Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Certainly not an oddball Gill. I can identify with your feelings when solo. When my wife died in 2007, I quite quickly sought company via a dating site. I met two very nice ladies who were delightful to talk to but after about 12 weeks I let the relationship cool naturally because I did not fancy being trained by a different close companion. The independence was rather pleasant. I would have had my wife back instantly if that were possible. Asked the same question now, over 19 years later, gets the same answer - with a small but significant pause...
. You are therefore not an oddball or a misfit, just a very compassionate carer with Yorkshire tendencies, whippets replaced by vampire leanings, and a willingness to adapt to being a singularity if required. xxx
