I'm OK - day 4 post-break up. It's grim... Going to try and get some more sleep now though!

Tinselwinesleep · 03/02/2019 04:15

Why did you move?

Woke up to the dulcet tones of DH snoring like a warthog. He has been suitably kicked and silenced but now I need to go to the loo. Hmm

I am immunosuppressed and have caught the most awful cold. My head is throbbing, nose streaming and coughing so much I can't breathe.
Couldn't stay lying down so had to get up.
Sorry for everyone else suffering.

It's only 1120pm in Ohio. I'm laying on the couch with my kitty, watching Gilmore Girls.

Thanks Tinsel. We were in the catchment for a really failing school which ds hated the idea of. So we moved rural into the catchment for a great school.
School is wonderful and despite not knowing anyone, ds had made a good group of mates. He seems very happy after a shaky start.

But I'm struggling to adjust to not having friends close, not knowing any of the adults to make friends. My friends are 15 minutes in the city we left

I drank almost a bottle of wine earlier watching the rugby at our neighbours. I know that if I drink nearly a bottle of wine I’ll fall asleep as soon as I am home but will wake up approx 1am until 5am with a mild hangover. Tsk, never learn.

Sorry to everyone with problems Sad.

Why did you move Yourh?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/02/2019 04:24

X post Youth!

YouthMarket · 03/02/2019 04:25

Crazyheart - I'm so sorry. Chin up love. It will get better.

sheepwithoneear · 03/02/2019 04:25

I’ve to drive my son to the airport in 30 minutes- it’s an hour an half journey - I’m really nervous- hate driving in the dark and hate motorways

YouthMarket · 03/02/2019 04:26

Wine with rugby sounds fun. Worth it

thefirsttimer · 03/02/2019 04:27

37 weeks pregnant and heartburn is a killer

endofthelinefinally · 03/02/2019 04:28

Sheep - it will be fine, nice and quiet. take a flask of coffee, a blanket and put some music on. Allow plenty of time so you can go at a steady pace.
Have some breakfast at the airport.

coppercolouredtop · 03/02/2019 04:32

I'm up....just in from work. Winding down with a glass of white wine then bed....

GeorgiePirate · 03/02/2019 04:36

Handing in my PhD thesis at the end of the month and so stressed about it I can't sleep. Awake every single night for 6 weeks, hoping that I will revert to a better sleeping pattern following submission!

Tinselwinesleep · 03/02/2019 04:47

@Youthmarket the schooling is a nightmare! Was this secondary? Are you north or south?
15 mins doesn’t seem far but it’s when you can’t pop for that quick drink or cuppa, maybe have a date every month in the diary to meet those friends? You could collect them and go out near you and they could can home or vice Verda?

Nearly 36 weeks pregnant and have been in intermittent early labour for 8 weeks. Tonight the sickness/ back pain/ contractions is just not manageable in the slightest.

YouthMarket · 03/02/2019 04:48

Yes thank you for indulging my misery.
There's so much that's good and ds is enjoying things which was my main worry.

It's just not bumping into people and those casual chats I miss.

YouthMarket · 03/02/2019 04:49

Secondary and north in answer to your questions

CosmicCanary · 03/02/2019 04:49

Crazy my broken heart is also the reason I am awake. 7 days for me...apparently it gets easier Hmm

Flowers for all the sick posters.

DryHeave · 03/02/2019 04:49

I coughed myself awake.

5FullFathoms · 03/02/2019 04:53

Dunno really. I’ve been waking at 4.00ish for a couple of weeks now which is unusual for me. Can’t say I like it much.

WhentheDealGoesDown · 03/02/2019 04:53

Had to get up because I had a nosebleed and didn't want to mess up sheets, seems to have stopped now so will go back soon
