lack of sleep is sending me bonkers

1 minute read time.

Well as im on my 3rd bucket of decaff tea today , i thought id do a blog as im so grumpy and snappy its stupid , i had a better day yesterday and even popped into chat for a bit and got such a lovely welcome, so left early for an early night , but damn suprise suprise i couldnt sleep again ,and yes last night i tried a herbal sleeping tab as have worked before but it didnt help, i have got a lot on my mind but i just wish it would switch off for a few hours , trouble is the more tired i get the more my mind goes into over time ,i even went for a walk on the beach yesterday to clear my head but even that didnt work ,

I dragged myself out shopping earlier , and did some baking which did make me feel better, then sat down for a bit to watch tv and fell asleep on sofa for an hour thought id feel better but now feel worse and got a headache too :( , i was meant to be going out with my best friend today but couldnt face it as she would take one look at me and know i wasnt right ,i was also very tearful this morning which im not now ,but i do keep snapping at the kids but bless they just ignore me !

Im also still struggling to eat which is odd for me ,not that it will do me any harm i got a stone to lose , i will go back to gp this week as i know this cant go on or i will be no use to anyone ,not that im much use now , and i got tough 10 days coming up , will be 6 months since ju died , and also my birthday in 10 days which i desperatly wanted to ignore but my best friend hit the roof and said she wont let me ,but i honestly dont want to celebrate ,whats the point !

God that sounds  awful and grumpy which isnt me ,well not when im sleeping any way , i think i need one of keezers huge kicks up the butt ,

Love and hugs to all xxxxx

    Hi Jenni,

    I agree with the Bird. You seem to be cutting yourself of from the rest of the world,and thats not good for you or the kids. When your Birthday comes around get yourself of out and enjoy yourself

    with some mates. I know you will say but I dont feel like it. But you wont know until you try.and Im sure Ju would agree. Its time to cut the shackles.Start enjoying life again you know thats what Ju would want for you and the kids.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

    Hi Jen

    Aww hugs! You probably don't feel like enjoying your birthday but it could just be the lift you need. A nice chill-out with your friends will do you the world of good and Ju would be the first to want you to mark the day in what ever way decide. All the firsts are hard aren't they mate?

    Re the sleeping, if it doesn't improve in next few days you need to get back to docs as you can't run empty forever!

    So my foot is joining Kezzer's, lol, get out there and celebrate that Birthday!

    Love and Hugs

    Hi Jenni

    Just wanted to send you a hug this morning and to say that I hope today is a better day for you. Lack of sleep makes everything seem so much more difficult, please see your doc for advice as you are trying so hard to cope and it is actually still early days for you. I can't pretend to know what you have been trhough/are still going through but I know from what I have read that you are a very strong person trying your best  and doing a fantastic job with your family. All the firsts are difficult, but Ju will be with you on your birthday, I am sure of that, so try to celebrate as your remember all those happy memories. Make your tears happy ones, for I am sure that is what Ju would want x

    .Thinking of you,with love and hugs Sharonxx

    Dear Jenni, I hope you can get some rest soon. You've been such a tower of strength to so many over the last year since I joined the site, and I wonder if you've almost forgotten how to look after yourself? As someone said to me recently: 'try to stop caring for everyone else and think about yourself.' I know that's hard as a Mum, but a little birthday celebration might be just the thing. Lots of soothing hugs coming your way, Val X
