I have so so much going on right now but today I just feel so down and sad like I want to cry a lot. Don’t know if it’s general Sunday night blues or I’m pre-menstrual but I’m just so sad. I bought some lovely pampering bits and had a nice long shower earlier to try to cheer myself up. Was going to do some work but couldn’t. I have insomnia so I don’t know when I’ll sleep and I’ve got to be up at 7 am tomorrow.

I hope you get some sleep too, insomnia is one of the worst things I've ever experienced. Thinking of you and hope tomorrow is a better day x

Please see your GP. I have suffered immeasurably over 30 years with insomnia. I've been given many different medication to try and think I've finally hit on one that works, BUT I take/have Zopiclone 7.5mg for backup and they only work if I take them in the evening, before I get wound up thinking about not sleeping. Strangely, finding talk radio to listen to during the night and various Podcasts, I've almost self cured, but I also need to sleep alone as I'm very disruptive on nights I don't sleep. We actually have an NHS sleep clinic in the region I live. Found it myself - GP never thought to mention it 🤬 Insomnia can beak a person - please find some help.

How are you doing today?

Thanks for your very kind messages you made me cry last night. I had an up and down night managed to fall asleep about 12ish which was good but woke quite a lot in the night.

I have so much going on right now and I’m peri menopausal it’s probably just some hormonal drop.

@BuffaloDance2000 I’ve only recently in the past 6 months suffered from insomnia I think it’s due to the peri menopause it’s horrible you have my sympathies
