hi all I'm minty 

I've had a sleep pattern that's all over the place for a long time due to my struggle with my mental health in particular anxiety 

i was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma on 3rd October and joined Macmillan a few days ago it was by chance that i got my diagnosis because I'd seen my doctor about something unrelated and mentioned a sore on the side of my nose which never healed which turned out to be skin cancer

as I've said my sleep pattern is all over the place i find myself falling asleep in my armchair and getting maybe 3-4 hour's sleep then I'm awake for the rest of the night which then leaves me feeling tired the next day so sometimes fall asleep during the day which doesn't help with sleeping at night a bit of a vicious circle 

so if anyone who's also awake fancies a chat I'm always looking for company and a good chat
