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.

Hi all,

i really want to tag people here but I'm scared I'll miss out on someone. I am going to tag @Mazarita and @eth, who both gave me so much confidence and support to share in some goods news. Today there was a meeting re my future mental health care with my therapist, mental health team and psychologist from the hospital. The result was really positive I think with everyone coming on the same page and planning on working together around the work my therapist is doing. This has lifted a huge load from my shoulders as I always was feeling like I was being ripped apart from the different factions. It often felt like my mental health support were doing more harm than good but it was all I had so I stuck with it even though I knew it was also destroying me. Anyway I feel much more confident that I will be supported in a more meaningful and united way now. My hospital visit has enabled this to happen. Tonight I got home at 3:00pm and have done 3 overdue admin tasks and 4 loads of washing plus spent time with the kids. I do feel renewed although I know I'm not better but just in a better place to use the strategies from therapy. I had some big life lessons in hospital this time and have a bit of a different outlook for now. I shared a room with someone my age in a similar situation who had just survived a pretty serious attempt and we shared a great deal. I know I may still fall but I guess am more determined to fight than ever before. So was she and we made a pact. Anyway sometimes I feel like the good parts need to be shared instead of me whinging all the time. I hope everyone is well, sending hugs💜😊
