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 ?

Hi @Stars, welcome aboard.

I've been a carer, along with my husband, for an adult daughter with long term severe mental health issues, and I've also got elderly parents in aged care in their home town 400kms away... Dealing with depression myself as a result, but feel more at home chatting on the carers side of the forums. Keen gardener, like a good laugh (both help to keep me together). Four kids all up, but three including beforementioned daughter have grown up and moved out. One teenage daughter still at home with us.

Won't be chatting any more tonight, 'tis my bedtime. Catch you some other time.

Good morning everyone,

Grey heavy morning here, looking like it might rain again, I always feel heavy and lethargic on days like this, not helpful when there is work to be done.
Trust everyone has a nice day ahead 🙂 Another day trapped in front of the computer for me...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thanks @Shaz51. Lovely to see you again too. Its been a while. And a very difficult while too. Hubby has been in hospital for the past 16 days, down in the City. Was hoping he'd be transferred back to our local hospital this morning, but it wasnt to be. Hopefully tomorrow. He has been most unwell. I will go into more detail when I update my carers thread over the coming days.

Hi to everyone else here, many of whom I know, and some new since I was last on. @Faith-and-Hope

I'm so badly in need of a cuppa and some friendly people around me right now. Nice to see you all.

Sherry
