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.

Hmmm, sorry to hear that @Faith-and-Hope . So there will be no easing back into things slowly for you then. Straight back into the thick of it. Sorry to hear D2 needs urgent assistance. Good luck in organising something to suit all.

Hi also @Smc @Bunniekins @Adge and @Shaz51 are you still okay with the big wet in QLD? Very concerning with things continuing to escalate it seems.

Hi @Bunniekins @Smc & everyone.

Thanks.

Yes, if I resign there is a minimum 8 week waiting period (Centrelink) for Newstart or anything.

Horticulture & Gardening is what I have the most experience in, & passion for - unfortunately my hernia, health issues (& no heavy lifting allowed) make that difficult.

My mind just keeps going around in circles - ie difficult to decide on anything, then decide, then change my decision (out of fear), etc....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Very glad to see you.

Usually it's me who tries to give those words of wisdom to other people.

At the moment, I need to hear more of that myself - although yes we can tell ourselves encouraging thoughts...

Hi @dar 👋

You are welcome on the Hot Chocolate thread here any time. Come and meet some other carers. Here is where we drop our bundle sometimes and just hang out for some company.

hello @dar

Good morning @Former-Member , @Determined , @Smc , @Adge , @Faith-and-Hope

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Good morning to you too @Shaz51 . I saw you around in the wee hours of this morning. I actually read your post around 5am my time, or 4am yours. Was going to respond but couldnt see my little phone screen clearly enough to type a response which made sense. I do hope you were eventually able to to drift off to sleep yourself? With lucky, you are still tucked up soundly in bed now, and getting the sleep you need.

Love the pics .. thank you. I hope today is an easier day for you. Hugs .......

Hello also to @Faith-and-Hope @Adge @Smc @Determined @dar
