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.

@Former-Member I know what you are saying there about not worry about the cold whilst being in hospital! At the beginning of the year I was in hospital for 3 months and totally missed the summer heatwaves! I wore jumpers and beanies in the middle of summer due to the hospital's aircon lol.

@Former-Member I almost threw the census letter out. I thought it was another real estate letter. It was addressed to the Householder, which is what real estates usually have on the envelope. I almost threw it in the bin and had a quick look, without glasses on and saw the word, census, luckily. Now I realize it has a code in the letter which we need to do the census.

Apparently you can get the form from somewhere.

Haha! @Appleblossom is doing your gardening, hey? She can do mine too. Half an acre of it.

@TAB I would have a big headache by now if I hadn't have had my coffee in the morning. Did you manage to get your cuppa?

Hello @Queenie I haven't met you yet. Nice to meet you. It is chilly tonight. We have our fire on here.

Hi @Former-Member

My appointment went well yesterday, she said I looked a bit brighter. I think the cognitive testing was kinda a waste of time because it was just the mini mental test. I was a bit worried from the additional test she did, I had to say random words from different letters of the alphabet- for example D.C.T, and I had one minute on each letter, however I didn't do so well on that part of the test and now I feel really stupid.

How are you going? You sound like me in lots of ways @Former-Member I think we would hit it off. I like your no nonsense approach- I think that is a good way to be. I hope the psychologist has been gentle on you with your homework. I have three weeks until I see my psych because I have to go & have a brain activity test, I am bit worried there will be nothing found lol. Initially I thought it was good idea I was investigating these problems, but now I am bit worried about what they might find, I guess all I can do is focus on what I have control over, and let the other stuff go.

I had pretty good day, I just some lawn mowing and sat in the sun this afternoon and did a grocery shop and cooked some dinner and also watched some TV. It was pretty chilled out day. Apparently we are in for a storm tonight and tomorrow morning. Thinking of you too.
