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.

Sorry @Anony18 .... in the throes of wedding dress fittings and such now .... it's going to be a very busy next few weeks ....

I wanted to say to you tha it will be very important to guard your own mental health if you are stepping into a relationship with someone who has mi issues ..... you will need to learn as much about the issues as you can, and seek help from support services. This is no small thing you are takin on, and love alone cannot solve all the associated problems. You will need to be very practical and knowledgable, and make the necessary allowances to accommodate the extra stresses and pressures.

You are feeling the effects of that already. Please take measures to support your own mental health so you can stand by him - fortified.

🌷💜.


Lookin' for ya @Former-Member ..... ❤💕❤💕❤💕

@Faith-and-Hope - yeah I am aware that guarding my own mental health is important when supporting my partner. I guess the hard part at moment is the determination if he wants me around to support him cause currently it seems that he feels he needs do this alone. Obviously this was an assumption based on our telephone conversation last night where he was at a low point. If he chooses to confide in me and allow me support him, as weird as it sounds it makes me happier and I be driven to do the research and ask the questions etc. Aware that I cannot force him to confide in me but one can hope and pray that he would.

@Shaz51 I'm doing ok thank you - I am feeling quite tired so I am glad it's the weekend and I have a 2 day break from work ahead of me. I also have no commitments this weekend which is nice. Last weekend was a bit hectic with my cousins 30th birthday party so I'm happy to have a weekend where I can lay low. How're you going?
