Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    CSFBMM...I got it, though I had to write it down to remember it lol! funny about the shopping ain't it, I do miss it with Michaela for now but I know about the patience thing!!! and everything I'd pick up it would be 'oh mum...no' and likewise, though I was more subtle and say 'yeah that's not bad but what about this'...teens of today eh, when I was one we never had a choice, they were bought for us regardless or hand me downs, though I was alright there being the eldest, baby and his sister are doing great (he's now 5 months old) and is gorgeous!! love and hugs, am off to find this webcam pic so may be a while xxxxxxx

    Shell i think your questions should be put to your therapist wen you see her(,i would push your dr for a refferal i really think it will help you. ) It may benefit for you to face your fears, that way they never as bad as you think they are.It will give you more control.
    You no how people say "you never no wots gonna happen you could get run over by a bus tomorrow"? well thats true my grandad got knocked down and killed by a bus several years ago now, he was a fit and healthy man! xx
