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

Hi @Former-Member, @TAB, @Faith-and-Hope, @eth (if you are still around) @Shaz51 and anyone else who is around. 😊💜

@eth How did the music awards go? I have seen anything on it today, had a really busy day.

Sending a big shout out to @Angels333 who I missed the other day. I really hope you are ok and that today has been ok. 😊💜

I could have almost passed for 'normal' today for the first time in a looooong time. Got jobs done, attended to my parents, got my son sorted like a 'real' mum and we just had a family tea all together at the dinner table. Maybe there is hope after all.

Cant come close to superwoman @Former-Member with the walk though😄 Good job on that one 👍 I bet you feel better for it too. 💜😊

Sorry I haven't really read any posts today apart from this page so I hope everyone is ok.

sending hugs 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @TAB, It does kind of feel strange right now that I can go from where I was in the last few weeks to feeling a bit like a new person but I keep waiting for the crash, maybe it will come, maybe it won't.

how has your Sunday been?

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone.

How has everyones weekend been?

@Shaz51 I finally got out of the house this afternoon. We didn't make it to the rainforest, because we needed to get some photos before the sun went down. So went locally for a nice walk, at the beach etc. Then a quick food shop on the way home. Just finished mopping the rest of the floors. Need to get in the shower and bed.

Might get back on here later, if it's not too late.

Re: Night Shift

By the way, sorry if I missed anyone's messages last night. It got really late and I was too tired to read and reply.

Too many messages to go through.
