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.

Definitely a cup of that strong coffee here for me @Former-Member ....

My D3 was a brat last night .... woke me up by text cos she "couldn't sleep with her sore neck" and had decided to go for a shower to try to ease it at 2:00am .... it's actually this pain psychosis again .... she wants to use her sore neck as a reason for being very late for school, or not going at all ..... which she seriously can't afford to do if she wants to graduate ....

There was no value for her in waking me up, other than to underscore for this morning that she would be late .... but she doesn't start until second period on Mondays anyway ... so it tells me she intends to be later than that !!

Grrrr .... !!

Strong coffee is going to be needed to get me through this day ...

Thanks for being here .... so nice to wake up to a friend ....

Hi @Tessie @Ceebubbles

Up for a virtual coffee ?

Come an meet some of the regulars here if you like .... it's a bit of a social drop-in corner where you can just chat a bit and get to know some other carers.

☕️😊

@Faith-and-Hope,

Hi, you sound like your doing an amazing job being in the now to get better results in the future. No doubt it takes all sorts of strengths to ride out larger families when each person brings something to the table. I hope what ever you are wheathering out soon settles for you. I admire your strength and acceptance of the here and now, it is hard. Just sending warm thoughts your way.

Thank you @Ceebubbles

You will find there are such strong and courageous people on the forums here, struggling with such diverse circumstances, there really is strength in numbers ..... the compassion and empathy is something that we all contribute to, and draw from.

I wish you all the best in coming to terms with your situation too, and developing strategies to move forward ....
