Depression / Anxiety

Now back from barbecue, unfortunately I fell asleep good job it was at my sisters and everyone there knew me. Tired now think I will have an early night tonight. The only prob is I will then be up about 2 in morning, but my housework will all be done for the morning thats a bonus of not sleeping at night thats when I tend to have the most energy. Col 23 hope u r feeling brighter tomorrow, this disease is so unpredictable I can have a good day and think great and plan the next 2 or 3 days with fun and the next day I am totally shattered and all plans go out of window so I like you have learnt to take one day as it comes, its the kids I feel sorry for because they never know if we r going out or not, but I do try my hardest to do things with them, but at 12 and 8 they do understand. I hope I will be ok on Monday cos we r having my 3 yr old niece for tea and I know I will be up and down and running around after her all afternoon but sometimes it worth pushing it and she is definately worth pushing it for, she is a bit young to understand she just like to feel the buzz in my arm where I had the fistula. Oh well I think its bed time. Take care till tomorrow x

When I have trouble sleeping in the early hours of the morning, I get up, but try to sit and relax in front of the TV rather than doing things (not that I can do much these days ). I then find that I can fall back to sleep after about an hour.

I too find that sometimes I have more energy in the middle of the night.

Well didnt get too earlier night it was about 11ish, was awake for 5 tho and have been up from then, watched lasts nights big brother and done 4 loads of washing, washed up, had breakfast, just having a brew and then going to garden centre for presents for fathers day for the dads, (always last minute). Another barbecue later again at my sisters, she must be mad, and Bingo tonight Sunday Night is the 1 night I keep free for Bingo, I go with my sister I just hope we come home with some money in our pockets. Its a nice sunny day again in Manchester for a change hope it lasts for a few days, u always feel brighter when the sun is shining I think. Hope u all have a good day x

Brocky, Sue (my better half) is also off to Bingo tonight. Good luck.

Yeah!!!! Won £200 not a bad nights work, if I say so myself. Tired today though, it was too busier weekend for me 2 barbecues and bingo, could do with chilling today but had my 3 yr old niece since dinnertime, we have been park and had a sandwich and picked my youngest up from school, my daughter just took her park so I can have 20 mins of peace. Roll on tomorrow, I think I will be doing nothing, Hospital Wednesday and Thursday, so tomorrow definately a day of rest.

Cool. Well done. Did a lot better than sue (won £10 = £50 loss on night) Still some you win, lots you lose but it is good fun. I go too when we can afford it. It takes your mind mind of everything as they call the numbers so fast - so easy to let your concentration slip and miss a number. Sounds like you deserve your rest - enjoy.

Mine and my sisters other halves think it only costs £20 for the whole night whereas on average we prob spend around £70 each but to be honest it isnt very often we come home with nothing sometimes its only £10 each and I have won a £1000 before now and her £500 so we dont do too bad but I do like my bingo more because its one night a week where like u said u dont have time to think about anything else but numbers. Having a chill out day today, doing nothing its great just prob surf internet all day.
