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.

Depending on who asked I can understand that statement getting under his skin @Shaz51

I have had some pretty ignorant advice/ feedback from people who have no idea.

Hey @Shaz51 Sorry to hear that. I know people generally don't mean anything when using the typical small talk etc, most probably aren't really even very aware of what they are saying - not helpful when speaking to someone with high sensitivities though.... I find it so hard when Ms 19 is upset by things like that, mostly because there is nothing much I can do to make it easier for her. It takes her longer than others, but she does process it.

I hope you & Mr Shaz can find some nice kind of distraction to help re-focus. Do you think there might be an opportunity to revisit later & talk about ways that you each take care of the other? Maybe there are things he does or can do, so that he feels like he does take care of you too in some way?

Hugs
