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."

@Soc thank goodness you were able to reach out. Hope you are feeling calmer and more present. Strange weirdly scary things anxiety/panic attacks but chatting about that is definitely for a time when you've put a lot of space between you and your most recent one.
@Amandas Happeeeee birthdaaaaay!
Hello folks. Did anybody eclipse?
Cheers
Evening Shimmer
We eclipsed from indoors as we haven't got those special specs. I really liked the pasty effect that was cast and got nostalgic for winter evenings, toasting muffins on long forks before a blazing fire in the hearth, clashing pewter mugs abrim with mead...stop!
Most of the above is imagined tripe except the longing for winter. This weather has got on my last nerve.
How did yourself and pals enjoy our friendly moon stealing that hot ball's thunder? xxx
Hellooo! Well despite a bit of cloud I saw ...a lot of sun! Didn't even really diminish in brightness but at least I can say I was there
You like a quick online rummage so go look up on YouTube Shaanti Virtual Environment : windy rain and thunder
Go on, do it now ....
Hi, you go look too. I am not tech enough to post a link but it's easy to find
Cheers
I'll go take a look, and I'm with Julie - it doesn't need to rain men, just the wet stuff and I'm gonna get myself soaking wet!
