Why are you awake?

I'll go first. THE RAIN

Our bedroom is an attic conversation and my said of the bed is partly underneath a skylight. It's like trying to sleep inside a drum!

State of the world. We seem to be on the edge of WW3 and people don't seem to realise it, they post about dogs and mistresses and private schools, etc. but we are staring into the abyss.

I’m going into hospital at 7 am for a mastectomy surgery for breast. Cancer - haven’t slept a wink as terrified of the op

Hope all goes well and that the staff are lovely to you. My last experience in the best clinic was that everyone was so nice and I hope that's the case with you as it really helps.

I wouldn’t trust my cat to sleep in here, when she gets trigger happy she gets the claws out!!

Just been sabotaged again by this woman at work who kicks off every time something goes well for me - imagination me doing a good presentation, winning a new contract etc so it's ruined and I don't get recognition because everyone gathers round her to make her feel better (she cries, feigns illness etc). I know it sounds petty of me but when it happens every time you know it's deliberate. But then I'm told I have to miss a training session because I trigger her (woke industry) so I miss out on a bit of my training that I've paid for. FFS.

Makes me so angry that I wake up seething.

You miss your training because you trigger her? That sounds nuts!

It's a long story but, yes basically. Only a small part of itt - about 90 minutes - and I would have been observing rather than participating but it was still a learning experience I missed out on.

I'm not surprised you're waking up seething – that sounds pretty bizarre!

@spicysugar what do HR think of you missing out? I would be furious if I was in your position, I'd be asking why should I be the one removed? Cross on your behalf

Thanks to you and @PlummyPears for the support.

It's a bit outing to say any more but we're paying for ourselves so no HR involvement. Anyway I'm not going to be in this position again, so I feel better now I'm home.

It does make me think though about all the people that kick off in groups and how they ruin things for everyone else and take up the vast amount of the training time and the trainers' attention.

Hopefully will sleep well tonight as I hope willl all of you on this thread.

spicysugar · 23/09/2024 19:27

@Rockschooldropout hope all went well with the op and you are not too sore. Thinking of you.

DryBiscuit · 23/09/2024 23:43

So here we are again….

iwouldnthavebelievedit · 23/09/2024 23:47

just in bed having spent two hours writing an email protesting the despicable behaviour of a year head at school who thinks i'm scared of him.
i eventually nodded off 5-7 last night but overall had 2 hours sleep since 2am. no idea how i'm not sat in a corner with a pair of underpants on my head, two pencils up my nose and saying 'wubble'!

Stressing and anxiety

Mumof1andacat · 24/09/2024 03:09

Insomnia again

Thighdentitycrisis · 24/09/2024 03:21

I have toothache or gum infection

DracunculusVulgaris · 24/09/2024 03:32

Worry, anxiety, shock and self reflection after being verbally attacked by my partner and pondering my next steps...

TheUsualChaos · 24/09/2024 04:05

Combination of dog being unsettled tonight and fussing to be outside, think she has an upset tummy, and a good old dose of peri anxiety and insomnia.

That sounds hard @DracunculusVulgaris 😞

Mermaidsarereal · 24/09/2024 04:18

Shoulder pain, haven't slept properly for around 2 weeks with it and no over the counter stuff is touching it! Finally have a GP appointment at 9am but then have to work. Supposed to be away for the weekend but feeling so anxious that I won't be able to go and will lose a lot of money and disapoint my friend 😞

numenor · 24/09/2024 04:26

Nine months pregnant and can't seem to sleep 😢

johnson39 · 24/09/2024 04:35

Felt dizzy in work yesterday , obvs could not get docs app, Bp checked at chemist and was sky high, so worrying about that all night and not going in to work today as I need to try and see a gp.
