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.

Nice of you to check in @Anony18. Sounds like you are very busy but mostly enjoying life. Howdy @Shaz51@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member@MrsL

Thanks @Former-Member - it is early days for us but things have been going great with the new man. He makes me laugh and I enjoy his company. He listens to me yabber away when I do yabber away and has been there when I need him even though he doesn't realise it as yet. His dog is getting comfortable with me and she has been great to have around to calm me.

@soul - how are you? Yes busy with life but in a good way mostly. It is refreshing and I admit sometimes my overthinking brain is just waiting for the pin to drop. For the bubble to burst.

How is everyone today? Well I am sitting here behind 4 walls with no windows wondering what the day looks like. I am feeling tired as usual and feel like just going for a run to wake up and clear my head.

Morning @Hardy ..... very artistic avatar you've got there .....

Started cloudy here this morning but we've got a patch of blue sky and sunshine happening now.

@Faith-and-Hope Well I think it's time for my 3rd coffee of the day. The Avatar I chose is the way my partner looks into the nothingness that is her mind. She is blinded to all the good that is around her.

Oh dear @Hardy ..... that would be hard to deal with.

I'm in the west, so thinking about lunch here currently. Have one in bed today, placing orders with the kitchen .... lol ....

Hi @HardyI hope you did go out for that run. Exercise fills our body with beneficial endorphins and lifts our mood. Hope your day improved. Nice to meet you.

@soul @Faith-and-Hope Yes I did get out and play sport with fellow worker in the afternoon which was good for a laugh which was much needed. It's nice to meet you too soul.

I stopped and thought the other day as to how much my life has changed. Before my partner was diagnosed with mental health issues the world was a different place. Now I am able to pick up on so many people that are actually struggling with life. It hurts so much inside to think that I was so nieve to the needs of others. I have always been a very friendly person that I would take the shirt off my back for anyone who needed it and I still will. But I sometimes cringe and some of the things I thought were innocent come out of my mouth. None of which had any intent to be hurtfull.

I am really hoping that what I have been through and still going through can benifit someone within this forum.

Today will be an awesome day . . . . . why you ask ? Because I said it will be . . . lol. Sending you all out there a big warm vertual hug O
