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.

Yes @Former-Member You can definitely gently encourage me to do some To Do List tasks...

I just did, it was a struggle - because I'm very fatigued & dissociated today.

I caught 4 Budgies from my Aviary outside (they've bred rather prolifically).

I brought them inside, & put them in the large cage where Rainbow the Peachface used to live.

It can be tough going but don't you feel just a little bit pleased with yourself?

Perhaps time for a cuppa ...

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

Thanks @Former-Member Yes, it's far better than the regret (& down) that comes with feeling that I haven't achieved anything.

I don't know why such small tasks can seem overwhelming to me (silly).

Yet it's often motivating to do one small thing, then another...

Happens to nearly all of us @Adge - it is often the small jobs that get put off, sometimes for years...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member Good to hear it, because I always think it's just me....

Yes Baby steps @Faith-and-Hope Small ones at the moment.

I'm trying to Baby step myself out the door...

I need to go out somewhere (anywhere), if only for a short while.

So tired.

The tiny steps can make a very big difference to state of mind @Adge ..... just keep takin’ ‘em ..... and make them even smaller if that’s what works in the moment ......

Hope everyone is having a nice Anzac Day. I went on a hike with family then we had a BBQ. I'm really happy I went along because I've been feeling a bit sad lately and it was so nice to be out in nature in the mountains. Will definitely do it again soon.
