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.

☕️

Hi @onestepatatime 👋

This social part of the forum is more chat like. Connecting socially with others who understand is helpful for our own well-being.

In the "Something's not right" section and even in the "My stories" section we discuss the harder questions and in the "looking after ourselves" we talk about coping strategies and how we can encourage each other to tackle things we fall behind in or need help with. There are also some discussion threads where particular disorders or demographics are covered (ie caring for partners/adult children/parent).

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Decadent in this context = luxuriously self indulgent @onestepatatime
