Anyone else up?

[IceCreamSundaeCat]

Not unhappy or in pain, but can't sleep! Wondering whether to put on a film but my decision making capability is poor at present so I'm dithering about what to watch 😆

Go 80s film.. grab a herbal tea and enjoy.

You'll most likely nod off when it starts.

I'm up with indigestion from my new HRT patches , no hot flushes for 4 days but this seems to be my side effect for now, early days.

Hope it works well long term! I love 80s films so that's a good idea.

I've thought about HRT but I'm not sure I could cope with having a sex drive again.

Hot flush and restless legs here

Woke up and just can't settle back

I'm up..was knackered yesterday so went to bed at 9, slept for 3 whole hours. Woke up with cramp and have been awake ever since. Going to try and nap on the sofa but adult DS gets up for work at 4.30 so no doubt I'll be awake again then

Good thing it's half term, I can squeeze a nap in somewhere.

I’m awake and up as my stomach seems to have reacted to something I ate earlier 😳

Ha ha that's not coming back anytime soon!

@bushtailadventures hope you’ve already nodded off but am thinking the same re a nap later!

@needtonamechangeagain I did have a fear it might make me go off like a rocket 🤣 Need to stay single at present.

I decided on war of the roses as I've never seen it (and love Michael Douglas), thanks

That’s a bitter and twisted film for a late night!

I'm on holiday and always struggle to sleep when I'm away. I have to drive 45 mins to a theme park in the morning so could really do with getting a few more hours in.

38 weeks pregnant and wide awake! Fell asleep at 8.30 so totaly my own fault m, i feel horrific already

I'm up to take ds swim training.

4am alarms are a thing of normality here 😫🥱

I can’t sleep.

Divorce related stress and particular events this weekend have brought things to a head of sorts. So I’m struggling to not go over and over things in my head and worrying about what awful stuff horrible STBXH is going to do before things are sorted and he’s lost the ability to dictate anything.

He’s such a nasty little man. Always playing the victim. Taking no responsibility for anything. Making demands and following up with threats (of legal bullshit and parental alienation).

All of which means my brain won’t quiet down and let me sleep. Fun.

@IncomingTraffic you have pretty much summed up why I am awake too. At this rate it will be time for the school run before I drop off.

Sorry to hear you’re going through the same thing @ScaredAndPanicky. I hope you’re OK.

I think I’m just resigning myself to paying a solicitor a lot to achieve a situation where his ability to affect my life is as close to zero as possible. I’m looking forward to the point where he’s such an irrelevance to me that I can never think about him ever again.

I can’t see myself getting any sleep either. My body is full of adrenaline from dealing with him.

I’m here , had to have a magnesium infusion today and I seem to be working my way through side effects - woke at 12 with stomach cramps then 2 shivering cold and then 4 absolutely melting. I’m on sick at the moment thankfully so I can catch up with sleep later - waiting for corner shop to open so I can go for emergency milk as now have really awful heartburn

@IncomingTraffic I dream of the day I won't need to think about him again.
Eldest son has mental health assessment this morning as suicidal over way STBXH treated him.
I hope your solicitor can get things sorted.

@mrsbyers hope you feel better soon

I've been up every night for 6 weeks with stomach and back pain. I'm under investigation at the hospitals to locate the source of the pain..It's almost constant but intensifies at night. It's so hard. I have medication and andi am also living with 2 hot water bottles clamped to me. I'm normally a great sleeper but not atm. I went off about 12, woke at 2 .Came down to sofa then. Dozed on and off for sn hour but just sat here with hwb. Might crawl back into bed soon abd try and sleep. Conscious of disturbing dh. On the up side my kitty is delighted with this new routine. Sge normally sleeps on a chair in our bedroom overnight but she's keeping me company niwand either sleeping, watching me or playing quietly. She's adorable.

15 weeks pregnant here and been awake since half two. I did drop off around half ten so had four hours I suppose. Im not even tired, but head feels sleep deprived. Just hoping I'll drop back off as have plans later so can't really nap 😴 it's comforting to know other people are up.

It is comforting knowing others are awake your right Butterflysunshine01
Been awake since 3 mulling over meals, shopping housework, nothing as worrying as some of you. It’s just the menopause brain whirring, very annoying.
