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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

How exciting @Former-Member - be heading to Canberra with Mum in couple weeks. Just for the weekend. Have to plan it. On my agenda tonight along with applying for a job.

Thanks @Shaz51 - as I said in the other thread represents me alot. Like a puppy. May get hurt but still gives alot of love...at least I think I am that way. And my late father use to say that too about me. Not sure why it took me such a long time to put an avatar up.

@Spookytookims - it is really hard. It sucks that I have my morals as well. Til one of us say this relationship is over in my mind we are still together and he knows that is what I think as my messages to him makes references such as boyfriend and girlfriend. He has not disputed anything. My really close friends who I confided in said they would not know what to do in my situation and not sure how I am "sane". I said it isn't easy but I use my sports and tv as an escape so am not constantly thinking about it. I have my moments.

@Anony18 omg how cute is that avatar! and absolutely.. and great you have those things to distract your mind or it could get obsessive under the circumstances. Hope it works out soon though.

@Shaz51 howdee doodee for today, don't think I've caught you yet so here it is 🙂

@Former-Member There's something I wanted to say to you but it's flown out of my head at the moment.. so helloo and how are you! If I remember I'll throw it in 😉

@Determined been meaning to say, your family time sounds just gorgeous. 👍

Thanks @Spookytookims - you, me and a whole lot of others are hoping this gets sorted soon. My instinct is really really high today that something big is happening with him/ at home. I know he has his grandma's will to deal with and his family in east coast are being nasty about it. Let's say I am not obsessive but am currently running out of patience which is driving me to just pester him like crazy. But who can blame me right?

@Spookytookims

How are you?

Memory - something to do with books vs electronic devices perhaps, I do skim on the latter but am getting better at not doing so.

Have a friend coming over for tea so won't be about tonight.

Hi @Anony18 - your profile pic is too cute. Hope you get your relationship status sorted out. It's frustrating not knowing where you stand. I can see that you don't want to come across as too interfering but by the same token, you want to know what is going on. Confusing times for you and him as well it seems.
