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.

i reall hope she doesnt cancel again @Queenie

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes please @outlander a cup of tea would be lovely.

Urrrgggh @Queenie, if Mr D's case worker kept cancelling on him I would be ringing up and complaining ... I know he is a big boy (even bigger than he was, no thanks to the meds) but sometimes having someone to advocate is helpful.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @outlander it is really frustrating because it means the NDIA's deadline is fast approaching to have my Access Request Form and evidence submitted.

What have been getting up to in the last few days? Resting up flat on my back and doing yet more study. I passed two more assessments and finished a subject completely which I am happy about!

@Former-Member somehow I think my support worker sees me as low priority because when I am well, I like my independence. However, that can change quickly and I need to be prepared formally in case the worst happens.

@Former-Member

@Queeniewell done on passing your assessments and a subject! thats great!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Queenie I hope you don't mind my thoughts, Mr D likes his independence too but he also needs to know that they are there if things are not going so well. The compromise we have is that his caseworker rings once a month, the opposite fortnight to therapist appt just to check in and the deal is that he knows she is there if things go pear shaped. Trust the study continues to go well.

@outlander thanks for cuppa, I really need some beauty sleep so heading to bed now

goodnight @Former-Member sleep well

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hey @Former-Member, I'd like similar for me, just a quick call to check in. I used to have that when I lived in another town. I used to see a MH nurse once a fortnight for my injection and to check in. These days I'm in a metropolitan area and everybody seems too rushed to see me or call. Hopefully, if I manage to get a package under the NDIS this can be rectified.

Enjoy your beauty sleep!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Queenie ... hope you get things sorted.

Good morning .... Time to break out some hot cross buns
