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 ?

Doing lots of reading and research on treatment options for hubby. Otherwise a very quiet day here. Its really hard @Shaz51, but I'm trying to keep as positive about things as possible.

That sounds good @Shaz51, I hope you enjoy. And how lovely that you are going with your Mum as well. I have a couple of lunches coming up associated with my volunteer duties as well. Not sure I'm going to be able to fit them in now though. It will depend on some of hubby's upcoming appointments and likely treatment schedule, and how he copes with it all.

Anyway have a lovely evening Shaz.

thank you @Former-Member

Doing lots of reading and research is very tiring , sending you knowing hugs

Mr shaz has been given lots of diagnosis , so i looked them all up and then I would share it with mr shaz which was a mistake as it put his anxiety up tooo high ,

@Former-Member Hello, I dont know if I've met you, is your story anywhere on the Sane Site?

My husband is going through a difficult time now that he has quit the very last bad addiction.It's been a long time for him but he gave up smoking about three months ago.

So, in three years, he quit hard drugs, drinking alcohol and smoking ciggarettes. I am so proud of him but his Schizophrenia is taking a battering which means I feel very isolated and exhausted.

Last week, my Mum gave us a cold chicken and he was convinced that the cold chicken gave him an illness.

He has'nt walked for properly for over two months or three months although there is nothing wrong with his legs and he just sits on the loungeroom ordering me around.

I am very tired of people giving me 'Suggestions,' ......like......just stop giving him water....I'm working with his delusions and in contact with his hospital.

Please tell me how you are. We are just going to the shops and then to see his Mum for lunch......

xx

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

.. maybe his legs are painted on. Soz @PeppiPatty yeah orders is not a good way to be..

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I have been too compliant to others giving orders @PeppiPatty

I got scammed again last night. I am still so unconsciously eager "desperate" to conform with the powers that be, that I let it happen again. I just want the sound of that voice to be happy and agreeable. Is it my delusion that there is any goodness in the world and its not all dog eat dog.

I still need to say NO more.

Maybe you do too.Peppy, maybe not I am not sure ...

Hello @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @TAB

Not really indifferent but straight lipped. Wish this was a better place SOCIALLY.

Not the forum ...
