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.

Yeah, maybe more of a man thing rather than a mental illness thing! 😉

Part 2 Sorry hit the wrong button. Maybe if you ask for a hug from him that might take the pressure off to talk about it some more.

Cheers

I did and I think he finally got it! He says that he cannot do anything in that situation and I said all I need is a big hug and for you to be gentle and kind 🙂

I just wantvto say 'bl_ _ dy men' but that's not very christian. My mum use to play the damsel in distress thing that worked on dad. I have a sister in law that was expert at 'dumb blind' but both knew what they were doing. Men seem to like to feel needed & trusted. Not east for some of us. To trust & lean. Haha

You OK F&H?

Hahaha, yeah - I am pretty straight down the line really! Plus I don't like the men against women thing - we all have our good and bad points 🙂 Oh well, baby is asleep and I better get on with some work while I have the chance! All the best for today everyone. Will check in soon 🙂
