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.

A quick tea please@Faith-and-Hope, I don't know if I'm anxious, overwhelmed...feeling a bit agitated I guess, mix with paranoia, fighting triggers at school, pushing past it..maybe I'm disassociating to cope with week events ahead...grr. going to busy myself!

Beautiful mountain tea sounds :ok_hand:! @Faith-and-Hope..hmm I will bring up at my sesh tomorrow..horrible state..no matter..I wonder if it's normal to be paranoid or if anxiety plummets when exposed to groups I don't click with..

Think we all feel some paranoia under those circumstances @Former-Member ..... but you know what ? People like that are so self absorbed that their focus doesn't stay on you or anyone else ..... they are so insecure or mirror-bound you're off their radar .....

Try to switch off from it if you can. Your attention is better spent on gorgeous people who you love and who love you .... or at least on those in more need whom you can help support in their circumstances, even with just a smile on a cloudy day !

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

Just read your post about the wedding. Glad to hear it went well and beautifully. A great big event is not a proper one with some minor hiccups. That's what I think anyway End of day it is about the people there who make it great and the atmosphere...what beautfiul weather was it here in WA over the weekend!

I am ok. Really tired. Had the dance rehearsal yesterday from 12pm to 11pm. The concert is on Wednesday and that be a bigger day! My dance teacher sent me a message saying people were commenting on how amazing I was. It was such a warm fuzzy.

On another note - haven't heard from my partner in over a week and not sure if he be back for my concert. I do hope he is coming cause be nice for him see me dance & hope that puts a smile to his face. Surprisingly I haven't been angry or upset about his lack of contact or response to my text. More concern. Of course i have those rare moments I am sad cause more so I miss him terribly and the uncertainty when I will see him next so there isn't any countdown (if that makes sense).

Maybe I am feeling a bit more at peace cause I know he was overseas a week ago and he mentioned he may stay longer. Cause of things at home and his depression he is currently feeling need to be away from Perth. But then again maybe it is cause I made the decision to take things day by day instead. I am unsure if I am being silly not feeling upset or angry.
