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.

@Former-Member

That doesn't sound like a failure to me, just having a bad day,
Its a bit sad when people around you, especially family, can't be more supportive of you, but you can not feel responsible for that. Its their social inadequacy not yours.

Edit,
Sorry @Former-Member I just re read that and it did not come across the way I meant it, I was not meaning to discount how you were feeling in any way, I can see you are down about it all and my intention was- is to encourage you in that I did not see what you were saying as a failure on your part...

@Former-Member I think you mother maybe just doesn't get your art. That pic you did for turtle island was very clever it's possible I don't know cos I don't know her of course but it's a suggestion. Or she does like it she was just busy... anyhow your art is great whichever way.

The lump would be worrying... when is your doctors appointment for checkup on that? I'm sorry you have re-hurt your ankle... that sux!! Hope it is just a twist and it clears up in the next few days... but I now there are the complications of your previous injury to it.

Your sister probably thinks scaring you is funny because she doesn't realise how much it hurts you. That's sad 😞 I suppose explaining it to her wouldn't help much?

I'm sorry your puter has decided not to co-operate. Hopefully it will reboot okay and you can get your study done. I know how important that is to you so fingers crossed on that one.

Hi @Former-Member - you still around? Been a while since I seen you on this thread.

@Appleblossom - generally don't take what people say personally. I have my moments. The funny thing is I am my own worst enemy because I have a tendency at times to put myself down. To be honest the thing that gets me the most is what people say about others, particularly my friends. It upsets me more when others are targeted. I know I am odd....weird and I accept that.

@Former-Member - sorry to hear that. Sounds like you are having a bad day. Do ice and elevate your ankle. Hopefully it is a small sprain and you will heal quickly. In terms of your sister, if she knows how it impacts you, she should really be more aware of your feelings. For your mum, try not to think that she thinks your art is bad. It might be that she is not into art and so does not appreciate it. I have friends who just see a painting/drawing etc as its face value and not into the "soul" of the art.

Hi @Shaz51 - Busy day. Running around. Have not stopped and chance to attempt to reach out to my partner. Good in the sense cause it keeps me away from those thoughts. Did a bit of online shopping - naughty me! How has your day been? Ear still blocked? xx
