Anyone else who can't sleep?

[ragingchocoholic]

Fancy a chat?

I've convinced myself I have stomach ache, can't see me sleeping tonight. If I get to 5 I'm happy to get up as that seems more like the morning

@sparklytwinklyfairylights do you have any distraction techniques? It may be worth getting up and trying one or two for twenty minutes?
I dropped off for 5 minutes so I'm not sure I'm still allowed in this group 🙈

@ragingchocoholic thank you. I have health anxiety and at the moment I've convinced myself I'm pregnant. I have the Mirena coil in, have regular monthly periods and done test after test that were all negative but I've still convinced myself. I'm 47 too. I've been to the docs before about this and it had calmed down but just this last 3 weeks it's came back with a vengeance
I absolutely hate feeling like this, I'm fine during the day it's just at night and I'm now in the vicious circle of being scared to go to sleep so I don't wake up panicking

@wobblebot, I've just been cleaning my bathroom tiles 😂

Hey 👋 I’m still up although I’m hopeful I’ll be able to get some sleep soon. I’m just far too warm to get comfortable.

No, ambulance did arrive about 1.15, but DDIL called from ambulance and said she'd call when he'd been seen, so presumably he is not done yet.
I will keep myself occupied on MN 'till I hear.

@redredrobins hopefully you'll hear some news soon

Thanks Sparkly. Hope so, then I can get some sleep.

Well, I did sleep on and off in the end. @ragingchocoholic sounds like your insomnia is more than a Piriton could solve - but maybe pick some up today? If you haven't had any sleep at all I think you should call in sick to work, if that's possible. And maybe ask a pharmacist for advice? Really hope you feel much better soon.

Good wishes too to everyone else here struggling with illness and anxiety. I'm waiting for a diagnosis myself and it is on my mind pretty much constantly, it's very hard. to you all.

@sparklytwinklyfairylights I have done the deepest of cleans in the dead of night. I'm also known for rearranging furniture whilst the house sleeps! 😂

I hope everyone had rest of some sort. I'm exhausted after a day of teaching and I've struggled with tremendous pain to boot. I've come to bed because I'm freezing cold but it's may, I can't put the heating on in may!

No doubt I'll still be around all night if anybody fancies a chat

What’s the matter wobblebot? Why are you in so much pain?

I’ve got up and ironed before now in the early hours!

I have endometriosis and I'm into the 6th month of a horrendous flare up 😔😔

for you wobblebot.

Thank you @MollyHuaCha but why aren't you asleep??!

Hi , can I join In ?

I'm awake watching shite telly just feeling fed up .

Minor disagreement turned into a major row and I'm wide awake upstairs listening him snore from the sofa .

I have to up for work In 3 hours ..

Of course @saywhatnowhow
What have you argued about?

I'm awake because my dh & youngest ds have a sickness bug that started at about 10pm!

I'm on the sofa as there doesn't seem much point going to bed. I've got a second load of washing in & the first in the tumble dryer.

Have also unloaded the dishwasher but feeling tired now & wondering what to do about school tmrw (not for youngest ds obvs but have ds1 & dd to think about).

Also wishing I'd bought cat food today as it'll be tricky getting out tmrw - hmmm

If you're local to a shop you could nip out to get cat food when ds and DH are napping tomorrow?
Keep washing your hands, last thing you want is to be crippled by it too. I hope they get well soon for your sanity..hopefully it's just a 24 hour thing x

Something and nothing really, just the pressures of being working parents whilst managing a blended family , finances mainly .

I know it's me but I'm in a bit of a rut at minute and I can't shake myself out of it .

Have had a major issue with my db recently which means I will be nc with him forever and whilst it can't be fixed , I'm sad and almost In mourning but because of what has happened I don't feel like I can voice it as what he did was unforgivable .

Everything seems so much worse in the dark on my own

Very self pitying, I know !

Was up through last nights post & through tonight's too!
Am having issues with my mental health and in the midst of increasing my new medication.
Actually slept 15 hours last night/yesterday but between 7pm yesterday and 4pm today - now can't sleep at all, but prob will be able to in the day.

@JurassicGirl

I feel for you , I've been there , just when you think they are done puking , it starts all over again .

Wishing them a speedy recovery

I’m awake with possible chicken pox. It’s so itchy everywhere.

Am awake with unsettled pup. He is now gnawing happily on an antler while I try to decide if it's safe to leave him.

@saywhatnowhow is it worth going to give him a nudge to come up to bed? You don't need to feel so alone when you're not. I'm there too with similar stresses (not the dB one, I don't hear from him enough for him to do anything wrong). I'm so sorry you're going through but!
