why are you awake?

[YukoandHiro]

I'm up in some pain, and also worrying as I've just found out I have to have an operation in the next few weeks which was unexpected. Don't know how we'll manage the recovery period with two small children...

Why are you awake tonight?

Insomnia and a small grandson in bed beside me throwing up in a bowl. Sending hugs to all those awake who need one x

Some mosquito thing has been biting me last few nights. Infuriating. Not bothered my husband just me. Another few last night.

My little girl rather noisily climbed into our bed, woke the baby up. Managed to get them both back to sleep and now my husband is snoring…

Hugs to those who need them.
Awake partly due to peri and partly overthinking. My beloved dcat was pts last week, she's not in pain anymore but I'm still devastated. Have had a little cry.
Also planning a surprise 21st for my DD so running through what I still need to do for that, what to wear, when to pick up cake, set up room, will people turn up..... etc..... etc

Insomnia. A night of no sleep at all, so a particularly bad night. Makes me wish for my normal few broken hours sleep.

I am sat overthinking and feeling terrible as my ten year relationship ended last week, trying to get to sleep but haven't slept more than two hours since it happened, can't eat, can't sleep

12 week old twins

I’m babysitting my elderly bed bound father and he’d been yelling up the stairs at me since 4:45. Thinking something terrible has happened to him, I raced downstairs- but no. Just “I’m awake.” Well so am I now.

I showed him how to bellow at Alexa to ask her the time.

His brother is taking over today, then I’ve got a five hour drive back home.

My mother is deaf - I think she just ignores him.

Teen on a school trip to France 🇫🇷 Not near the riots but I'm overthinking.

I remember these day, the long over the shoulder hold to make sure everything stays in! So hard at the time but I do miss those quiet cuddles in the gloomy light. My youngest is now almost 3 and barely sits still for a second

Thanks everyone - the hospital gave me cocodomol but I hate how codeine makes me feel so trying to manage with just paracetamol. Pain feels better this morning, hopefully they'll call me to book my scan for tomorrow or Wednesday. I don't want to wait long; I really struggle with uncertainty.

Anyway it seems like this thread is exactly what I needed as I posted it and then fell asleep for a couple of hours!

Hope everyone feeling rough has a better day today.

❤️❤️

Just everything.

Work is tough, apparently I 'care too much' about the standard of work I do and product I deliver. I'm questioning wether it's for me and if I can afford not to do it anymore...but it's all I know.

I recently ended up in a clinch with someone I probably shouldn't have, due to being heartbroken about another situation. Rebounds are only useful if they help you get over the previous thing (it hasn't).

Sigh......

Woke up for a wee, then had to settle small child worried about dinos coming in, now I'm wide awake but said child has leg on mine, preventing me from getting up and doing something useful. Grateful though, having suffered sleeplessness before, that this is nothing in comparison. For those in pain (any kind) I hope it passes.

Massively stressful and important week at work, so the 5am wake up returned.
