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 Darcy, I am going well taking a short break away. I am fortunate to have a caravan and travelling within my own state is good for mental health.

Hello & Hugs right back at you @Shaz51

My Yoga Centre has already been Gone (closed) for the past 4 weeks.

This afternoon they had a "Farewell Thanks Everyone Event" there - before the Lease Expires.

I'm full of Very Yummy Curried Egg Sandwiches (& Tuna Sandwiches) - So I don't think I need any Dinner (now).

You know those "Fruit on a Stick" (Skewered Fruit Pieces) Thingies? @Shaz51 @Former-Member

Well I Pulled one of those Skewered Fruit Sticks out of the Orange (that it was stuck in).

Then the entire lot (the Orange & Fruit Sticks) - all fell sideways Bang onto the table.

In the middle of the "Thank You (Farewell) Speeches".

Oh what Good Timing (I think I went Red in the Face) with embarrassment....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi Shaz51, thanks for the hello and hugs. I will be joining thr discussion tonight. I'm feeling a little anxious today especially. The "source" of my anxiety is 24 today, my youngest son. I am not seeing him tonight, his choice but will share a night with him at the end of the week. I am well aware of how to look after myself to avoid feeling stressed but sometimes it does overwhelm me. I will make myself a good cuppa and reach out to this group. Thanks again

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Well I'm finally ready for bed, physically but perhaps not mentally. As I mentioned earlier I am feeling a little more anxious tonight. Most of my stress relates to youngest son. He has undiagnosed mental health issues and self medicates rather than seek any help. I'm sure there are many other mums out there going through a similar experience. My son has asked to move back home and after 2 weeks I'm on tenterhooks already. Its his birthday today 24, but he didn't come home, we will celebrate at the end of the week. I am on the verge og seekingbsome counselling, trying to encourage my husband to join me .
