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.

☕️

@Catcakes sending hugs.... and I agree with @Jupiter. I've been too overwhelmed for some time, but the social threads and the odd dip into more serious discussion are a good source of support for me. I tend to want to solve the problems of the world, but I know I can't, and sometimes I need to back off from the things that I can't go anything for, so that I've got the energy to deal with what's going on among my own family and friends.

Looks good @Shaz51!

I detect a bit of a Scottish theme- bagpipes, Scotch whiskey... Appropriate given that I married into a McFamily. (That's the mc in my online name. )

Hi everyone .... 👋☕️💕

I have been prioritising just a few threads for the last couple of days @Catcakes cos as an empath it can become overwhelming and we can spread ourselves too thin ..... and irl has been busy for me.

I think it helps when you look around and find that others are stepping up to caring and sharing on some threads .... none of us are expected to, or can be, there for everyone all the time - says someone who is here a lot - but as @Jupiter said, adding to the more lighthearted threads is just as important .... they are ports of distraction and relief from the harder topic threads.

💜💐
