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.

Hi @Smc
I feel lucky we had 4 weeks in a private hospital clinic for my partner - it was hard to get that organised and lots of waiting and admin stuff ups .. I can relate to your experience with your daughter not responding to meds as my partner is ‘medication resistant ‘ or something like that so it’s lots of trial and error ... friends and family are convinced that the psychiatrists are amateurish BUT from my reading it seems that psychiatric medication is far from a simple matter and there are no easy solutions one size fits all .... I am definitely burnt out - feel like crying all the time and feeling very frozen ... I will make an appt with my new psychologist today for asap for myself as I’m totally overwhelmed with the whole clinic stay experience and a restructure at work and coronial documents arriving from my step fathers tragic passing in January this year - I’m feeling broken right now and not sure when I’ll get my mojo back

Random question - the Like button doesn’t work for me - is that a problem anyone else has had ?

Hi @Mandy1 .....

On mobile phones the Like button doesn't show up until you refresh the page, so it's a bit hard to know whether it has registered or not ..... just flicking the page over one, then back again will usually tell you.

It seems to be a tech glitch that has been around for a while.

Evening all,

Heading out to a school function tonight. S2 is singing in school choir and playing a guitar solo. Give him A+ for confidence on the guitar as Im not sure he is quite there yet but he is keen so good on him and we couldn't be more proud 😆 I defiantly didn't have the confidence to do anything like that at his age.
