Awake and up all night

I think I'm going to have to Julie, as my oncologist isn't doing much. I also have a psychiatrist whose giving me strong painkillers but they don't seem to be doing too much only making me drowsy during the day. Xx

Thank you Gill. I really appreciate it. Xxx At the moment I'm breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. It seems to be the only thing that works but of course I have  to keep consciously breathing which isn't always good as I'm unable to relax properly 

I'm anxious about so many things but this is just the last straw. 3 years of lung cancer. I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for my husband. He's my rock.

Hello Mrsmilo4 

Welcome to the chat group.

May I suggest you give the Support Line a call on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week)  I am sure they can help.

Best wishes - Brian.

Aw lovely, that's pretty awful for you, but that breathing technique is a good way to calm yourself as I've used that method myself when stressed out.

Maybe try as Brian advised and use the helpline. Thank goodness for your husband and his support.

I hope you'll get sorted out soon sweetheart xxx

That does sound like a good breathing technique. 

I'd also call the helpline that Brian suggested.  I'm sure they'll be able to help.  Hope you feel more relaxed soon xxx

I hope you all have a lovely break. So pleased for you. Enjoy every moment. xx

First thing is that what is happening sounds awful. I think you have made a big step coming onto the group. It sounds this is really frightening you and your body has got into a cycle. Don't beat yourself up. What is happening happens to alot of people. I also used to wake up panicking. You feel lost and alone. Let those emotions out. You are scared and stressed and it would be bloomin odd if you weren't. This can pass. As Brian and Gill have said, call the support line. Try to eat and drink well and healthy and get exercise if you can. We are all here for you and we all understand. You are not odd, you are one of us fighters. Loads of love. Imagine next time you panic having a huge blanket of love around you that is all our love and support for you.
