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

That's good that your appointment went well yesterday @Former-Member and probably nice to hear you looked brighter. The testing your having sounds a little horrendous. I would find that hard too, pretty sure they'd be looking for my so called brain too. I'm kind of surprised they are doing the testing now while you are starting new medication but I'm not a doctor.

Really glad to hear today went ok, sounds like you've had a pretty productive and relaxing day. I hope tomorrow treats you kindly as well. From memory you are meeting a friend for a walk around the lake. I hope that is enjoyable. Take care💜😊

@Former-Member Unfortunately I never had the h, just daydreamy ADD living in my own fuddled head even as a child but yes what I'd give to have the H now. I once read about a convention of women with ADHD and at the end at the social part someone described a sea of women's handbag contents. Many were trying to find paper and something to write with to share contact details with each other by tipping out their disorganised messy handbags on the floor to find things. It made me laugh as that would have been me.

Re: Night Shift

Lastly tonight I wanted to give a shoutout to @Former-Member. I'm sorry I think I owe you a few responses but am just surviving doing a jump in and out of the forum still, please know it's not on purpose just my brain burning out quick. I hope you are ok, I can remember you were worried about being back home. I hope that's going ok. I think I will feel the same when I get home too. Stay well and take care 💜😊

PS to all. Unless a post is right in front of me I'm finding it hard to remember to go back to respond which is why I'm doing a flurry here to the most recent posts.

Re: Night Shift

No back then @TAB is was called being a daydreamer and disorganised and scatterbrained. There were no 'medical' labels for it then, not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
