I never spent many nights on my own until the last few years when Hubs started working away, it coincided with all this meno lark which has done things to my brain and makes me think of things I don't want to think about! I think I'd have to get a house mate if I was on my own again.
Anyway, had the worst night ever during the week. Was a bit stressed during the day as a lot to do but went to bed quite happy. Woke up after a dream (not a bad one) with heart pounding, went to the loo but then once back in bed omg...couldn't get calm, brain in over drive, feeling sick, then I'd get calm and drop off but woke up again all panicky, and this cycle continued all night. Fortunately the yucky feelings wore off once up and had breakfast. However, joined hubby and was so exhausted last night I had the best sleep in a long, long time, 7 hours non-stop!!!
I had a phase like this some years ago when going through a stressy time, I think that's when meno stuff started at the same time. It eventually subsided once I settled down but I really need to address this being alone at night stuff. I had got a lot better until that thing last week waking up with vertigo and all those bad dreams. I've got to see the doc next week so I'll see what she says. In the meantime I've started back on a Vit b stress formula which helped last time.
Arghhh....feel for you all going through this xxxx!
