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 @Shaz51. So pleased to hear you are okay. I know the story is not so good further South, but the last I heard is that the cyclone had been downgraded from a Cat 4 to a Cat 3. But there is a lot of damage already in some areas obviously.

Wow you do have a busy week, hopefully the weather doesnt interfere with any of that.

Take care.

@Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Former-Member - I will catch up with you all again in a week's time when I get back home.

Well @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Determined @Smc today was a little bit stressful because my partner had a meeting at work that was to hand out redundancies, luckily though, his job is safe for the moment, so dodged some stress on that one.

Soooo.... now it's time for a few sandwiches and some:

Been over at the Topic Tuesday. Didn't realise there was one on tonight. Lots of interesting stuff discussed there. Check it out if you feel inclined. Was about Recognising and Managing Mania.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

thanks @soul I'll have a read through the thread. I saw that mentioned but thought it was next week. Wouldn't have had anythig to contribute though, I wouldn't think, so reading the thread is probably just as good. Just need to go find it. 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Former-Member - thanks for asking. Right now...I gave a splitting headache that has come outta nowhere 😖 But so far it is a bit better. Work wise is less painful, let's hope stays that way. Been so tired though of late. Not sure why...even when I do sleep early. Saying that I wake up in middle of night suddenly so that could be the reason. Yes no talk yet. The messages appear still undelivered and his phone appears off....kind of worrying 🤔 But will give it few more tries during the week and then by the end of week may have to call his house or reach out to his sister in Sydney.

Handing out redundancies is really hard. It's a tough thing to do but needs be done and at same time you feel guilty cause you feel relieved to still gave your job. Hope your partner is going ok.
