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 everyone. Have to get through the posts on this forum after I shower. But there is a bush fire about 10 mins from me. I smelt and saw it around 6pm and now it appears to be worst as i drove past after dance about 8.45pm. Think few families nearby been evacuated because of the smoke. Bad visibility on the road. Wondering how it started given how cold it is here and there has not been any lightning. Hope everyone will ok and the fire brigade puts it out soon enough 😐

@Former-Memberit wasn't your fault. I'm sorry.. it just was sooo spooky what you posted, I cannot explain because of the anonymity thing.. but if you knew you would go OMG I don't believe that. Just one of those 1 in 10000000000000 chance happenstance I guess.

I just made this profile to say please don't worry, it was not your fault.

I'm guessing what it was, and I guessed it at the time, but thought it was too incredible to be true ....

🤗 Hugs you .... ❣

And @Former-Member ..... 🤗💕

Hi everyone. Just caught up with all the posts.

@Spookytookims - i hope you are ok. Big hugs!!! Great work on the meatloaf. I am not that great of a cook, probably because I hardly cook as Mum or my brothers do it for me. Not to say I can't. Boiling water counts right? Jokes...I can cook using recipes just may not turn out as tasty or as presentable as the pictures do.

@Determined - good luck for tomorrow. Definitely will be missed greatly on the forums, even if it is just for one day! Completely understand where all the energy from the days before just suddenly fade and you feel flat. Hope you get a good rest tonight.

@Shaz51 - you are so kind to be thinking of me. Today has been a bit flat or flatter compared to the past couple days. Work has been stressful, with unending queries. It feels never ending that it has caused me to get anxious. So anxious that I have become so disheveled. Took the wrong train & I think I have lost my water bottle as well (either on the train or left it at the clients without realising...tomorrow will tell).

I want to make a comment to all of you in this forum....call it a warm fuzzy if you like. Because of you all, I am coping so much better than I probably would without this place. I still stress and get anxious at times, particularly about my partner, his MI and uncertainty what comes next but I believe I am in a much better place, not in constant anxious/stress mode because of this forum. Despite you all having your own issues, all of you are such sweet and caring people I ever met. So selfless and such an inspiration. Love you all

Thanks @Anony18 I'm not really ok.. but I'm trying to think through some :pile_of_poo: I think your :pile_of_poo: is worse than my :pile_of_poo: .. mine's just been building and building over the last days with no outlet and the volcano erupted with a 1 in a gazillion chance post.

@Faith-and-Hope you know something.. I just found a thread posted yesterday over in the lived in section.. This issue has been making me feel extremely uneasy over the past few days I am glad it has finally been addressed by the mods. Between Suzanne's and Utopia's posts it pretty much expresses what I have felt since I first saw it happening and I wondered why it was allowed to go on.

Have you seen this? Because I don't see a like or comment from you on it and I would have thought if you had seen it you would have acknowledged it in some way. I could be wrong.. perhaps you saw it and just didn't want to put your "stamp" on it so to speak.... but anyhow.. just in case you have not seen it, this is the thread/ post I am talking about:

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Spookytookims - I don't know whose :pile_of_poo: is worst but irregardless it's :pile_of_poo: nonetheless. It is alright to say it's not ok and hope you work through it eventually. Am here all the same 🤗 Even if it's slowly hopefully it's surely. As @Former-Member said be gentle on yourself. I am off to bed my friend. Do hope you manage to get some rest xx
