Is anyone up?

[Namechangex10000]

I just really feel like I need company

Hi, I am - feeling very fed up

Hello! Is there anything you want to talk about? I fear if I started I’d never stop!

I relate to your username too xxxx

Yep, I’m awake.

Yes, really struggling with sleep this weekend for some reason, even though I’m dog tired.

What shall we talk about?

Severe womb rage. Dawn is breaking outside.

I'm up. What shall we chat about ?

What’s womb rage??

I don’t mean talk about womb rage. It’s whats keeping me wake.

I guess I am not coping at all well right now. I know I should be grateful to have my health, no children to home school....

What about you?

Womb rage = period pain

Yeah as usual, feeding the sixteen month old!

I work for the NHS on a burns unit but both my daughters are critical care nurses and my son is medical student. That’s enough to keep me awake on its own.

Stressful times then

Oh I see, yes I’ve got my period at the moment too, and it’s ridiculously hot here.

There’s an owl tootling away outside.

I’ve got so much to do tomorrow and I know I’m going to be really unproductive now. I slept terribly last night too and was grumpy all day with my husband.

I think a lot of people are having problems getting to sleep. Its a stressful time for many. Trick is to try and put it to the back of your mind. I listen to the radio plays on YouTube , through my earphones. That usually works for me. Noise distraction.

Well I haven’t even got a bed at the moment and slept on the floor last night because my step daughter who always gets her own way caused issue yesterday which made me flip my lid and swap rooms, and now I’m just awake and quite pissed feeling depressed about how my life is. Sorry to bring the mood down!

My youngest daughter is off the Covid unit, no more patients, and back on cardiac care. I’m just waiting for my eldest to cover the “clean” side of ITU. Patients now having surgery who had to wait.

Oh primrose I feel bad for complaining now, that’s a lot to cope with. I really feel for you and wish everybody in your family safe and well x

Shall we start with a where in the world are you? Or do people not tell people where they live?! I’m always interested because I love other people’s accents, I’m ignorant so just assume everybody talks like me 😞

How old is your step daughter ?

I live in Windsor, just outside London.

Co codamol is just taking effect. Bliss.

I put the fan on , it doesn't get me to sleep but the noise calms me. It's too cold tonight though.

@PrimeroseHillAnnie 7! It’s ridiculous behaviour. I shouldn’t have caved but I just lost it and it’s only me who’s suffering! She still moaned!!
