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.

Aw kiki that sounds like a hard time for you right now, is there anything that he likes to do with you to make himself feel better, like having a quiet night in and just chatting together.

It sounds like you both need to do some self-care, especially for yourself. Is there something that you can do this afternoon to get some space and clear your head a little bit?

Take care,

Lunar

thanks Lunar ☺
he is watching movies, his fave soothing/distracting thing and i am reading (my fave!).
i really should go out for another walk but am very tired. i wish we could have hugs cause they always make me feel better but he hates being touched at the best of times and really cant bear it when he feels extra bad. tomorrow is a new day! i might plan to see a friend or 2 over the weekend so i can do a big unloading. lucky friends haha!!! thanks again xoxoxo

Hi @kiki

How are you ?

My name is PeppiPatty,

I do not know of your story, I might try and find it. ARe you a carer for your husband? Yes, I can write that definately that the Doctors would not be doing enough for him. It' so sad.

I'm also a carer for my husband. It's really hard because you always go into ......

him him him and then you but slowly slowly.....you gotta end up thinking about yourself first.

We both just came down South to visit his Father. I said to his Dad........... Well, my hubby is working now....he is a proffecional back seat driver.....

Hope your well today, Be Well,

PP
