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.

@Former-Member - thanks for your concern. I did get back to sleep for a bit and had a power nap during the day as well. Had two of those croissants from your wonderful breakfast spread. They were delicious.

I went to see my psychologist this afternoon. We began tackling the trauma issue and it got pretty tense. Baby steps. She gave me some good strategies.

Oh @soul That's great news! I honestly think it has to be baby steps, my bab dolls are my baby steps.

If you want to put more detail post on my Tooky Clipart thread. I just wish the niknik stuff wasnt there, it has kinda spoiled it for me. Not sure why all that wasn't just deleted... think she just hates me... lol

but anyhow.. 😛

Hi everyone .... 😊💕

@Former-Member .... if there is something you would like to have lifted out of your other thread, ask the mods to do it for you .... if something has been dealt with and you don't want all the sorting out on display there, that's a reasonable request to make.

Well spotted re my rose. The original one was a "watercolour" tattoo image I found on the net. This one s one that I have painted, so it's far more personal.

No, I haven't swum with dolphins, but Zi have seen and unreliable display in the foreshore bay there where a pod of dolphins came bounding in and put on an incredible display when the grassed area was packed with people, and they all went running over to hang off the fence, clapping and cheering.

I expect it was the performing dolphins that were released from the Yanchep water park many years before because it was so "choreographed" .... maybe having birthed new members to their pod and taught them all the tricks they had learned. It was absolutely incredible.

@Smc .... I can relate .... running on low at the moment myself while WH is away .... have to protect from burn-out. Just shut myself in my room away from D3 throwing a tanty ....

Hugs @soul ..... 🤗💐

@Faith-and-Hope Yes very much I'd like it gone, it's triggering. How do I got about asking then? Whenever I send emails to mods they seem to be ignored so I don't see how I am supposed to be able to do it. I would have thought it would be a no brainer to have taken it off. Other things are taken down that are far less negatively impacting.

And so glad I wasn't going crazy re your avatar... I have been thinking to myself... "she's changed that, I'm sure she has changed that" but kept forgetting to ask 😄

How fantastic re the dolphin show.... that's just nothing but a "wow" moment. How beautiful and special. 😉

@Faith-and-Hope - ohhh one day i will need travel to see these dolphins.

@Shaz51 - bladder infections are not great but hopefully you feel its bit better than kidney infection. I never had a kidney infection so unfortunately don't know the different feelings but hate it when I have UTI. I take cranberry pills regularly to prevent that.

@Smc - sorry to hear you feeling flat and low. We are all here when you ready. Sometimes just quiet time is great. I know I have those moments. Big hugs in meantime

@Former-Member - I think cause i am superbly busy myself plus i have experienced this in past, but more so the busy-ness right now hence why I am going ok. Though I am really anxious at moment. Work has triggered this feeling today. Feel disheveled that I took the wrong train line 😣 On the right train now rushing for dance. The anxiousness doesn't help because it making me paranoid about the worst of my partner, ie something bad has happened.

@Former-Member .... are you on iPad ?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Anony18 superbly busy? lol well that's good then...and very happy you have managed to source the right train! That could definitely help get you where you want to be going 😄 Still hoping it all works out, re the other thing, it's unlikely or you would have heard something from someone else surely? Just trying to reassure you on that one... plus coincidence... so hope that is all too unlikely.. hope.

@Faith-and-Hope right now I'm on my macbook, but I change devices quite regularly, often on ipad. Why?

@Former-Member if you can find the "Report Inappropriate Content" button to the side of a post and click on it, it will give you a box to contact the mods. You can simply ask to have that particular post removed. There is also a tab next to the Edit tab for Request Post Removal.

See how you go.

I asked because I believe it doesn't come up on a phone.
