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 Everyone. Lots of post here and I took a quick glimpse of it all. It is a really busy week with work. It's one of those week where am constantly anxious 😔 I wake up, work through lunch and til late, sleep and repeat. Thankfully I have couple days with an hour or 2 of dance which gives brain a slight rest. If weren't for it I probably have a meltdown now. Actually last night I had a little cry before bed.

@Faith-and-Hope - cold is better but I have that coughing fit at the worst times ie talking to clients or as am asleep!!! Dance practice was good. Bit worrying given bit cleaning for the big concert in 2 weeks time but will get there. Gotta have confidence and the faith ☺️ Sorry if you said this in the forums but did you find out the results about D3? Hope she is able resit!

@Anony18, hello, you sound really run down, can you find ways to boost your immune system. Hope the anxiety lifts soòn - Do you journal? Dancing sounds good. Hope you sleep well. Go gently 💜

@Former-Member - I am but won't be able completely rest til these deadlines are met. It is the nature of the job I do unfortunately. Legislation requirements so there will be severe fines if they aren't 😑 It's reason I started taking up dance a couple years back. Prior to that I use to breakdown very often (usually alone in bed or shower). Found dance breaks up day. Although it means I sleep later at times it gives my brain and anxious feeling in chest a break....if that makes sense.

Yes I do journal. Almost daily. Mostly it involves writing about my partner. To be honest sometimes I wish my partner could read parts of my journal as I express my emotions better by them than talking, is that weird???? Although it's mostly about my partner there are times where it's reflection on life or memories of my dad who passed away 11 yrs ago.

Well off to bed then up to repeat the day. Thankfully there is dance tomorrow 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Yes @Faith-and-Hope, i was taken back that petrol costs weren't addressed, and didn't know quite how to bring it up, and she's so unwell... My little chat with the Holy Spirit had me leaving this one with God but I decided I would have to make it clear next time as i really can't afford it (my car $60+). And I did get to see my S1.

BUT! we judge too soon, I just got a tx from her saying: "Hi, how are you today? I hope you are not too exhausted! Thank you very much for taking me yesterday. I had a great time with you. I meant to give you some money to cover the fuel and tolls. I will bring it Sunday to church" But my tx answer was "No worries, i liked your company too, glad to lighten your load just a little for one day at least. I'm ok thanks, had an early night and slept in, lucky I have time to rest up. Don't like exchanging money at church so maybe just fill the tank for me next time - then i can do it more often too. Are you tired yourself, from the chemo, or energised by the 2 blood transfusions? Admire your resolve to fight this as long as you can, we love having you round 💞 Ps145 "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love"
Think that was ok (hope).




I think what you wrote was brilliant @Former-Member - she will understand now that if she fills your tank she will get more trips and you can spend quality time with her helping out with what must be really horrible
