4am awake with thumping heart, anxiety starting all over again - this is all so horrible and all I want is to feel happy and enjoy life like all you other lovely ladies do aswell. Not getting easier. Hoping you are all in peaceful slumber unlike me x 😥
Only 10:17 pm where I am! Watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Sorry you're not sleeping peacefully right now. Heart palpitations are scary. I take a low dose of a beta blocker. Been doing that for years. Works wonders for me.
Hi Lou, Im sorry that you are not able to sleep right now. It is 8:20 pm here and I am already feeling anxious about bedtime myself. This is miserable! Have you ever tried warm milk? I make some every night. It helps me 
I will be praying for you right now that you are able to relax your mind and body and fall asleep. Take care!
Yes Ive had that on the telly aswell - watching all those dancers shaking their hips wishing I could find the motivation to do anything at all !
Hi becky, yes I have warm milk with a spoon of honey - my friend keeps bees and im very lucky to receive the occasional jar, does nothing for me but tastes lovely - it's just trying different things that help but sadly Havnt found the answer yet. Hope you sleep well 💤💤
Do you exercise? I find that helpful for motivation. Yoga is great for relaxation. There are even videos if you don't want to find a class. And maybe look for a place to volunteer. It helps us when we help others.
Wow with fresh honey?! Never tried that before. Thank you hoping you fall asleep shortly
Yes honey is lovely and has so many healing properties and lots of uses for us, try some x
Definitely will
Yes I get tons of Exersise in my work and am knackered by lunchtimes ! Until fairly recently I used to walk two miles a day to our local shop and back as we live in a very rural area ( suits me fine ) but can't be bothered now, too tired. Ive heard that yoga is very good on so many levels I'll have a look thanks .
I'm awake too. Completely nauseous as usual. I know everyone says this will pass but I'm so sick of being sick. I've got a thirteen year old daughter who I fear thinks I'm dying. Add that to feeling like crap every day, the only respite I got was sleep and now that appears to be gone.
Awwww Molly, I feel the same way, sick of being sick! I will be praying for you and your daughter. I hope that you are able to relax and get some sleep. Btw what time is it there?
Yes something quite enchanting about honey when we think of how such a natural product does so many things for us, only one spoon a day is needed - helps allergies, heals wounds etc etc. good luck x
Ah Molly poor you and I understand your worries about your daughter, I have two but they're grown up now - my youngest worries too when she sees me looking so rough and haggered. Let's just hope the day comes soon where we all feel better, huh can't see it myself 😬
Morning Lou, sorry you're suffering it's awful, I had the same 3 months ago. Are you not taking anything to help?
Hi lou,
i feel your pain, I suffer with anxiety too. I have just started taking the HRT patches so I'm hoping that will help. It's absolute living nightmare. Have you tried anything to help ?
Morning Deborah , were you feeling just the same ? Can't take HRT so just vits x
Good morning Lou, hope you managed to get some sleep. I saw your post at 4 am but my eyes wouldnt focus enough to let me type back. I often wake in the night and come on here to see what other ladies are saying. It's a great comfort. I'm having dreadul night sweats at the moment, started 4 weeks ago. Just this second had super strength sage delivered through the door. Fingers crossed it works better the the one I've been taking. My daughter gets married next Sunday and I really need some proper sleep to get me through the day. I'm anxious enough about it and being away from home for 48hrs is scary.
Take some chamomile tea my love just before bed that has a calming effect I sometimes take one in the day too its horrible being a women isn't it beta blockers help me
Hi Lou, yes I was the same as you. Up awake every night at 4am. I went onto HRT bio identical gels - they've worked for me. If you can't do HRT the ladies on here have lots of great suggestions. You could try a homeopathic doctor ?
I know I was so desperate for a solution. I went privately as nhs just keep giving you different HRT tabs which weren't good for me. All the best, let us know how your getting along xx
