Hi @Determined.
I've had my first cuppa... feeling kind of due for a second one!
Have adjusted to Silly Time better than expected, but unfortunaltely the reason is that I've been waking up before dawn regularly anyway. Meh...
Although the upside of that is Dawn Chorus. This morning was mostly magpies caroling, with a background of twittery birds and chuckling chookies.

Hi @Micky1
This is a sort-of virtual coffee shop on the Carers side of the forums where you can meet other carers. From here we get to know each other a little, and those with shared experiences help you find your way around to threads that are pertinent to why you are here, to hopefully help to support and encourage you.
Please feel free to ask questions to help you find your way around.
The Sane Home page has links to the Lived Experience and Carers sides of the forums, and there is a starter menu for each one, divided under topic headings. Hot Chocolate Anyone ? is found under the Socail Spaces heading, as are other interest based threads, because sometimes we need a time out amongst people with similar interests ......
Other headings include Our Stories, where if you type a word or two into the Search bar, the site will offer thread suggestions with those words in the Subject title.
See how you go. We are here to help you as well as listen when you need to talk, or respond if you want to simply chat with someone who really hears what is hurting.

Are you finding ways to look after yourself during this difficult time @Micky1 ? Self-care is a critical part of the carer role, whether you are directly caring, or whether its involving someone you love going through a difficult time.
