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 ?

The skies are turning blue at my end @Faith-and-Hope Am down in the east side for work. As I drove to work it was grey! Pity i don't have a view but it is ok. How has things been with you?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm doing okay @Anony18 ..... thanks for asking.

We have encountered a lot of turbulence now on our path to getting WH's e.d. outed, and it's pretty scary at the moment, but no familybor couokes counselling appointments are in pace yet, and hopefully my S2 will talk about it in his counselling sesh tomorrow and validate my claim to the pdoc ......

Have to wait and see what the fall-out of that is next before I get too concerned about future appointments ..... it might just all come out in the wash quite naturally and in the best possible way.

That is what I have got my faith pinned on ......

Baby steps ......

Breathing my way through it .......

With coffee In hand ...... lol ...... ❣️

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Definitely baby steps @Faith-and-Hope. Always helps with a nice hot cuppa in your hand alright!

Hopefully S2 does have a chat about it in his session. But definitely try not to worry about the future. Just deal with it when and IF it comes.

Thinking of you as you approach this new phase @Faith-and-Hope

The uncertainty of it all sounds rather concerning for you.

Morning @Anony18, trust you are settling into the new job ok.

Rain has just cleared here...has been raining all night and all morning... psycing myself up now to go for a walk for some fresh air before getting back into some study for my next exam. 1 week and counting.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I am settling in fine @Determined. Thanks for asking. Have an earlier start with half hour lunch break but this is so I can get every 2nd Friday off....so not complaining. It is close to home as well.

Good luck with studying. Me personally will struggle with studying as I have a huge tendency to procrastinate.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank @Determined.

It's looking pretty intimidating at the moment, but I have had a lifetime of walking through intimidating circumstances, and they don't usually stay that way ..... they are transient.
