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.

Definitely. I would be very glad to send you some hugs @Catcakes As many as I can.

I'm in the Topic Tuesday discussion, so I won't be over here much though.

@Catcakes *hug*

Sometimes when we really care about others we take on their struggles as our own. Its a powerful thing about empathy. Hope you can get some hugs over here for a while.

Thanks @Adge and @Jupiter,
I do tend to feel very strong feelings when others are suffering.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Me too @Catcakes, definitely.

I find those feeling overwhelming sometimes (often).

Me too @Catcakes, definitely. and that is why I am here because I care for everyone here on the forum sooo much and I find those feeling overwhelming sometimes , that is why it is good to find a balance between helping others but looking after ourselves as well

I’m also dealing with roller coaster of emotions at home right now so it’s not easy to deal with the hard stuff on the Forum as well.😞

@Catcakes @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope The forums can be a heavy place to be at times, particularly when there are other things going on in our lives that are difficult. Maybe some of the lighter, social threads like "highlight of the day" or the "funny/random facts" threads would be an easier place to spend time tonight?
