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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Slow night here tonight @Former-Member .... I have run out of steam for the moment, so not doing much, just relaxing. There is a doco on about Walt Disney which D2 and I are watching.

So sorry you hear it's a sucky night for you @Anastasia. Have you got some self-care items at hand ? Hand cream is one I reach for ..... probably not as often as I should. Something to distract in terms of music or something to watch on tv ? It doesn't make the sucky stuff go away, but it's being a friend to yourself in a time if need.

Hugs ❣️

I hope things sort out a bit better for you now @outlander.

Sorry that you have had a stressful day too @Shaz51

Heater is on here, and I am reaching for a hot chicolate. Anyone else want one ?

Hello @outlander

Thank you 😘

Hello @Former-Member

Big relapse for my boy. Thought we were on track. I'm not coping tonight. Back to hospital again next week for the sixth time. Wishing for a magic wand for many reasons. Thanks for listening, I appreciate you x

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank you. I don't really know what to do right now. It's hard to care for someone when I can barely care for myself. Rough night has tipped me off the axis a bit.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Anastasia Yeah that's really rough, I hope you're able to find some time for yourself at some point. I dunno if it'll help, but you can always have a chat to the folks over at Family Drug Support, they have a helpline open 24/7 (1300 368 186).

Thank you @Jynx ❤️

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Faith-and-Hope chocolate (without the hot) sounds good, Milo tin + teaspoon would suffice 😁.

@Anastasia 6th admission = ☹️ crisis mode = ☹️

Perhaps a little something to go with your hot choc might be in order.

@outlander let us know what virtual treats are suitable for you.

@Former-Member they look so good!

Yes crisis is the state of things. Grateful for this forum and your kind words x
