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.

Hey @soul
This morning I was able to get out into the garden and liberate some plants from surrounding weeds. May not sound much but it is self care that I haven't done in over a year. I think too that I have reached the acceptance stage in the cycle of grief in relation to my husband's mental health diagnosis and am feeling strong enough to know that no matter what the final diagnosis will be that I am strong enough to handle it.

Posting OK girl, if you want to tag someone (let them know you mentioned them) just add a @ in front of their name.
We serve virtual drinks and food here and generally have a bit of fun.

Welll done @Former-Member. Gardening is supposed to be very therapeutic. My thumbs are not even the palest shade of green unfortunately.

Good on you for reaching the acceptance stage. It's not easy and if you relapse just remember to be kind on yourself.

Hello and welcome to Hot Chocolate Cafe @clairesy 🙂

@Former-Member Gardening is therapeutic, not only getting in touch with mother natureut the joy of seeing the results. I think it sounds like a lot, quite a relevant acievement. And I'm sure the plants feel so much better liberated. 😛

@Former-Member hope you are doing ok and without any reality hiccips today. Feel free to post to us. 🙂
