Feeling anxious - if you are awake and able to chat...... please chat to me.

Hello. Ive got an awful cold, struggling to breathe due to all the snot in my head. No prospect of sleep feeling like this. And now just to add a cherry on the cake Im feeling horribly anxious too. Please if you are able to chat to me about anything. What have you been up to today?
Ive been doing easy crosswords and reading magazines - my brain cant cope with anything more complicated. We've had three particularly beautiful Autumnal days too and Ive missed all of it due to feeling so crummy.

@brinny that sounds utterly grim. Hoping your tomorrow visit to the hospital isnt too arduous and you are all better soon.

@ParentToAngelsAndOneOnTheWay sending lots of love and strength. I cant begin to imagine how hard that must be. xxxxx

I have a nasty cold. Just woken up hot and coughing.

Made a nice cup of tea (black) and put some lemon in it. Seems to help the coughing.

One of the cats was being sick yesterday. I think he tried to eat leftover Chinese takeaway and his stomach didn't like the spice. I've just fed them (I have three) and he's eaten a little bit.

Feeling less anxious now........ thanks all.
Im going to attempt to sleep - I dont think Ill succeed but am going to try. Hoping you all get some sleep too. x

Thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say. My fiancé left me last week so it's been a bit of a rough time of it so it's nice to be able to come on here and have a yap to others who are awake and struggling with mental health, been so lonely the community aspect on here can be lovely. sorry for offloading like that xxxxx

I'm awake as ds had a sleepover in which three of them are awake screaming with laughter in the front room and my sons fast asleep in his room ffs

Ffs when will this fresh hell be over 😂
I normally get up at five but I can see this being difficult logistics wise.

Although it's actually nice to hear them having fun.

That's my boring life dump for you op.

Hope you feel better soon I hate having a stuffy nose and not being able to sleep and hugs for the anxiety. I've defo been there.

Hope you are managing to sleep now ( unlike me with my menopausal hot flushes which wake me like clockwork at 0430).
I recommend oxymetazaline spray for congestion. Otrivine is one but there are other brands that you can buy in a supermarket. It's very effective but don't use for more than however many days it says in the bottle.

I’m still up. Insomnia I’m thinking everyone else in uk asleep

I'm up with you. Been up all night, finally managed to fall asleep and the puppy woke me up to go outside. Which would be great if she hadn't already snuck downstairs and peed on the rug!

So we've been watching crap tv and cuddling since, of course puppy is asleep on me and looking like the sweetest little furry baby to ever baby.

I watched tv until 7 and then slept for a few hours. Still haven’t got going today and there’s a lot to do!
