EPTAnd I've tried this for the past couple days, I usually get to 1 AM, maybe 1:30 AM and it just gets hard. Any methods or suggestions to keep me going?
I'm open to some weird suggestions but will not submit to ice down my pants.

pain is great to keep you up i would suggest listening to heavy metal/death metal/power metal as well. laughter is also something that breaks sleep if all else fails get high you could also SC for a bit or something that gets you up. DotA makes you sleepy though. | ||

As for any alcohol, my parents only have wine coolers (lol) - so eh. I'm trying to stay up all night so when I go to school tomorrow nothing will bother me. I think it is a good idea to respond to stress, since I have a really intense anxiety disorder and my parents don't want me to take medication for it, so as of now I'm finding different ways to make my anxiety and stress to go away. I've always wanted to try this but could never get it done, but now I have the power of Teamliquid.net!!!!!!! Another catch to this is I can't wake my parents up, so Starcraft (which is near their room) is also out of question but I can listen to music in my room on my laptop. Maybe I need an addictive goal or game. | ||

You'll have that floating feeling from watching the day come, but after a while, your day will be just as bad. Get yourself medication (fuck your hippy parents. this is your MENTAL HEALTH we're talking about) and do something that gets your mind off things. Get away from the things that cause your anxiety if you can. If you can't, then get treatment! We didn't invent prozac to make people suffer, it's supposed to help you, even if there are some side effects. | ||

edit: not to mention your heart rate tends to increase when you don't have enough sleep. don't make the problem worse for yourself. | ||

If you're still set on staying up all night... could drink soda I guess. As the other people suggested, porn works too. | ||

Yeah I'm going to find help soon, but my anxiety and stress has been snowballing the past couple of months and it is practically to the point I can't bare with it. I know some people take drugs, some people cut themselves and all of those severe responses to personal problems, but I'm trying to find something atleast semi-healthy. I think it is worth a shot. My parents will not let me stay home tomorrow and I'm not going to be able to physically or psychologically go to school tomorrow and deal with my failing grades, corrupted biased teachers who can't help me or meet my IEP standards, nor any kids who constantly fuck with me all day long. | ||

HS is a pain in the ass, don't let the people get to you. You have potential in the future no matter what your shitty counselors tell you. There's always junior or community college, which is a great option by the way. Keep your head up  . | ||

Maybe work this summer to get some money to pay for next year if you aren't low-income and your parents won't pay for it. File a FAFSA tonight. edit: just so you know I'm not full of sh*t...I did this....however I was in the 7th grade when I did the switch. Worked for me, 22 now, graduating from college this quarter. | ||

But since staying awake isn't really your problem, for your anxiety I suggest this: Don't run from it. If you think it sucks now, it's going to suck a lot more if you let it build up. Making your body physically ill so that you don't have to deal with a mental illness is not a solution, it's self-destruction. When I was in high school dealing with my anxiety, the only thing I wanted was to be able to get to sleep with my head running in circles all night. If you're able to get to sleep, consider that a blessing. If you ever succeed in staying up all night every night, you're only adding to your problems. The only thing that can heal you are friends and family, and you have to embrace that healing with open arms. You clearly suffer from self-esteem issues, so the best solution I can think of is just to allow people to show they think you're worth their time. Other than that, if you keep trying to destroy yourself, that's just Natural Selection, huh? No matter how much humanity surrounds itself with arbitrary morals and shiny buildings, the innate laws of nature will have their way with the very weakest of man kind (the ones that would drink bleach even though there are warnings, in picture form, telling you not to). Show some survival instinct and grow up a bit | ||

you're just gonna crash at about noon and everything everyone says to you after that is going to drive you insane. go to bed and get drunk before class, that'll help your anxiety. | ||

If you seriously believe that, then I doubt you've ever dealt with severe stress or anxiety. It is not something that gets better the more you rub your face in it. It's like saying the best way to get out of debt is by spending more. The way to deal with anxiety is learning how to manage it to the point where you can work to get away from or reduce the things that's causing it. | ||
