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 ?

They are such pretty pictures @Former-Member

@Spookytookims - yes it is a bit of getting use to my avatar especially given I have gone "faceless" for months. In terms of my partner, trust me there are days where I don't know how I do it either. I think past me, the me 6 months ago would be melting down everyday, probably calling him every minute of every hour etc. Me, now, better....still call him a no of times a day and send text etc. I know that extreme actions (sorry to use such a word!) will need be taken if he doesn't respond even if he doesn't like eg just showing up at his house. Sounds invasive but what is one suppose to do? Think the problem with me is that:

  • I am loyal to the bone (just like the puppy!).
  • If things are to end (at least if it was me who ended it), I would do it in person.
  • Until the words "this is over!" is said then we are still together.

Don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing...maybe a bit of both.

Work is not distracting me as much today unfortunately. Surviving but probably not as well as I was yesterday.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Wow @Former-Member - that scenery is beautiful. I want to be there. I'm actually heading up to a little piece of paradise this weekend. It's the anniversary of my father's passing and I am going to scatter the remainder of his ashes. Most were spread there but I had this idea that I wanted to take some to his place of birth but I can't see that happening ever.
