I can't sleep. Got lots going on, and my brain won't switch off. No alcohol though.

Thanks for your replies x

Just everything really.. not sure where to begin!
Mainly issues with ex at the moment. But there are other things too.

I feel that when I get through my day it’s like an act of pretending to be ‘normal’ when I feel anything but.

Hence the need to crack open the wine at the end of the day

I’m tired of the pretence and I’ve lost me,
I’m really really tired of the acting and the effort of surviving
House is getting messier and my fingernails are gripping on the edge of a cliff
Is what it feels like

I'm up drinking hot milk with a shot of whisky in the hope that it'll help me sleep..

It's weird how a messy house can make things seem worse, even though it doesn't matter really.

What's the issue with the ex? (If you want to talk about it)

Baileys (left over from Christmas) is the strongest I've got. So I'm nursing a baileys coffee right now Grin

Yep. This evening one of my front teeth fell out. Chemo has fucked my teeth. Dentist on Monday.
Hope that's the only one, but fear there maybe a couple more.
I didn't know chemo affected teeth. My dentist says it's common.
DH says it's ok. A false tooth or two but that's ok because I'm alive. He's absolutely right. Was a shock though.

Sorry zebra

I should imagine it's like 'why are you fucking with my teeth, chemo? Leave them alone!'

Yep. It's like 'Seriously, enough now!'
It just fell out! Doesn't hurt, but it just fell out! Fucking hell, wasn't expecting that.
I keep going to look in the mirror and I'm like WTF.
Wine is helping.

Sorry to hear that Zebra, not surprised that was a shock. Hope you are ok x Looks like there are a few of us still up then

Wine supply has run out now - probably for the best. But still very much awake.
Ooh bailey’s sounds good, LOVE Baileys.

Sorry for everyone going through difficult times, I finished a work shift a while ago, went to bed and cried a lot as there is ten tons of crap in my life at the moment and I too am playing a part to everyone, I feel like an actor, trying to keep a mask on to hide what’s really going on and it all feels more desperate and lonely at this time of night/morning
