Is anyone up?

[Namechangex10000]

I just really feel like I need company

Me! I’ve currently possibly got Covid or maybe just a chest infection. Lying down makes me cough constantly so I’m drinking tea and talking to the cat.

I’m sorry for those of you that are up worrying

I feel like the world is just like a parallel universe at the minute. It’s all just so weird and stressful, humans aren’t built to live like this I don’t think!

I’m up, split up with my OH 2 weeks ago and really struggling to come to terms with it, can’t eat, can’t sleep, feel constantly sick and upset, wondering if I’ve made the right decision (I know I have but still hurts) hoping this sadness passes soon 😔 I’m in Manchester

No you’re right about that op. The whole situation feels utterly bizarre. Although my autistic dd is living her best life so every cloud I suppose!

@PrimeroseHillAnnie wow, in awe of you and your children with the great work you do 🤗

I'm up, had severe stomach upset and fever last night. Eventually wrapped myself up in a clean duvet and fell asleep, lots of clearing up/washing to do today

I am awake too , my neighbours has just come home on leave he is a really nice fella but by god he knows how to party .
His unit are all at his house having a few beers . They deserve it but it's been going on since about 6pm !
But my issues pale into insignificance compared to you ladies ( or gents )

Bumble I really feel for you, but am also in awe, I know I need to end my relationship but I haven’t got the strength to do it, so keep going if you know it’s right, I know it is a physical pain that nobody can make better! It’s awful.

I’m from Essex/Herts (near towie area) I have a brother who lives in Manchester and last time I visited I couldn’t believe his accent. Was so bizarre! He lives on the outskirts I guess. As we went to Liverpool for the day one day so I guess that part 🤣 I don’t know geography

👋 waves to fellow Mancs.

Leicester5 , drink lots of water, you dehydrate quickly with the trots.

I don’t feel like this thread has helped any of us 🤣 it’s quite hard to have a group conversation isn’t it?!

Thanks @PrimeroseHillAnnie, I've filled up a water bottle to sip from. I felt too weak to clean up last night but cushion and nightdress were collateral damage. Easily sorted later.

Your children sound busy!

@Alcalavicci 👋

@Namechangex10000 , If you know it’s the right thing to end your relationship then you have to find the strength, I’m finding it bloody hard, especially after years of being together and most of it being brilliant, but needs must, Good luck.

Good to talk when your worried

My DH is snoring like an elephant.

@beesbeesbee yes it can be a bit nippy first thing. I usually put on a podcast soothing recording as background noise

My first husband died in an industrial accident when I was quite young , 27 , so I know what it’s like to suddenly be on your own.

I think I’m awake because I’m worrying again about whether I’ve wasted my life so far. I feel like a total loser and worry about it a lot at the moment (will be 40 next year and feel I have almost nothing to show for the last 15 years).

I’m in Portugal, but I don’t have much of an accent - I’m British and moved around a lot so my accent is a bit of a mish mash.

Oh god primrose, my heart breaks for you, you are so strong to be have been able to keep it together, something like that happening is one of my worst fears. I can’t even imagine. I’m so sorry xx

Worked in Gulf States put never been to Portugal 🇵🇹. Not much hope if getting away this year.

@Primrose really sorry to hear that, so very sad.

namechange it was 20 years ago now. The kids were very young. Financially I was OK , oil company insurance. I had two kids to look after so I didn’t have time to grieve.

Jesus primrose how awful. That is my worst fear. My husband had a health scare about 18 months ago and for two horrendous days it looked like the worst was on the cards - my life fell apart in seconds. Thankfully it turned out better than the doctors originally thought but I live in dread of going through that again.

Namechange - breaking up with my ex was so hard, but it was for the best and we’re both so much happier now. I hope you find the strength.

I wish I never met him. I love him so much, and now we have a child and I will never be free

I've been up all night - well to be specific I've not really slept since Wednesday. Found out I'm pregnant and whilst we're extremely happy (TTC for nearly a year now) it's very scary to think about everything with what's going - mixed feelings of excitement for the first scan but terrified of going to the hospital.
