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.

Massage sounds good @Faith-and-Hope, been thinking I should go for another remedial massage, time poor at the moment though. 5 weeks and I am done for the semester so after that.

It's good to set "after that" goals @Determined .....

@Faith-and-Hope@Determined

Not going too great. Too much happening right now. Trying to sort out some imminently important financials for my parents, trip up to their end next week, daughter on tenterhooks waiting to be readmitted into private psych clinic after the first type of antidepressants did nothing for her, keeping in touch with moved-out-of-home son who's recovering from emergency department+ IV fluids gastro... and our younger daughter's guinea pig died last weekend. I miss his friendly squeakiness.

Wanna get out in the garden. I've just had a short fresh air and weed removal session, but can't stay out there because we have to head out to the accountants' office re. the parental financials. Brain's on overload...

Meh... sorry, life seems to be short on chit chat events but big on stress events ATM.

And we'll get through it... but it's no fun while we're riding it out.

Hi @Smc,

I don't think I've "met" you before, so it is nice to meet you. Just wanted to leave you a quick message to let you know that us moderators are thinking of you during what sounds like a very difficult and sometimes overwhelming time.

Glad to hear that you were able to get into the garden for a little while today, I hope you enjyed some fresh air.

Take care of yourself,

River9
