Awake and up all night

Have a good day. 

I try to sleep but still awake every hour or so.

When sesting and sleeping after lunch, but helps.

Hi Willow

Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep and being abandoned by friends and family. 

Please feel free to vent on here and I hope you get some rest.

Hi Alex

A walk & lunch sounds good - enjoy.

Thank you H ... I slept in short bursts during the afternoon, which is irritating as I  love daylight, lol ... my druggie is calling, the off-licence he has walked to is SHUT and apparently that's ALL MY FAULT (like I control the weather, and have sent him SNOW!!), thank goodness I have a sense of humour...hope Alex had a good walk and lunch ....

Good evening Willow and a very warm welcome to our group ️ 

I'm sorry to hear about all that you've got on your plate at this time, but there are solutions sweetheart. Firstly, you've made a start by joining us and we're more than happy for you to be here. Like Helen said earlier, if you want to vent go right ahead, as we don't judge. All of us here know how limitations on your health and wellbeing can make things seem bleak, but when you feel sleep creeping up, maybe turn the volume on your phone down so your erstwhile friend doesn't prevent you getting precious sleep. I don't know what stage you're at in treatment or recovery, but by joining the breast cancer forum you'll be able to connect with others who'll be able to give support and advice too. A fair few of our lovely ladies here are also familiar with breast cancer. If family and genuine friends are out of the question, do you have regular contact with your medical team or does a carer come to your house? If so, why not mention you're feeling isolated and maybe they'll be able to give you contacts to nearby groups so you can socialise, and if leaving your house is difficult there are organisations who deal with this issue. The Macmillan support line should be able to help too if you let them know you're struggling.

Don't give up my lovely - by reaching out you could get back on a better track. Sending hugs xxx

Yes constant unbidden awakening is SO ANNOYING .... I hope you di get to have a walk today, and that that exertion may give you some more settled sleep

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply, Helen t.... I'm in a bit of a difficult situation as I was diagnosed in 2005 and the surgeon told me taht with RADIACL treatment (starttng off with a single mastectomy) he might keep me alive until 2008, so I told him (quite politely) where to sitck his surgery, and have had ZERO treatment, as all of the ppl I know who've gone through the mastectomy/chemo/radiotherapy routes are now DEAD after al. of that stress to themselves and their nearest and dearest,  whereas I with lifelong depression thought that the NO treatment route would mean I'd die more quickly ... mm-hmm, like THAT worked, and all of my so-called friends have abandoned me thinking I am a liar (or at best a fantasisist) 'making up having cancer' - do they want a picture??? ... also (nothing to do with cancer, jus the World hating me) every time I try to post on this site my laptop  goes metnal and deletes all of my 'tabs'????

Anyone else sleepless tonight?  

Yes,wide awake but wishing I could go back to sleep.Jane
