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

Thanks for the message. Overall I am feeling stronger but also feel these tears are actually quite healing and is a positive sign that I am willing to move forward and make changes in my life.

Sorry to hear your little boy is sick, I hope he is on the mend- sending him lots of healthy vibes. How is your dog? My dog is asleep atm at the end of my bed, I don't think she will stay there too much longer. And as I typed she as moved up to the pillow- I took her for a shorter walk today but she enjoyed being out in the sunshine. It is meant to be a nice and sunny day here tomorrow.

I intend to do something fun tomorrow and I hope you have a nice day too.

Re: Night Shift

I would really struggle @Former-Member. I am becoming less tolerant of it all round these days. I find if I even hear others who I don't know put someone down I don't know I feel sad. I had an experience in a doctors surgery last year where that was happening and I just felt so sad. I am so worried about going back into the real world one day because I am so over sensitive with much of this now. I am now so much more aware of it. I hadn't realised how much my family gossips about others. I spend so much time trying to defend everyone now. I think that since having a MI I'm so much more aware of making judgements about others unless you've been able to walk a mile in their shoes which of course is impossible to do. So I understand. I think that unless you have a difficult life experience or some life changing adversity many people struggle with empathy and therefore don't think about what they say or how it could hurt others.

I hope you find something nice to do tomorrow, be kind to yourself 💜😊

PS @Former-Member. I think I've always had empathy, people tell me I have but I think I've developed a whole new awareness of it now that I didn't have before my trauma.

Hi @Former-Member

I am very sensitive too and you are right people open their mouths without thinking about what they are actually saying or also the impact this as on other people. I think I have always had empathy too towards others and I have always valued other people highly too.

People in my family don't seem to gossip about other people but my inlaws do but you never hear her saying she is at fault for anything or as ever made an mistake. I've been through a bit in my life and still think my core belief is to always to live life with integrityand that way I can lead a peaceful life.

I am intending to have some fun tomorrow. I am going o hospital with friend on Thursday and we will head out from the hospital when she is waiting on her blood test results and we will go get some ice cream and go for a walk. Your a beautiful person @Former-Member.

Oh sheesh ----No!!!!

I swallowed my chewing gum when I was 11 - how long before that happens

Just a tick - maybe that was a warning not to swallow bubble gum
