Anyone still up??

25 Replies

I know there is a post already about how everyone gets to sleep but usually when I write a wee post on here it calms my mind down enough to try and fall over...doesn't seem to be happening tonight...my muscles ache...they are twitching...my hearts fluttering...doubt there will be much sleep for me tonight.

I keep telling myself in my brain it's nothing but anxiety but after a few hours the bad thoughts are starting to win...I have the churning stomach...hate that.

Anyway I hope everyone else is in the land of nod...certainly wish I was there.

Great isn't it :D what you doing on the floor, does that help xx

in reply tomimii

Well I didn't want to be myself and she doesn't have a bed big enough for the both of us so I'm wrapped in my duvet on the floor lol.

It's quite comfy actually.

Been reading this & then I see your comment hubby snoring like a mega pig , only you could describe it in such a way :-D

I see you got some sleep though even if it was on the sofa , maybe a sofa bed is needed & when he is snoring you can get on that :-/

Hey you.

I hope you are doing a lot better.

She was doing her best bless her she said to me "I just don't know what I can do to make you feel better" I told her being there was enough for now lol.

in reply to

Oh Ashley you have a good Mum there :-)

Sometimes there is nothing we can do but listen & be there & she is

Have to be honest don't know if I would let you in during the night , I could say get to bed , I am grumpy when I am half asleep , so give her a cuddle she is a good one :-)

Hi Ashley, I hope you feel ok after such a tiny amount of sleep, and you had work this morning!!! You poor thing, hopefully you'll get a better night tonight.

I know why you had to be close to your mum, do you know I'm still the same now and my mum is 83, but she's the only person to make me feel safe and secure, she always makes me feel better and I love her so much. Take care sweetheart, all the best. X

in reply toKimmieblue

Hey Kimmie

Yeah I know what you mean about your mum...me and mine don't get on all the time but I always feel safe when I'm with her.
