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

I think Im forumed out today. Not being at work hss enabled me to participate more fully whereas after a full on day at work I find I'm too tired to make an effort.

I've spent much of the day researching atvthe Uni library and I've now got a lot of peer reviewed information to tead and fully absorb. Ideas are developing on all sixteen cylinders and I hope to have some concrete information to a meeting that I called for next week. It's all good andd very exciting. It's been a most stimulating day

Unfortunately too much sitting T the computer has set offy back pain and has exacerbated my agitation again. At least my mobile phone has allowed me to keep posting while pacing. All the signs of another sleepless night are present. I can only blame myself.
Good night all

Hello everyone. How has everyone's day been?
Thanks for your message @Decadian Yes, I should make an appointment. I have been putting it off for a long time now. Years ago I had to have biopsies and I am avoiding that. They didn't numb me enough and kept poking around in there and it was an awful experience. But I know I have to go back.
I have been to the doctors alot for other things and the lump gets forgotten about. I have 6 monthly skin checks, plus often have BCCs cut out. I always seem to be at the doctor for something. So that's my excuse for putting it off, but putting it off doesn't help anxiety either.
How have you been feeling lately?

Hi @Former-Member -

It's always a good idea to have lumps attended to - the two I had were benign - and scary - I did have to wait long to have surgery either - so it can relieve the mind

But yes - having biopsies done without sufficient local or nerve blocks makes the whole thing and "in your face" event - but I also have a family history of melanoma - and get my skin looked at and think that I should go and have a mole map done

I had a breast core biopsy done years ago - so long ago - and that was a freaky time that did not have to be - we could do without all that stress

Today has been pleasant here - second in a row - lovely to have pleasant weather and the washing drying on the line - and tonight I have the pleasure of the music at an 18th birthday - I went up the street and had a listen and had a chat with a young couple sitting outside - and they told me the party won't be late - which is a pleasant thought - I have sensitive hearing - and music loud enough to rattle the ornamental owls is not comfortable

All the best with your check-up for that lump - most of those are benign but waiting for the results - after having someone poke about there - enough - enough

Decadian

[The collective noun for owls is a Parliament of Owls - these look a bit like head-bangers]
