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 ?

@Appleblossom Thanks for asking.

I was not ever wanting to live in a caravan. While it seems to now be the Aussie dream, mine is a nice house, near a beach. It could be much more fun I guess, if the company wasn't so demanding. And unbelievably insecure. He will not speak to anyone unless I'm by his side. He won't let me talk to anyone unless he's there. I don't get to go anywhere alone. He even follows me and stands outside toilets 'in case some weirdo gets me'. I've told him several times, too late, he already has. Today he's whispering answers and getting angry because I ask for the answer again. That's the newest behaviour, started a month or so ago. Yesterday, he was very beliigerent and we had a record day for angry outbursts. That's left me feeling very fragile. Plus I'm still in chronic pain after all that rain went through. I knew it was coming for days! And of course, it's irrelevant to hubby's 'must do this instantly he thinks of it' plans. It's as if he must come up with a certain number of bad behaviours, so when I call one out as unacceptable, he finds another. Enough whining, it is what it is. The sun is shining brightly today and it will be mid 20's later, after yesterday's monster storm and if I can manage to walk, I want to go down to the beach. That is very grounding and helps.

Yes @artee Beaches are wonderful and grounding .. did it for me.

You actually made me laugh with your humour about being caught by a weirdo ... it is with balck humour that a lot of grown ups manage to get through tough times. It does have a place.

Hi @Shaz51 Sorry you got the flu .. hope you can still do the booogie.

@Shaz51 hope you feel better soon. Hot chicken soup (made with real chicken) and as much chilli as you can stand will reduce symptoms and severity. Fresh lemon juice, raw honey and echinacea will also help.

You're funny faith-and-hope
did you see my poem over thread?
I'll just put it here:
"So here we all are,
another day's done
Meandering travels
work, play & love
Our minds stay alert
as our pillows call
We try to wind down
need to login once more
See what everyone's up to
maybe help a friend
But am pleasantly surprised
they help me in the end
So finally I'm sleepy
have to turn out the light
Pleasant dreams to all
and to all a good night" 😴

Just a quick hi to anyone who is up in the night.

I have woken up, but I'm still drowsy and heading back to sleep.

Hot chocolate is good for that 😊
