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.

Thats nit what I wanted to hear @Smc lol.

Looking ok at the moment but will be keeping an eye on it.

Was supposed to be no good today but it has turned out to be ok. Could have gone out. Woild rather could have gone oht than should have stayed home though.

How are things for you @Smc we haven't chatted for a while.

Things got a bit crazy for me towards the end of semester trying to get everything done, still trying to catch up.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Determined yeah, I got the idea you were pretty busy.

I've been lurking around but not commenting much. Feeling fairly flat, so am "playing turtle" again and retreating in to my shell a bit. Obviously I still stick my head out often enough not to totally lose track of everyone. Am trying to keep the motivation up enough to achieve a few things around the house and garden, and telling myself that the little achievements still count. The storm prepping we've been doing meant pushing beyond comfortable limits for both of us, which is a bit sobering. Go back a few years and I would have well and truly had the energy to do what we did, and more.

Too burnt out. Not giving up, but running on a very slow setting.

A bit of good news though, is that the mood stabilising medication does seem to be helping our daughter.
