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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All. Busy busy day from brunch with family then work and then caught up with friend. Decided quick check in before sleep time. It's gonna be a busy week at work this week.

@Faith-and-Hope - haha spell check gotta love them 😂 I don't live close to the beach unfortunately but Iately I tend to go towards uni and walk by the riverside. That's why if I have to work - I enjoy working at uni on weekends than in office. Walk off the stress after. Today though I couldn't walk as I had go mass. I slept in so missed morning mass. But Mother Nature was sooo kind. After mass as I was driving I saw the BIG BIG MOON. It was massive and so pretty. Breathtaking 💕🌷😍

Hi all ....

Could go a second coffee ..... ☕️😜

Got detox symptoms happening today .... indicates I'm losing more weight around my abs .... yay ❣ .... but make me feel really crook in the process ..... 😖 .... headache, lethargy, flu symptoms, nausea .... for 24 hours approx.

Coffee seems to slow it down a bit .... stop a full-on Herxheimer reaction ....

Hey Hello @Shimmer xx

I have been thinking today that it is going to take time for the self-care to kick in as i have been trying to please everyone for soo long '

But this afternoon I made a cup of tea and then sat out on the front steps , when I drunk half of the cup of tea , I thought of what you @Shimmer and @NikNik said and then I relised how really nice it was just sitting there

Hi @Shaz51, yes it might take a while to internalise the concept of self-care since you've been focused on others for so long, but it is certainly a worthwhile process! Great that you had a "mindful moment" enjoying your cup of tea outside

@Faith-and-Hope I really identify with that polar bear today!

Hi @Shimmer ..... 😊

I'm not feeling a lot better this morning, but I hope it wears off across the day .... I have had a few bouts of this in the last few weeks which, while it is really uncomfortable, is also progressive ....

Have a good day everyone .... ☕️😊
