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 All

Just realised ain't doing too well right now. Got a real anxious feeling in my chest that it hurts. It been there since last night. I do know the cause or shall I say - potential causes of it and it is something that will hopefully go away...sooner rather than later. My headspace isn't right now. Trying to work but of course it is a struggle.

My aunt in Singapore had to be pulled off life support. Not sure if I told you but she collapsed 2 weeks ago from brain disease (unknown she had it!). I was half and half on going over to Singapore and last night had a push factor by my partner to say maybe he could meet me in Singapore for a few days....he is currently away so am obviously missing him. I asked Mum if she thought it be a good idea and she said no need to come. I was upset & anxious at thought that my aunt is gone but I admit I got a bit more upset given that it means I won't see my partner til my work ball (which is only a few weeks away). It is making me really guilty, & therefore more anxious, that I am getting upset by not being able to head over and see him as it is really making me feel like a horrid and selfish person.....I don't blame you all if you think that of me.

I know a few weeks isn't far away but this whole situation and the situation with my colleague a month ago makes that seem so far. For some reason I hoped he could read my mind and read in between my text this morning to return but I don't want to be selfish by asking him to cut his trip short. Did ask maybe he could skype, facetime or even just call so will see.

Right now I feel like escaping away from the city.

Am truly sorry if I am sounding so self-centred and selfish and uncaring right now. And if none of you wants to talk to me after this, I understand.

Stay positive @Anony18 .... don't let the self-doubts creep in .... swim right on past them .... 🐠🐠🐠

The anxiety is understandable. I am so sorry you have lost your aunt this way, and it's natural that you are feeling so upset. Breathe .... give yourself time .... and self-nurture ..... be good to you.

Hugs .... ❤️💕
