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.

Hello All

Sure could use some chamomile tea right now to calm my nerves down. But then again might make me fall asleep which I can't as got to work work work.

Weather was so rainy and cold this morning but it looks sunny outside. Oh I wish I could be outside than stuck in this office. Kinda in low spirits today

Thanks @Shaz51

Just left the office and the sun was shining after the dreary wet morning. Got an maple pecan braid to fill my tummy before my PT session...oh how I love sweet things.

The mood in the afternoon got better when my partner replied to my message saying he is alive but obviously hasn't been the best with family and all. Wish could see him but I know now from these forums that dealing with a person with mental health just got to be available not invasive. It's tough but I have my activities to keep me going and keep my moods up.

My dance concert is coming up in 2 months time. I am so nervous.

Hello @Anony18

I have found the forum very helpful-

but I know now from these forums that dealing with a person with mental health just got to be available not invasive. -- yes and it is tough

Hi @Shaz51

Definitely is tough - some days even more. I am definitely glad I have my outside activities. Keeps my mind off things. Talking about activities went to watch Sausage Party in the bean bag cinema. Such a silly film but made me laugh and not one that requires thinking. Best for days when your brain is tired.

Am off to bed now. All rugged up in my bathrobe.

Hello @Anony18

Medications has made a difference in my Husband, took a long time

Sausage Party in the bean bag cinema -- that sounds interesting @Anony18, It is sooo good to have a laugh , good for the soul they say

hope you are having an ok day today

Hi @Shaz51

Was it a good difference or should I say positive? I don't know much about meds something I will research into if my partner does tell me what he on. But I remember him saying he has meds that numbs the emotions and makes him drowsy since his mind races.

Yeah it is interesting and dangerous if you are tired cause you could fall asleep ☺️ Definitely won't wanna drink chamomile tea before watching a movie there!

My day here just starting and it is looking like a good one despite the weather. My partner messaged asking if he could come over for a couple hrs. Said he doesn't feel like talking much just cuddle which is understandable given he has said he hasn't really been best with family problems. Then I have high tea with my girlfriends - dessert galore!

How has your day been?

Hi @Anony18

when he was on anti depressants meds , nothing changed but the doctors have put him on anti anxiety meds as well

there are some postive difference ,which is good , but there are other changes because of the meds

I found it good to know what he is on , doing the research and helping him through together

I have found just being there for him is the best , sitting with him and cuddles , not talking

I find if i am calm , he is calm and relaxed ,

Have a great afternoon

I am doing ok, catching up on some cleaning
