Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Not exactly breakfast time @Former-Member, but yep, I think I'm up for an English Breakfast tea now ... 😊
Trying to get my mind to switch off from the day and settle into rest mode ...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
Just posted a speel on 'sleeping too much' thread if you want to take a look.
Not well this last few days, fading away, had a few suicidal thoughts I'm trying not to hook in.
My 49yo baby brother has been talking about dying soon, which is a concern, saying who he'll leave his things to. I rang mum a little concerned about him but she was more concerned about how her & dad would cope if he wasn't around. (Why is it always a bad move to try talk with mum? all these years and still trying). My family are interstate remember. I've tried to get bro to get counselling but he says "F@#% that" Mental health have dropped him off their books but still visit the other bro with schizophrenia (both have it but secretly untreated).
A church friend just emailed a req for prayer as her cancer has spread to more organs. So sad & i feel guilty that i have to really fight to find energy to a5 least just pray for her. Its so sad, i feel it deeply & it hurts. But i have no right to complain. Fortunately she has supports in place that i can only dream about ptl & knows how to ask. I've made meals & provided transport a couple of times.
To be honest, it feels like a war zone - everyone's pain, i just want to hide under a rock 'tiĺl it all goes away.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?
i hear you @Former-Member, and I think you are amazing, but then people who have struggled a lot in life often are. It seems to bring out something special, even if you can't see it in yourself at the moment.
Let me go through a few things here ...
I saw the "sleeping too much" thread, and that post looks very interesting. I have done a first-read, but will need to go back to it tomorrow with a clearer head to retain more of it. It is intense, but very worthwhile content. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
Good that you are trying to keep those negative thoughts in check - persevere with that because you are a part of our lives now too, and we value your friendship. Stay with us !
Scary about your baby bro. Pray him through it to the best of your ability, and with your other friend with cancer, and for your mum, but remember that prayers don't always have to be spoken ... if it works for you, put their photos up somewhere on a bookshelf, bench top, small table, or wherever, and leave a small glass or vase there too, Pop a flower into it occasionally. Place a cross on the table. Place a written prayer there with them. It's enough. Just thinking of them is a prayer, if you take a moment to wish them well. It will all do !
Making meals and providing transport were wonderful gifts, particularly as you are in need of support yourself, but it is also investing in love, and love will come back to find you too. You are doing a great job. You are giving out love amongst us here as well, and that will come back to you ... that's what love does.
Just keep swimming 🐬🐬🐬 ... 😊
