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.

Flat and tired here also @Smc it seems to be a common thread at the moment both here and real world.

I was at a meeting this afternoon where everyone was saying the same thing, 2 members of our group completly forgot about our meeting lol.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Determined

Thanks @Bunniekins I don't easily get interviews, so doubly disappointing.

Yes I will ask for feedback, because that could be helpful.

It's been a long day, & it's hit me hard - so I need to find some Self-Care & do it...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi everyone. Sorry I have been so quiet today and not responded to any messages. I had to call ambulance last night as i went to check up on mum and she didnt respond - was breathing and had a pulse but wouldn't speak or open her mouth. She came to emergency and is still in hospital. The hospital psych is contacting mum's psych. Highly likely she will be admitted to mental health hospital. I hope everyone is having a better day than me! Has this happenned to anyone else, ie their loved one not responding? I also think mum is hearing voices - it is as though she is listening to someone and nodding her head. Long day for me! X

Wow @Bella1978 .... that must be so frightening .....

Sending gentle hugs your way.

My Mum was unresponsive with an illnes in her last week. It’s horrible, but hopefully your Mum will recover with medication. Hold to hope for now, until you’re told otherwise.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I'm sorry to hear that @Bella1978 That would have been very worrying & stressful for you.

I've had to drive friends into A&E (hospital) a few times - but mostly it's been me going in an Ambulance (myself) to A&E.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope. She has today been responsive. Last night was very scary. This happenned once last year but she responded sooner. I spoke to her psych this morning - he thinks its mum's way of just shutting down, not having to deal with what is happenning, and she is still in denial about being unwell. Mental illness is so complex, and very erratic. At least mum is in hospital and start getting treatment she needs.

Sorry to hear that @Bella1978, that would have been scary, it is good now that she is receiving the help she needs though. Hopfully you can also get some rest now knowing she is safe.
