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.

@AdgeGlad you caught your birds and are doing the looking after and moving on stuff after peach face passed. Have you seen the bird of prey movie re Philipine Eagles?

Hey @Anna88 That hike sounds lovely.

@Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Determined

Sometimes it easier to keep moving. It can take more energy to get a body at rest ... on the go ...

Yay for soups. My pot on stove is going with gnocchi today.

@Adge lol it is all @Zoe7's work. She makes the creations and greenpea wears them. This one is to celebrate that greenpea is starting to feel alot better than what she has been for ages. I am getting well Adge 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Excellent @Bunniekins That's brilliant, cause for celebration...

I was badly intimidated by staff & manager behaviour at work, on Monday - it triggered dissociation, which I'm finding very hard to break free of (leaves me feeling trapped & non-functional).

I wrote about it's effect on me in the Worry Room thread.

@Adge That is no good wish I could come over and tell them off! I will go and have a read. Whatever happens dont worry Adge you are a wonderful person with star finch appeal. 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Bunniekins It's not personal, it's the way they operate all the time (threats & punitive action) towards nearly everyone.

However it has a severe personal effect (for me).

It's intolerable working under such a system, with such attitudes.

Highly invasive, I get work messages & phone calls at 6am in the morning & 8pm at night, etc (can't deal with it)...

@Adge I have read the worry room and it says that you dont want to comment ... but I will say this. Sorry misread earlier posting. Time to leave your job Adge. If it is making you sick and is a toxic work environment which is turning everyone on each other as part of the work culture you dont want to be around that particularly when they are paying you in peanuts and you only eat high quality bird seed.

You are a smart, caring guy I am sure there would be other forms of employment you could get whilst you are waiting for your dream job gardening.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Bunniekins Yes I only eat high-quality birdseed

I've actually been trying to get another job for 2 years.

Knock-backs, one after another, must keep on trying...
