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.

Your pond sounds lovely @Former-Member, we have a 1/2 barrel with a water lily in it but no fish. Needs constant topping up in the heat.

Yikes @Shaz51, how dreadful, I cannot imagine a yard where birds and other critters could not make themselves at home.

I’m sorry everyone but I just can’t do this anymore. She woke up so angry again today, around 30 mins ago. I knew she was tired so let her sleep. I got up, did gardening, hung a picture she wanted hung in the kitchen but she’s just being so nasty. I don’t feel safe in my own home, I’m sitting out the back garden crying. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t take her abuse anymore. This is not what life is meant to be, living in fear
