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.

@Shaz51 - glad you are getting better. It is the same and kinda sucks sometimes you wish you could do more but you can only do so much as they allow you to.

@Spookytookims - thanks for not asking on the Sunday. I don't think I would have been a good place, particularly in the morning. I called his house Saturday and his mum picked up but he wasn;t home. Funny thing is Mum and brother did not even know he left the house. Then 2 miss calls on his phone Sunday before he messages to let me know he is fine but need more time by himself. So from that I decipher he is feeling really low/flat or something. One hand am glad he replied so i know he is alive but of course it still does not excuse fact I didn't hear for 2 weeks Hopefully he feels better this weekend and I will see him and have a chat about his actions.

@Anony18 I hope it all fixes, he is being a little unfair on you, I think. Just sayin'

@Anony18, sorry to hear that you are having a tough time. I guess it was good to get a reply from your partner albeit maybe not exactly what you had anticipated. Hope you get some sort of resolution this coming weekend.

Work sounds as if it is quite stressful and traffic problems just adds to the whole tense situation. As for having poor sleep, I can relate to that. That really takes its toll.

@Shaz51 - are you sporting the Dame Edna look or something more subtle?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Shaz51 hey anything that helps us see clearer has to be good right? (metaphorically and literally 🙂 )

@soulThank you. I am feeling a little better now. I just rebrained myself to think of those trying to make it hard for me as it being their problem. It shows immaturity and insecurity and that must be a frustrating way to live.

How's things with you? I haven't read enough of that book. I've been intending to get back to it but have been sidetracked.

Ha ha

something more subtle? @Spookytookims, @soul

It is raining here
