 
worsen my ability of sleep. I do get tired, but somehow still 
don't feel myself sleepy. Tried to tell my doctors, but they just 
told me to do the stuff I've already done plus to refrain from 
using computers as much as possible and instead look for a job 
that don't require them. However, thanks to I had to use a "desk" 
with no leg room, my spine is all busted now, barely able to 
manage to lift 20kg without screaming in agony.

I try to resume my work on improving mago, but on a much smaller 
scale and lower priority since I have to spend time finding a 
job, which is a very hard thing in this fascist country called 
Hungary, while also not supporting said fascist regime. While the 
state propaganda says there's a big shortage on workforce (to the 
point that supposedly humanitarians are being reeducated for Java 
developers), I also see a lot of people being rejected with bogus 
claims which tells me that there's something fishy, and hearing 
some controversies of political opponents' families suddenly 
losing their jobs says me that they're persecuting their 
political opponents at any means possible.

Losing the funds put me in danger of homelessness, since I 
haven't been able to pay my father for rent and food for years, 
not to mention my PC is on its deathbed with its dried up CPU VRM 
capacitors, and USB and LAN ports fried after a thunderstorm and 
our previous ISP being skeptical with overvoltage protection (we 
got a direct hit into the antenna, which blew up his equipment, 
and fried by router, the LAN port, several USB ports, a cheap 
membrane keyboard, and a Logitech mouse I just have repaired).

I think I'll take a few days of doing other stuff, since my 
sleeping disorder sabotaged my free time too and now I have to 
find a job, (preferably internship) to calm down a bit.

Have you tried melatonin? My doctor has me take a 1mg tablet and 
split it in two. So I take 1/2 at bedtime. That is the sweet 
spot. If you take more than that you will end up groggy.

No, but I'll since I used to have this issue even as a child, 
this might help. I'll ask my doctor again, if she doesn't help 
I'll just buy the ones that can be used without prescriptions. I 
hope it's not some melatonin insensitivity, that would require 
some pretty harsh drugs.

Have you given Cannabis a try? You don't have to smoke it, it can 
be vaporized too for example, and is really easy to grow yourself.

Hello,

Just to say you seem like a nice fella: don't make yourself 
miserable! Put happiness first, as "inefficient" as it seems. As 
a developer noone will take care of yourself so you have to do 
it. The SAoC tasks indeed seem quite ambitious and complicated to 
me.
In a way, you were lucky that such problems happen early in your 
career!

Hello,

I just wanted to say that you could consider finding the job 
abroad. Given
that you're an EU citizen, moving to Germany
or Austria (or Czech Republic, or Netherlands, or anywhere inside 
EU) is possible
without any bureaucratic issues, and you should use that 
opportunity.

It may sound scary, but it's actually much easier than you think, 
and maybe
that's just what you need! You may also be able to negotiate 
moving bonus which should
cover the rent & food for a month - until the first paycheck.

You've done the right thing by facing the situation and 
addressing it. Forget your coding commitments for now and get 
yourself sorted out. Hungary certainly has taken a horrible turn 
for the worst, I hope it does not affect you too badly.

And when you wake up do you feel rested and fully awake or does 
it take time to sober up?

Your experience sounds similar to mine and what helped me was 
fish/krill oil. Omega-3 acts as anti inflammatory agent. Its not 
a cure but it helps.

Hi, I'm one of the other participants to the SAoC project and I'm
replying on behalf of me and Francesco, the other SAoC student.
We just wanted to tell you not to be too hard on yourself and that
we understand the difficult time you're going through.

Also, if you want a change of air or a place were you can look for
new opportunities, we both are students in Turin (Italy) right now
and you're welcome to join us anytime.

We hope the best for you.

I agree with lagfra, take your time...

BTW, it seems that the Italian D Programmers League is more 
crowded that expected...

**complete** is the important thing.

Best of lucks.
