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.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Former-Member @pip

Struggling today.....so tired. Partner was tossing and turning in bed yesterday. He said he was having nightmares but he is not sure what they are. Just busy working away today.

Had a chat with partner. Well actually he said he didn't want to talk but then he was talking nonetheless about how I deserve a better bf who can give me more attention etc. Found out other than me - his psychologist is the only person that knows about how depressed he is. His friends know about his brother being difficult but convo ends there. He appears to keep things to himself and not be open about it. But when I ask some questions/prompt he tells me. Guess the tough part now is helping him realise that maybe he does not need to do this on his own. His psych encouraged him to cut all ties and relationships and go off the grid. He mentioned about getting away and off grid for a few months - go travelling. Told him if that is what he believes is best for his MI than do it. Step by step is all I can say.

@pip - yes Find the Word. That's it

Your ability to turn mayhem around @Faith-and-Hope, is great. I like that. Might make up a few mantras myself...social experiment one makes life do much more fun.
My psych and I came up with it. She gets my humour. 😉...but it was by way as a means so as not too disassociate!
And in the end some things become 'It is, as it is' sorta situations for me!
Your doing a super job. 👍💛💜
