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 @Former-Member. How is uni going, been thinking of you?

Hi @Former-Member, Have you put EMDR in the sane search bar. I think a few have had discussions but I can't remember who. I'm so sorry you've been having a really difficult time lately too

Hi @Former-Member,

Uni has been going well, but starting to get really busy!

I dropped the subject that had classes near my old work. I didn't have the guts to do it.

I also got signed up to disability services at uni, so that if I get ill again and start struggling I can get extensions more easily.

How have you been?

Re: Night Shift

@eth That's no good about J and must be adding a bit to feeling down. Fabulous that you're going to the indigeonous music awards. I know what you mean about falling flat after one day out. I'm doing the same a lot. If I have one good day it seems to take two to recover. I don't understand that part. Same with feeling on a small high, I now get scared because the low will follow straight after. I guess I'm becoming more aware of stuff now like this and possible look for it too much too. I really hope you have a good night to lift your mood a bit tonight. Glad to hear other friend isn't triggering you at the moment😊💐💜

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member Just trying to find out about it today. Wondering if it will help me. Always looking for ways to get better. Be interesting to know the science behind it.

@eth You sound like you're going through the same as me, at the moment. Just chat anyway, if you like to chat. I don't do much lately. I feel REALLY boring.

Glad to hear uni is going ok @Former-Member Plenty of time to do that other subject, I probably would have done the same. When I was at TAFE I did the disability thing too. I think it helps to have as a safety net if things come undone. Good job for organising that. I hope things go well. I guess you'll be pretty busy from now on as the semester winds up.

I was in hospital 4 days last week but more for respite than anything. It was more of a circuit breaker as I was constantly in crisis and getting more out of control each week. However there were some good outcomes as my mental health team are working more together in on the same plan for the first time so I'm happier about that.

Re: Night Shift

Yes, you will probably feel better after sorting your house @Former-Member I know I feel better when my house is in order.

@Shaz51 At least your hubby got some painting done, that's good. But, he sounds like he likes to achieve more, I can understand that.

I got 2 loads of washing done and the kitchen cleaned. Not much of an achievement.

Spent too much time on internet too. I don't usually spend this much time on here. My eyes and back are paying for it, hehe! Just took Paracetamol.

Hmm! What's for dinner?

Re: Night Shift

I'll probably check back in on here later. Better see what's for dinner. My girl just got home and is heading out again.

Chat soon.

Re: Night Shift

I probably have to head off too, my son is going out for the night too and guess who had to drive him. Sending hugs to all. Thanks for the chat @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Shaz51, @eth.

Lovely for you to drop in @eth. I hope to catch you again😊💜

take care 😊💜💐

Hi @Former-Member,

I hope it works as intended. It can be good to have a bit of a break and some support.

Your team sounds good, that they've got together and are supporting you. I know how important it is to have a team on your side supporting you.

Have a good Sunday everyone!
