Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

@Shaz51 - I think I be alright for now. Might need it later in the arvo. The weather here is sooo cold today. I had a hot chocolate this morning. Then a soy flat white with the client as well for a meeting. Went for lunch and had a popcorn ice cream. See image below! Although I think it is a bit crazy given it is cold but oh well.....

Hi @Former-Member 🌷💜

In a bit of a crisis day over here ..... I'm not wanting to speak out on the. LE threads today cos there are others struggling already and I don't want to add to their loading ....

D3 has not gone to school today as she had an (already extended) oral presentation due today. She hasn't completed it. There is a final deadline on it for 3:30pm this afternoon, our time. If she doesn't submit her presentation by then, she will be awarded a 0, and cannot graduate with her year group.

She is racing the clock at the moment to submit something, even if she fails the assignment .... but if she dies manage to scrape through today, it will be the same tomorrow with another assignment she hasn't begun, and on Friday again with another one.

Next week, all through the week, it will be the same .... with her ability to graduate riding on the outcome of each day ....

Although it sounds pretty desperate, I'm in a place of "it will be what it will be" .... she will either pass or fail at each step of the way across the next week and a half .... and we will survive it either way.

Its just really hard going in the moment.

There may be room for recourse if / when WH is diagnosed, but right now I don't even know who we could ask that question of ....

I'll be back looking for coffee once today's deadline has passed .... whatever the outcome ....

💜🌷💜🌷💜🌷💜💕

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Shaz, my mum & dad are 82 but a year ago she was diagnosed with Adenocarcenoma (metastasised cancer) & she's too unwell to have chemo. She doesn't have pain & manages to cook and care for dad who has dementia & mobility problems. However, she is extremely difficult, angry rvrn abusive and I don't know how yo handle her, it upsets be and I come home sick after visits.
