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.

Serious stuff Determined can you see if someone can help with the boys to enable you to get some rest?

Both mums are being a big help @Former-Member, its more the lack of sleep at night.

Darling has been given weekend leave and I am anxious about how it is going to go. Not that I dont want her home, I just dont think she is well enough or that I have the capacity to support her. And I am behind on assesment even with the extension on the current piece that was due today.

Hello everyone. Finally found the thread @Faith-and-Hope. It is a major move and change for you, but could potentially be a positive change for all I think. WH would not have to worry so much about living up to family expectations, interference etc which may help him to face his issues?

I have full confidence that whatever is thrown your way you will have the capacity to cope as you have always done. Could be the start to family healing and better times ahead. Very hopeful 😊🌹

Hi @Determined - I hope you can manage to catch up on some much needed sleep my friend. Burning the candle at both ends never ends well in my experience - mental/physical health suffers. What is keeping you awake at night? (sorry if you are repeating yourself, new to the thread). I can suffer insomnia- I will take something if needed as the consequences of sleep deprivation make me unable to cope. Hope your wife feels better soon so all the family can get their lives back on track. It's not an easy road I know.
