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.

Ok That's good @Former-Member i was a bit on the slippery slope but I've managed to regroup. So I'm ok. You just make sure you are. You have some rather high hills to climb at the moment.

Hi @Former-Member, you're not alone. My head was full of yucky stuff too. I went for a long two hour walk. Cleared out some of the cobwebs. How are you doing? Got any plans for the day?

@Spookytookims, no I havent read Tutle Island.

@soul - Thanks for responding. Glad your 2 hour walk helped to clear your head a little. As for plans I have for today. Well no, I dont have any plans. I cant seem to see past the immediate here and now. I'm in limbo, on the edge.

@Former-Member - try to accomplish some small task at the very least. And do something you enjoy. I plan to put some fresh music on my phone.

Hello all.

Seems like I'm always a latecomer to the conversations. 😄 Here now... bad night's sleep after something "trigger-ish" set my brain on to overload, but followed by a good, sociable morning at chuch and a sociable pizza lunch following. A few good conversations can really help sometimes, and when they're mutually beneficial, all the better. I'm getting a real mixup of good stuff/hard stuff at the moment, and very thankful that the good stuff is good enough to tip my balance back the right way.

Windy, blustery and rainy here at the moment. Might need to turn the kettle on. Haven't cleared the summertime accumulatum from around the woodstove yet so can't light it, but today's a real reminder that it's becoming an urgent task!
