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.

@Bella1978 I've needed to accompany my daughter in an ambulance quite a few times for different reasons, but "unresponsive" hasn't been one of them. It's hard and very stressful. Maybe while she's in safe hands at the hospital, make sure you do some taking care of yourself.

@Bella1978my darling has never been completely unresponsive thankfully but I have had to take her to ED on numerous occasions, that is scary enough. Last visit to ED was only 5 weeks ago after an attempt.

On one occasion when her mum called for an ambulance during a crises we got 2 police cars also so now I would only do that in a complete emergency as it is quicker to drive her myself any due to how far out of town we are.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

oh no @Shaz51,

I have not looked at the weather yet today, that is not good news.

At the moment I am trying to prep for an exam tomorrow while being distracted by topic Tuesday discussion.

@Determined Our daughter's had police turn up too, but they were very friendly and "at ease" with her. I know a guy who's a paramedic, so I hear a little bit about some of the hazardous situations they end up facing, so I can understand why they involve the police. Basically there's no way of knowing the actual risk level until its too late.

@Shaz51 aaargh.... How are you holding up? On again/off again situations can be harder than "definitely on"- you end up on prolonged alert.
