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.

I know , it is hard because he has back pain and very tired , but he sees jobs to be done but he feels he has to push himself , but when he pushes himself he gets verrry tired and sleeps

but if he does not push himself and sleeps , he gets anxious, guitly, depressed , ect

LoL @Former-Member, I don't usually do man flu but anything is possible in my current emotional state. Have not felt this bad in a couple of years so yes feeling a little precious at the moment.

I usually try and push through when I should take a break. (Always in trouble for sharing it around when I should be stopping at home), dont have the energy to push through at the moment.

@Shaz51, my friend, hubby 60yo had similar symptoms (like chronic fatigue) - he had dramatically low cortisol & testosterone. Normalising these helped a lot, during the process they diagnosed diabetes (not severe) but change in diet re sugar has helped too. 💜🌿
