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.

☕️

Oh @Shaz51, thankyou so much. I am just feeling so alone right now. When I just ready your post, I burst into tears. Feel so silly.

Okay so I just made a big pot of fresh tea, and I have some little salted caramel shortbreads here. Plenty to share if anybody else would like to share? In real life, I just made myself a cuppa and got a bicky. So now I can literally cry into my teacup.

Here with you also,
I think I need some calming tea, chamomile or similar, any ideas?

Sitting at uni trying to work and person sitting beside me is munching on an apple and clicking her pen, my filter seems not to be working so quite irritating.

LoL @Former-Member

Actually have ear buds here and was listening to hymns off youtube but ears needed a break, I will have to put them back on. headphones would be a good idea for the future.

So frazzeled at the moment that I just sent a text message to the house-sitter about the house-sitter that was supposed to go to Mum. Thankfully it wasn't rude but it was a little blunt. Would have been really bad if she got some of my earlier texts when I was stressed about the change in circumstances.

Feel like a complete twit now lol -
