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.

Hmmm, hormonal would be possible. I've definitely hit menopause.

Which is a bit weird. I'm not quite 49 and look younger. 😜

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

@Smc I have been "working with" my self as a heat pump for a while.

Was told today at the zoo I was "rugged" but that was just cos all the "big enough" raincoats had gone. Survived encounter fine just had cold legs. So not too bad.

Sorry @Former-Member I am feeling seriously invalidated by your comment, being told to dance when I am very anxious & agitated. Such invalidation has been a frequent theme in my life. I have never needed it.

Nah ... a bit premature to dance.

Apologies @Appleblossom, I was referring more to myself, how i feel i should cpe, and trying to be funny / sarcastic or something (being one of the lighter threads. Probably out of context as I hadn't read all your posts. Of cause I don't want to invalidate anyone's pain, would you like me to edit it? Really hope it didn't throw your day out. 😢

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thank you for your timely reply and apology. @Former-Member

Often people mean well and I respect the difficulties of walking the line of humour and the get it together mentality.

It did not throw my day out. I was having a melt down and prn day from last night, not your post, but I am very raw despite all the chemical "help".
