Awake (menopausal insomnia)

[beachcitygirl]

slighlty tongue in cheek but aibu to wish I could be sent to the seaside to convalesce whilst mildly medicated on Valium or the like while they all deal with the house and bills and dinners and crap.
I’m bloody exhausted- I yearn for a minute to myself.

Please can I come? I won’t talk to you or anyone. I’ll just sit quietly in the corner.

i would like to be in a cottage with meals magically materialising

I'll take the other corner

I hear you.

Me too. If I occasionally had insomnia it would be inability to get to sleep this is waking up at ungodly hours and brain is just totally awake. Feel terrible today.

Plus the regaining of the two stone I lost in 2020 and kept off until 2024 🙄.

I'd like to join you too, please. I had three hours sleep last night, my gynae/bowel issues are having a moment, and I just want a day off to be low-level unwell. I reckon a coastal, convalescence hotel could make a bloody fortune!

All welcome. We could have a book group and gin & tonic hour. What else should we have ?

We could have cats, and blankets, and swinging chairs in a shady corner of the garden.
And cake.

Do you accept peri menopausal with very (very) recent hysterectomy (ovaries kept)?

Can we have a loose leaf tea hour too, as I can no longer drink alcohol?

Definitely cats and a shady garden, love that. And I am happy to make some of the cakes

Can I please come too? I can offer home baking 🍪 🎂

I’m a really good cook - not menopausal yet - but 3 kids so this Valium idea and drinks and blankets and books sounds like the perfect place. I can cook for everyone - I like to do it by myself anyway (it’s my me time) is someone offers to clear up (which I hate!)

Can I come too please? X

Urghhhh, me too! So tired I could just cry. I’d come with you all, but fear one or more of us could get the meno-rage (over nothing) and we’d all fall out.

I don't really need to go anywhere, but I do need everyone else to piss off forever for a while 😂

Yes please. A really squishy sofa, wine, people to laugh and complain with, and my own room for epic sleeps.

100% I would be there! Sat in Costa drinking coffee trying to jump start my body after another night of shit sleep.

Not going to ask. Am coming. Valium morning and evening for the first two weeks please.
