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.

How did you go today @Adge?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Good thanks @Former-Member Although a long rushed, & tiring day.

I found a place to do a Wheel Alignment on my car, which they did late this afternoon.

After having tried several other places - which all said either "We're too busy to do it today" or "We don't do wheel alignments on Saturday" (only during the week).

The MH Support Group is Bipolar-focused (as I thought), which I do not have. Very small, only 2 to 6 people attend (they said).

They were friendly, welcoming, & seem to have useful coping strategies (suggestions). So far it was not too structured, but was well-facilitated.

Unlike the MH group that I was responsible for running (organised) 17 years ago - which had a rigid agenda, a very set program.

So yes, I will go back next time, although the group only meets once a month.

How was your day today?

Hi @Adge @Former-Member

Been fed a yummy hamburger by my son.

Counting blessings.

Thanks @Former-Member It's alway worth trying something new, that might be helpful.

I don't do that often enough, but I have tried & done several new things recently.

Hi @Appleblossom Being fed food, or having a meal cooked for you by someone else - I'm sure you could do with that, now & again.

It's funny how I think the food tastes nicer, or I appreciate it more - when someone else has cooked it...

I felt equally close, and spoke to the pigeon as the men who was chatting to me in the waiting room at the station last night. The first one was a young hunk with bicycle who offered to keep me company on a deserted platform. I said I was fine thanks. Then at next platform, I was pleasant but after chatting for some time he wanted me to join some wealth creation scheme. I let him down gently but I could not possibly go along with those shenanigans ...Then today after recording session a man sat opposite me in a group and I finished my coffee and fled. Men never talked to me before.
