I am way with you. Right now what I'm doing is a test in limiting distractions. I had a funny thought last night; "My life is a distraction." I think that most of the things I do are to avoid figuring out what it is that I really need to be. Things I use to escape figuring this out include almost anything I do on my computer (Like this. Whoops.), reading, eating, and sleeping.
I'm trying to go for three days without sleep, since sleep is a huge 8-hour escape for me. I figure that by the second or third day I will be sick of all my other distractions and will thus be forced to confront whatever reality it is that I am avoiding. I'm already sick of reading, the internet can only provide so many updates to distract me before I become bored to tears, and I don't have enough food to distract me for more than three hours a day at most.
As an added bonus, people supposedly start to hallucinate after 72 hours without sleep as their body tries to force REM (when dreams occur). So even if this is a PD bust, it should be interesting.
