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.

oh sorry @Shaz51, I didn't link you into my greeting Maybe cos I erroneously thought spooky stories wouldn't be your thing. How presumptuous of me! Forgive me I feel just awful right now. 😳

Hello to you, and I hope you are doing well. Despite my horrible faux pas. 😞

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

oh my gosh... there is just so much to process in these posts from you all. It has just opened my eyes to something within myself... for those who have been with me since the early days.... I think I just found my new "set" of Russian Dolls. Maybe that is what last night was about, maybe it's a saying ok you have done enough of that side of your :pile_of_poo: now.... here... deal with this side.

Yes, I'm rambling... ok.... about to sit down with one of those lovely hot chockies @Smc linked us too and try to "answer" in some kind of methodical way. After all that is done.. I still have my spooky action at a distance to tell you all about 😛

Oh so much. So prepare yourself gals! 👀

No worries my friend @Former-Member

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Anony18 Well .... my gosh... I don't even know where to begin, my brain is scambled. This is the part of my "story" I have not addressed, even in myself, obviously. And my core reaction to it is very surprising. Yes... I believe you have inadvertently handed me my next lot of Russian Dolls. That is.... dealing with the :pile_of_poo: trying to help my antagonist caused, his inability to discuss any problems and his unwillingness to change despite his countless promises to do so. That all along with his self denial and total disregqrd for anything or anyone but himself.

OK... .that's NOT you.. not saying it is, not for a moment.... I sure hope you don't have that.. but I think it was the kind of "tip toeing" effect of your post, the catering to him. Your thoughtfulness for his reactions and assessment of what you should or shouldn't do because of those, that brought up my old experiences.

One thing I can identify one on one with you on is that "limbo". That not knowing wth is going on and wondering what is or isn't happening and what is or isn't going to happen. That is when the brain just won't switch off and we get no peace at all because of the possibilities and unknowns running through our head. One way or another, you need to find out because that unknown is really not a good state to be in.

Well I don't think it is anyhow, so I hope you have managed to alleviate that by now, if not, post here because you if you aren't talking to anyone about it right now that's just not a good thing.

*steps down from soap box and takes sip of hot chockie, wiping cream from her upper lip* yum.. that's a good hot chockie right there.
