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.

☕️

Lots of conversations happening tonight. I feel as if I have company whilst eating my dinner.

Sorry that things have gotten to the stage that you are considering a hospital stay for your darling @Determined.

What drawing are you working on now @Faith-and-Hope.

I'll check out that other thread @Bella1978.

@outlander - I'm sure you all enjoyed the pizza especially the lack of cleaning up afterwards.

@Adge @Smc- roast pumpkin and sweet potato is delicious.

@Appleblossom - floors were on my to do list over the weekend but didn't quite get done.

@Former-Member - cool shoes

Chicken stir fry with brown rice @Bella1978 and a couple of Caramello Easter eggs for dessert. I get really hungry after being in the water.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hope you guys and gals don't mind ... I just need some advice. Short story is mum is spiralling downhill with depression, she can't see that she is though. She had psychiatrist appt today but I couldn't get her to go. Fortunately, the psych was happy to see me and listen to what I had do say. He suggested increasing her anti depressants and to see him in 2 weeks. She isn't on board with this. I believe that if she let me help her at home she wouldn't end up in hospital. As soon as I start up a conversation about how she is feeling she pulls away and switches off. What do I do? I don't want to see her get worse but she can't see what is happenning. If I push too much, she shuts down the conversation, says she has a headache and goes to bed. She just won't listen to me.

Thanks for reading x

I have bookmarked @Former-Members chicken stir fry @soul, something to try on the weekend.

Caramello easter eggs for desert sounds like a treat. Will have to add that to the weekend shopping list.

@soul oooh nice! I just cooked up some veal cutlets. I try to do a big batch of food and freeze it and then just warm it up or throw it in the pan. Do you swim?
