What's a random thought that keeps you up at night?

Question

Has to be random? I once had this randomly pop in to my head. "Its only a paradox if you don't admit it".

Kept me up for hours because if you don't admit it then there is a paradox. If you admit it there is no paradox. So is that sentence a paradox? If the sentence is false there is a paradox according to the sentence, but there also can be no paradox because the sentence can be false in both ways where there is no paradox at all. If the sentence is true there is no paradox being spawned since it says there is only a paradox if you don't admit it is true. So if you answer that the sentence is true there is no paradox, if you answer the sentence is false there could be a paradox. So it kinda spawns this nested paradox so then I had to see if I could solve the negative answers paradox.

Now after thinking it trough for a while unable to sleep I found the obvious answer and I have been using it as an intelligence test since for AI. The simple answer? Its a true statement. The only way there is ever a paradox is if you don't admit there isn't one, so as long as you don't lie to yourself everything makes sense. And only if you pursue the lie you get confused. I found it an incredible metaphor for that.

Other less random things when I could sleep over the years:
- Me solving the refugee crisis
- Me solving the broken education system
- Me inventing a new system for direct democracy
- Random non existant songs.
That kinda thing.

When I have too much time alone with my head like when I'm trying to sleep at night my head often goes dark places and one of the common things that keeps me awake at night I get more and more certain each day that sooner or later I'm going to commit s*****. For now, I'm stable and going on with it but I hate everything about my life and feel completely powerless to change it. My dad is my only friend and he's getting older. I know I at most probably have 20 more years with him if I'm very lucky and once he's gone, I'm not sure I can keep going without him. He's the only thing holding me back whenever I have a major mental breakdown. I'm on medication and I see a therapist which helps but some things just can't be fixed, and I feel like my brain is something I can only patch us and sooner or later that just won't be enough, I think.

It’s random things, sometimes just suddenly I think about
“Where is my passport?”.
“Where is my birth certificate “.
“Where is a jacket i bought a year ago i never wear!”.
“Are my clothes i never wear anymore still fit on me?”.
