Awake and up all night

Hi Helen  

Aw flip about still being under the weather, but maybe the breakfast and getting ready for Christmas will help things along.

I've been to see my eldest this morning - we always buy each other treats so I'm back home with the spoils. A change of scenery for a couple of hours is a tonic and I got to fuss over her cats too.

Enjoy watching the Christmas films, always fab at this time of year, but daughter has lent me two horror DVDs that are more up our street.

Get well soon my lovely xxx

It sounds like you've had a great morning. I'd love a cat but they don't go well with motorhomes.

We'd love to welcome a cat too, but it wouldn't go down well with next door's mogs - they turn nasty when other cats come on the scene. I'll give all my attention to my lass's pair instead. Have a relaxing afternoon hon xxx

Absolutely! I came off HRT on Oct 23rd following a biopsy of a suspicious lump… my insomnia came back day one but of course, stress and worry contributed. I have now been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer so no more HRT for me. Sleeping tablets have helped but been prescribed with Mirtazapin. The sleeplessness has made me feel so poorly. Thanks for this post! Makes me feel less alone x good luck and love to all 

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I hope you can get some sleep.

Good evening Mrs P and if you're new here, a very warm welcome to our friendly group.

I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles and totally understand how they contribute to lack of sleep. But now you're here, feel free to post and join in the conversations, although we tend to jump from one subject to another. It can take your mind away from the worrying though.

I hope you start to feel better soon my lovely, and take good care of yourself xxx

Thank you so much. It’s so heartwarming to read this x hope you are well and sending you love 

Aw thank you sweetheart. I'm not the cancer sufferer here, but as my partner's carer I totally get how this insideous disease disrupts people's lives. But the Macmillan site is fantastic for helping everyone touched by it, and the folk on the forums are lovely. Finding it has been a godsend, plus I can share all the photos that others post with my fella, so we both benefit even though he doesn't post.

Have you joined the breast cancer forum too, as you'll find many there to help with what you're going through more specifically? However, posting here at crazy hours isn't unusual and there's nearly always a night owl to chat with. Hugs xxx

Thanks so much! ️ x

Your partner is so lucky to have someone like you (and vice versa of course), and I know how it can feel being a carer too x sending my love. Ooh, thank you for the tips
