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.

☕️

@Faith-and-Hope You and I are in different situations and had different backgrounds. Dont take validation of my experience as an opinion of what I think is right for you. I dont have a strong opinion. I am sad you and your family are suffering. We all want a miracle cure, but ... just take care.

Appreciate it @Appleblossom .....

Whichever way our situation goes, and it could go any which way yet, it will likely still take some time .... hence “taking on a carer for the carer” .... I have an apt to start with a new therapist next week.

Veeeerry interestingly, mr.f&h has suggested that S1 takes on a “carer for the carer” in his own situation, as his wife is still so unwell with her MI ..... yet can’t see it in himself .... God love him.

Hi @peony

Come and meet some other carers. This is our virtual cafe. Suspect it might be a bit quiet here as there is a topic Tuesday on compassion fatigue (you might want to follow it or join in)😀
