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.

So sorry to hear it @Appleblossom .....

Remember your breathing. Shallow breathing results from anxiety and worry. I know you already know, but when you catch yourself shallow-breathing, stop and take some long, slow, deep breaths because it will help to calm your thoughts and body, and the anxious feelings.

Make a list of what you can do, and another one of what you can't do ..... make the can-do your to-do, and the can't-do - literally "stick a pin in it" ...... pin it, tape it, magnet it to the fridge, something ..... and when your mind wanders to that list remind it that there's "a pin in it" and it's parked up for a time when the situation has changed and you can transfer an item or two from there to your can-do list, but now is not that time.

Float when you are too tired to swim ......

Have a day ..... it doesn't have to be a brilliant day, it just needs to be a day .......

Big hugs incoming @Appleblossom 💖💖💖
