anyone awake? Still can’t figure this out on my phone not really sure how to tag people.., 😳

You just did tag @Nic1963 .... well done 👍 

I am awake but trying to get my head back in a place to sleep again.

How about you ?  How are you doing ?

Not too good tonight! Can’t sleep, every time I close my eyes... bad memories. Tried a few thins but nothing’s worked ☹️

@Nic1963 .... I am the same tonight after an awkward evening out with my hubby.and kids.  Trying to get it out of my head, but I feel bruised emotionally.  The incident itself is not such a huge deal in isolation, but it’s a reminder of what we are up against.

Have you tried some warm milk with honey and cinnamon ?  I might try that now.  Just making it gives me something to do to break up the swirling thoughts.

I feel ya! Im too scared to go downstairs so I’m waiting for my partner to get up soon so he can get me some meds from downstairs. No unfortunately I don’t drink cows milk and that’s all my family drinks. Hope it works for you though!!

Thanks @Nic1963

Are they sleep-support meds ?  Only answer that if you want to ....

[Nic1963]

Hmm not really, more for anxiety. I also forgot to take my anti depressant this morning so that’s probably a huge negative too

Crossed paths with my son in the lounge room .... also struggling to sleep.  It’s a more regular issue for him, and he’s on AD’s.

I am reading fluffy stuff on the Internet, distracting myself.

I am heading back off to bed  @Nic1963 asI am getting sleepy again.  Hope you settle to sleep soon too.

Goodnight.
