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.

Sorry that maybe lowered the mood of everybody and I did not mean to do that. I just want to include them sometimes even though they are gone. You all have walked with me as I have expressed my pain. Thank you so much.

I hope you all have a good night @Faith-and-Hope @Smc @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Adge

All good @Appleblossom . Remembering can be bitter sweet, and sometimes best done in company. 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Smc Remembering is bitter sweet alright....

I remember very clearly what my relatives deny happened.

You never lower the mood @Appleblossom Your feelings are valid.

Food sparks so many different memories for each of us.

Thank you for your validations. All of you. It brings tears to my eyes and I no longer cry much as I had to work so hard to dam the tears. Its alright just a few drops not enough to change my plans for the day (choir in the city) which was how it used to be, once triggered. I was out of action for a couple weeks and I never knew when tears would hit.

Also glad I have not lost my ability to feel.

It is so warming to see this support here - just floating by with my chai to say hello and see how everyone is going. Hope Tuesday is treating everyone well and wanted to add some vibes of support and acknowledge your wonderful strength @Appleblossom

If anyone is around tonight, come join us at Topic Tuesday on Compassion Fatigue, I feel like a lot of you will have really great insights and advice to share to others and there may be other nice tips found too, you never know right? ☺️

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Former-Member .. I love chai.

Will try to make it to the Topic Tuesday tonight. But the timing is not great for me, and I tend to come in late. Although thats okay too.

Thanks @Former-Member Love your pic.

Cant come tonight as I have another choir rehearsal. The people in this choir are also supportive and decent to me, as a person and as a musician. So that is 2 prominent and good choirs that I feel I belong in that have fair and flexible membership criteria.

Today deserves special mention of the news released about the conviction of Cardinal George Pell.

Sadly the man does not get the consequences of his actions or the ripple effects of the toxic side of cathollic culture.

@Former-Member Hey

I love reading your posts even when they are not directed at me. It helps soften my anger and pain and I am sure a few of the good emotion words seap into the fibre of my being and gradually I am softer and not so difficult socially.
