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.

Thanks @LooneyToones, you too

@Faith-and-Hope, I will take a photo of my garden & email it to myself and...,
its quite a process for me to upload a photo. My only personal or home internet access option is mobile phones which i cannot upload photos from (tried everything) and as luck wouls have it neither of my smart phones will tether to my desktop computers grr, so, this is what I have to do.
1. Email myself pictures (because i'm unorganised with USBs & forget them).
2. Go to public libray to 'desktop' SANE
3. Save pics in their computer
4. Upload to forums
So, now I twigged to email them to myself, they're there when I find m self at the library. Sounds pathetic but I'm still in recovery I guess, even going to the library is a challenge, lol Learning to laugh at myself haha

.cuppatime 🙂

Hi @Former-Member, @Anony18 @LooneyToones ...... anyone else here .....

Yas! Please..I'be been trying to rest, little man fell asleep in car, but I ended up writing...my only outlet to deal mad terade of sleepless nights..last night 4 hrs, so a vanilla latte ...mmm yummy def's time for that!
I just had a lightbulb moment that I'm not utilizing my energy efficiently..spoke to partner on phone about it..ie.get up AM night madness hours when I don't sleep to draw, write or read...then sleep in day ...when the cycle happens.
He thought it sounded a bit 😏!!
Anyhow, ramblings of mine....
Hope all are having a better day..yesterday swallowed me, I was over it!

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sometimes it's all about brain space / breathing space / processing time @Former-Member ..... I know I do that ..... in fact my mind will wake me up at around 3am if there is something that has impacted on me emotionally in the day, and I have pushed it aside to keep up with everythiing else I had to get to in the moment ......

Come 3am and my min goes ..... "Ok, now that you're not busy ..... Letta's go back and deal with this ..... !!" and my protests that I was actually busy sleeping get pushed aside .... !! 😆

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Most defs..I'm hearing you @Faith-and-Hope..I suffer same...it usually trouble worry hour, & some of them I've been over & over but yet they come back to walk their haunted broken record song...grim reapers hour of dark madness!
I wrote about her, maybe I should post these scribbles on @Silenus thread...
It's not always, but when it is ..it's a cycle of night after night...until I'm completely opposite again!
