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.

Yep. Really hard to do the "right" thing sometimes. But worse long term if we don't. Definitely feeling for you. Horrible situation to be in @Anony18. Would just be easier if the empathy wasn't all one way but sadly life doesn't always do the "better" thing and we face really hard dilemmas.

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.

this is a very healthy approach for both of you. nothing is permanent. everything is changeable. as i am writing this to you i am reading it out loud to myself. it is helping for me. i hope it helps you.
