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.

☕️

Anything on the cards for today?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Good morning @Former-Member @outlander @Anna88 ..... anyone else around .... 👋☕️💕

Certanly is coffee time .....

I am hoping for just such a distraction @Anna88 .....easier if things were settled around me, but you can’t always (or keep) waiting for that to happen. This door appears to be opening, and hubby is supporting it, perhaps with the thought that I am too lacking in my own projects, which is why so much of my focus is on him being “ill”.

Pits exactly the same perspective, but from opposite directions. While I can’t bring his illness closer to diagnosis, keeping busy is healthier than just sitting around in the face of it all, and when that distraction is something you are passionate about and really enjoy, it offers a wonderful reprieve.

Yes, How is your PhD going ?

Hoping to do something other than housework @outlander

I agree @Faith-and-Hope focussing too much on MI is not healthy for us. Having meaningful activities to do, including some that involve giving and receiving makes for much better health outcomes for ourselves.

Vacuum cleaner awaits, want to have my stuff done as I suspect lunch out might be
a possibility.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hope you can get out for lunch @Former-Member much better than housework thats for sure
