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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Very dopey & tired, but getting there, thanks @Shaz51

I went to yoga class early this morning (I always do), then rather wiped out since.

I need to get my shopping motivation going - because I need to go out & get my groceries.

I never feel like doing my shopping...

How about you?

Hi @Stars and welcome

You will find everyone here very friendly and supportive. I have been really blessed with the friendship and support I have found here since arriving early this year 😊

Would you like to tell us a little about yourself?

I am here because I support my wife (aka my darling in most of my posts) who lives with borderline personality disorder. We have been married 18 years and have 3 children aged 2, 10 & 12.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Welcome @Stars to the forum. You find many of the carers on the boards posting here in this thread. I usually hang out more on the Lived Experience forum, as I have lived experience of mental illness. I am going to tag @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @PeppiPatty here to say hello too. They often pop into the virtual coffee shop to say hi (as do I). Good to have you here! 🙂

Hi @Stars,

You can start a new thread introducing yourself or just tag into an exiating thread like you have here if you feel we are talking about similar topics.

When I started out here it was with a post on the 'our stories' page.

There is also an existing thread here to introduce yourself if that makes getting started easier for you.

Hi @Stars and welcome to the forums .... 😊

You are welcome on this thread at any time. The nature of this one is more social ..... a pick-me-up, a getting-to-know-you, the occasional whinge (pick me 🤚), very whacky humour .... lol ....

To write about what is concerning you, if you can give us a bit of an idea, there may be threads more helpful for you to post in, and perhaps we can help you to find them.

Are you caring for someone, or are you a self-carer ?

Do you have a personal (lived experience) of a mental health issue or is your concern for someone else ?

Please only answer what you feel comfortable with .....

Looking forward to getting to know you .... 🌷

Added note, @Stars

If you put an @ symbol in front of someones name ( eg @Determined ) we will get a notification and know you are about 😆
