Who else can't sleep?
Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?

- tigerbethMemberStill awake
- TabooGalMember@kmakm I'll be in on that one! Why not a tray off them lol
- kmakmMember@TabooGal Now if you were to offer me a 'special' brownie I'd join you...! ;)
- TabooGalMember@kmakm I sense anxiety is going to be with us forever. Always worried about that lil buggar striking again. I could use a doobie right now! Haven't had one for 40 years lol
- kmakmMember@TabooGal Sometimes. I'm on Pristiq, went on it mid-chemo. It's worked well for me for the depression so far, but anxiety is still problematic.
Ask your oncologist about your meds asap so that if you have to change you've got time to adjust before chemo begins. Or at least make a start.
I used to get to sleep OK. That went out the window with the callback letter from BreastScreen... It's mostly got better but every two or three weeks I hit a problematic patch. That's life now I suppose. K xox - TabooGalMember@kmakm I hope you get some sleep soon. My nights are like that even b4 my dx. Everything the day gone and worrying about the day coming. On 3 different meds for depression and anxiety. I hope to help that won't be the kind that will interact with chemo. I'd be lost without endep. Does reading help?
- kmakmMemberI'm procrastinating. I don't want to lie there staring at the ceiling. I don't know why the last few nights have been so difficult in the falling asleep department. I am overly anxious and I don't know why.
