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.

lol @Appleblossom
Sounds like a work site visit I once did (international) where it took me 4 days to do a 4 hour plant induction becasue it took the first 3 days to get everyone organised depsite knowing weeks in advance that I was coming. The onsite workshop manager very jovially told me 'do not worry sir, you are on our time now' when he noticed I was getting a little anxious about lack of progress.

Yeah something like that @Determined

Serves me right I have a flexible sense of time, but then I try and avoid promises I cannot keep.

Its not really about me anyway.

How's your day?

Sorry @Appleblossom

I should explain that in no way was I trying to diminish what you are going through, just likening the relaxed attitude on time management. Very frustrating.

Day not going too bad @Appleblossom

Day going ok although getting distracted and not much progress on this next report.
Says me who was just laughing at other peoples time management skills.

Mostly feeling fatigued. I worked last Saturday and Sunday and was planning to do the same this weekend but perhaps I need to take a break.

That is such a nice surprise @Determined

@Faith-and-Hope - are you enjoying the nice sunshine? This weekend is gonna be hot here in Perth! Let the shorts and dresses break out!!! FINALLY

I will have a think about it @Former-Member. I just unsure how the talk therapy will start out given I don't know why I get this way so not sure what to even talk about. I am sure if my partner keeps observing that it happens on a more frequent basis he probably will likely encourage me even more to talk to a professional. It does help though knowing he is there. I hate comparing people and exes but you know how my ex was so it was a breathe of fresh air.
