Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

AH @Shaz51 I always knew you were a gorgeous bird. watch out for puddy cats

Referring to a post @Kurra made earlier about trying to make sure eveybody's first post gets answered.

I scroll through the new posts on the "Stories" and "Something's not right" discussion sections. I dont actually read the topic first I look for ones that have no or few replies. I answer those first and then browse more generally. Yet sometimes I still miss 1 or 2. Thats my way anyway. We do what we can. Sometimes I can only look after myself.

Hi @Shaz51 sorry you're tired, but glad you're ok.

i'm suffocating i think. under the weight of my own expectations though so no sympathy needed. didnt make it to work today. trying so hard to keep up with everything! being a mum always comes first... but its so darn hard sometimes to balance verything out.

hope everyone's ok

Hi @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Decadian, @PeppiPatty, @Faith-and-Hope, @TAB, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, @Pinkeye @Jacques @Kurra and hi to all those who haven't posted recently too.

i hope you are all ok, I'm finding it hard to keep up with posting at the moment, 2 posts and I'm exhausted and need a sleep, sad but true, so please forgive me if I miss posting back. I'm feeling like my brain is totally drained right now too. Surprisingly the mental health team have accepted that things are not so crash hot lately and they have booked me into hospital tomorrow in the short stay unit just for a few days respite and a chance to try and pull myself together as I'm so reactive lately. I have found this to be helpful in the past to break the cycle so I'm hoping it will help. I think I need to develop a new mindset so hopefully this will help.

@Shaz51 I hope the sciatica is easing up for you💐💜

@Former-MemberI hope all your appointments work out well and it's not too stressful tomorrow 💐💜

@Decadian Thanks for the shout out today, I appreciated it. I really hope the weather eases up so you get some relief and get to go outside and live a little. Good luck getting a new computer. How exciting, I love getting a new computer and usually call them my new baby for the first 6 months😝😊

@Former-Member I hope Dusty is cuddling you and that today was ok for you💜😊

@Former-Member I'm with you and all I can watch these days is romcoms. I hope you are on the upwards climb again💜😊

@PeppiPatty Nice to see you being able to breathe a bit and post again💜😊

@Appleblossom I hope you are travelling ok and that you respite is treating you well. 💜😊

@Kurra I hope your back and hip are easing up and that you are back at work not in too much pain💜💐

@Faith-and-Hope I hope your family birthday celebrations (can't remember when it is right now) go ok and that today was ok💜😊

@Former-Member I really hope tomorrow is better💜💐

@Jacques I'm loving your image inspirational quotes too, may have to print a few off and put in my room.💜😊

@Pinkeye and@TAB good luck with whatever you have coming up.

Well that's my hit and run for now. I expect to pop in and out of the forum as my mood dictates so please don't worry if I go AWOL for a short time, it's me looking after myself ( I know I always worry about others going AWOL like one many of us care for is now and I really hope she's ok) 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member yes cuddling Dusty has been very good for me, but im struggling to concentrate much like you i guess. things are just forever difficult and exhausting. wish life could be just a little easier!

Re: Night Shift

❤ thank u @Former-Member...how nice. Yes I've had actually a great day of travel, being in tree's, the hills & rain with my new found 'go slow' medicine..organic cigarettes!!! I was seriously needing a sedative to slow down. I'm a bit of a hippy, so found these by chance...I might visit dad's grave tomorrow, as he is close by. I think I've been needing to do this. He helps me out from time to time.bi think we were very alike. And Dr lived his 'ciggi's'!!! 🙊..I hope you had a lovely day . It's so nice to have new found friends...it means much.
