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 ?

Hello @Spookytookims - yes surviving an everyday thing when we have MI and/or are carers with MI. One day at the time they say and that is exactly what I been doing.

How exciting @Former-Member - do hope you get to see some. Do share your drawing if you like to and are comfortable to. I wish I was artistic like that but I am more a numbers person.

@soul - work has actually been a good distraction or should I say lately work has been a good distraction. When I had relationship issues in the past I could never function. I would be so down and concentration was lost and my work sufferred alot! I was like this even when my partner first realised he has depression almost a year ago. Now, with all the support of you lovely people, and making myself so much more self aware, I cope much better. No one can really tell anything is wrong. And work - yeah it is on my mind but not to point that I cannot focus. The only time is when I am feeling a bit lazy, ie Fridays after lunch haha.

@Faith-and-Hope - embarrassed as I thought "twilight zone" comment was meant for me and I just took it haha.

Having a very restless night. Tossing and turning. Full of doubts and fears. Regrets. Hoping it will pass and the new day will bring clarity.
