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

As you can tell @Former-Member I'm ok at the moment and in a bit of a playful mood. It won't last for long but I'll take it for now. Last night I didn't ask for sleeping tablets... doh .... and didn't sleep well but have rested all day to the point the nurses had to check I hadn't beached myself 😝😳 and suggested (read made) I get out the ward for a bit and go for a walk. Yes I'm sharing a room and I lucked in as I have a lovely room mate and we've really connected and get along well - similar ages, similar problems. Homework is to have a detailed (and I mean detailed) plan of the next week when I get home with all contingencies covered. ADD part of me rears up but I know I have to do it and follow it. The whole writing everything down on paper is not my speciality. She's given me a pro for a to fill out.

Thanks for asking, how is the rest of your week shaping up?

Re: Night Shift

@TAB I'm worried about the census thing. Hoping I could off load this one to you too since I have @Appleblossom doing my gardening perhaps you could do my census. On a serious note I don't know if we've received it and if we did if I threw it out without reading as I often do that when addressed to the householder.

Re: Night Shift

Good evening folks! Is it just me or is the weather simply freezing? Brrr!!!

I had an icecream just before and now I'm shivering...silly I know!

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

No @TAB. She doesn't do my gardening. I was just mucking around as she had been motivated today to do her gardening so I suggested she did mine tongue in cheek. I don't even now how or why to put a spoiler in. I hope you had your coffee😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member I understand about the not wanting to write down a plan for your week, eeek!

I can barely plan my day, haha!

As yet I have no plans this week, just the usual chores, driving my daughter here and there.

I really need to try and think of something different to do on the weekend though. Last weekend I didn't go anywhere and that doesn't help. Sometimes I really need to push myself to get out and do something fun. Trouble is, when I'm feeling so worn out etc., I don't know how to have fun. I read a really good book on ADD (without the H), one of the many symptoms is lack of motivation, great! It helped me understand my life (or lack of it, haha!). I had ADHD as a child, must have worn myself out. Wish I had the H in the ADD, now. Life was good with the "H", fun with no problems.

I'll think of something.

So good you have a room mate that you get on well with.

Re: Night Shift

You know what @Queenie you just made me realise that I haven't even thought about being cold while I'm in hospital. I think being cold definately affects our mood hey @Decadian. Perhaps that's why I'm feeling more relaxed too. Oh how I'd love to bring a controlled climate back home and avoid multiple doona sand a dog to keep me warm ( @Former-Member by the way love the owls, very clever ). 💜😊
