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.

lol @Appleblossom do you mean because you shoot yourself in the foot less you should be able to hobble down the path a little better? If so.. yes I would think so. However if you were being more esoteric... care to elaborate? 😛

and aha yes... quantum physics.. . hence "spooky action at a distance" the Einstein relativity / Bohr debate 😛 see all synchronistic hahahaha.

@Former-Member - I was right you do have the 3rd eye. Or is it sixth sense. I never know the difference. For me if foresight comes in a dream I think it is better than a mist in reality. I guess for me dreams are bit better. Though I have cried and screamed from my dreams to be woken up by someone. I be dazed and say "whatup? everything ok?"

@Faith-and-Hope - you just spoke to me. More so when people are down. I can sense something is wrong. And their emotions just causes me to feel down sometimes. Am completely agree with watching what I say. On a grumpy day sometimes I am way too blunt -_-

To everyone else - HELLLOOOOO

I just came back from dance. The director of dance company came in to watch and guess what i had a MIND BLANK. So she gave a speech to the class about really thinking if we are of intermediate level and should we go down to beginner etc. So not something that was gonna lift my spirits up. I know i struggle slightly but in beginner I get so bored. Today is just not a good day

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope 💓 I hope so too. Know a huge part is to get out of this limbo with my partner. But right now doesn't feel right for me to reach out just yet. Give him a couple more days to rest up. Back into the office today and got to put on my Joyful, energetic smiley face. Putting in this facade. Good thing is PT tonight. He knows about my issue so it be great. And then social tennis which is going to distract me for sure. I know in tennis i won'tbe judged like yesterday's dance class.

How are you my friend and what are plans on the cold Tuesday morning? I do love the smell of the cold air I have to say.

@Anony18, I play violin/viola, and I know that if I have an "off" day and play badly, I kick myself for it for ages afterwards, and sometimes really agonise and feel like I've let people down. Meanwhile, compliments about my playing, although nice, don't make as much of a mental impact for me. I have to remind myself not to let it get too unbalanced. Maybe you're the same. Last week or next week, you would probably look like you were in exactly the class you should be in. Be gentle with yourself. 🙂

Hi everyone .... 😊💕

Took myself out for breakfast this morning @Anony18, then for a walk, then to the doctor to see about an after-effect of the flu we have a few weeks ago.

Now I'm in a foot massage. When I feel rattled by our situation it is one of the self-care things I do to help lift me up again.

Hi @Smc - I think just having a bad week so everything gets me down so easily. I sometimes do stuff up but I do not think too much about it. But for some reason yesterday's events got the better of me.

@Faith-and-Hope - ohhhh a foot massage. That is so exciting. I went for a reflexology a week and a bit ago. Fell asleep haha. The weather isn't looking too good today means probably no tennis

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@CherryBombThe CBT/Mindful thread is closed so I am using this thread to send you my thanks for chairing, and I am assuming in some way organising, the special event tonight. What an insightful and thought provoking session, and everyone's input just made those couple of hours fly by. Really great information given and exchanged. Thankyou so much.

Tooky.
