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.

The reasons I help my mum is because I love her. At the moment she makes me angry but I also do it to calm my own anxiety as sitting back and watching. It’s caos and causes great anxiety.

Well done @Sonny1 for having such compassion for your Mum, seeing her struggling. But you also get that boundaries are important and you have a right to look after your own needs as well.
Next time you’re calm and with your Mum it’s important to tell her just that....
even if you have to reassure her over and over that you care for her but you have your own needs as well. 👍🏼
