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💜😊good to see you. I'm not making many other threads these days.

I've came home from hospital on Friday afternoon. I was in the public system, no job, no private health insurance. But it went well and my mental health team appear to be backing my therapist who is now leading the way with my therapy. My therapist has decided to take me on until the end of the year so that is good😊💜. A few things have changed regarding my care which are for the better. Kids are all pretty good and we had the most beautiful sunny day here today which helped lift everyone's mood🌞. Sons girlfriend took my crazy dog for a long walk so even he is happy. I have a busy week of appointments which I am glad of. Really scared of falling back to where I was again. I really was at rock bottom😔.

How is your week looking? How are you going?

Re: Night Shift

@TAB Thanks. I'm hoping to do another walk like that later in the week. I do walk everyday (mostly) but I have a gym session coming up on Tuesday, so I will probably walk 10kms tomorrow and Tuesday.

Hi @Former-Member

You sound really good- I am glad to hear you had a really nice day with your family. I hope you continue this upward climb.

I do feel better for the huge walk today and just gives me more reason to continue to do my exercise/walks each day. I'm hoping for some good results over the next 5 wks.

Hope you have a great week.
