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 ?

Thanks @outlander,
I care mostly for my Mum but also my MIL and until recently, my SO who was in a bad accident.
It’s pretty tiring.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that @Shaz51 That sounds a bit rough.

That reminds me of trying to get through to the Stoma nurse, when things went very wrong, after my last bowel surgery..

The coffee looks nice.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hello @Catcakes

Yes self-carer, I like your description @Faith-and-Hope You've given me a new title, or sense of purpose...

I also care for my birds (lots), cat, & clients I care for during the day.

You've reminded me that I need to do a lot more self-care (right now)...
