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.

Cats make me sneeze too @Former-Member@Spookytookims. That's why I have a non shedding dog.

It was the same with my hubby's first kidney stone @Shaz51 .... the ambulance took him to hospital, and he passed it as soon as he arrived there ....

@Faith-and-Hope WH and kidney stone talking themselves out for a jog .*eyeroll* is right. Ok I'm really getting the picture now I think. That's out there. i wouldn't want my partner to go riding (his prefered exercise) if he had kidney stones. What if he collapsed out there. Nah nah. Sorry, but that would be way too worrying for me to handle.

@Former-Member Understanding the dummy spit. Im really not liking Brad Scott at the moment. They lost it in the last minute? Freo luck it in two damn weeks in a row? Grrrrr Id switch the Sydney result to a W, for a Freo L ant time, anyw where! Did I mention I REALLY don't like Freo? Now where's the dummy spit image? *insert here*

@soul Nice to see you around 🙂

@Darcy I'm sure glad I'm not allergic to cats. I was as a kid, Sneezes, itchy eyes, but I loved cats and guess I must have grown out of it cos can't really remembered what happened to that after I didn't let it stop me being around them. Yes... I was a very stubborn child. Bet that's a shocker to anyone who knows my anti-authoritarian nature.

@Anony18 Hope you are soldiering through your quagmire of doubt and limbo.

@Determined glad you had a good night out, even if it was a little tiring on your lady.

@Smc Hello to you *waves*

@Appleblossom Hello to you too

@Shaz51 Hope you are doing ok and your ear has cleared up.

Do hope everyone's day is going well and lil-caterpillar, you get home safely 🙂

Hello @Spookytookims

thank you the ear is ok now

my husband is worried about his lack of emotions today , he says it has been happening over the last month

He is cutting out his meds by half , he has tried this before but has reacted diferently each time

we thought by reducing his meds , he would feel the up and go he had before , but this time seems different

he has been talking about it and i said that I have noticed that this time is different or could it just be his Mental illness that is doing this

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Shaz51 If you want my experience you are welcome to tap into it. I was in deep dpression because of intense PTSD. I went through some really dark times, really dark. I wouldn't wish where I went on anybody, not even my antagonist. Now that said... I did not turn to medication.

the psych wanted me to and tried to make me. I even spat out my hidden meds in hospital, lying about taking them, to the nurse who asked me point blank had I taken them. Yes I know... I'm rebellious, but I know my own mind. So I can speak for where it sent me doing this without meds.

yes, there is a no emotion state associated it with it. I even think when I first joined this forum someone asked me something, no idea what it was but I clearly remember my answer because it resonated so deeply in me.... "What matters is, now I can feel."

For the longest time, I couldn't feel. So long, I forgot what is was like to be able to feel. So I don't know if that answers your question for you, but to me that's a resounding yes, it could certainly be his emtional state. Meaning his emotions are in such turmoil he literally can't feel. Sounds paradoxical, but having experienced it, that's how it worked for me.
