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 can see that @Former-Member has tagged you to a more specific schizophrenia thread @Cazzza, and @Queenie may be able to help you too.

Hi @Adge, how has your day been?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-MemberI had a rare point of connection (brief conversation) with a co-worker who also lives alone, & told me that he is lonely too.

Tonight I looked into attending a MH support group, or a Grief support group (or both) - that wasn't possible when I last tried (1 or 2 years ago).

I'm trying to find more positive focuses & supports (face to face). I've tried many many times before - sometimes it achieves something, othertimes it's just a dead-end (0).

Sorry it takes me so long to think of & type responses - this few lines (now) took me about 20 minutes...

Morning everyone .... 👋

How are you going @Smc ? Have you managed to rest up a bit ? I have been out and about, but have encountered some major fatigue events the last couple of days .... cues to slow down again.

Hi @Bella1978 .... How are you going ?

Morning @Faith-and-Hope and all.

Still feeling tired. Slept a bit better last night, but am still feeling pretty tense. If I'm honest about it, I may be able to remember one morning in the past year where I've woken feeling well rested? That's probably a common enough experience here. One day.... Meanwhile if I can at least get enough to function, that will have to do. Sorry to hear it's hitting you too.

Daughter's psychiatrist phoned yesterday, and had a brief but good conversation with her. It seems she's looking along very similar lines to us, which is encouraging.
