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 @Angels333 💗

So sorry to hear you have been low this week.

Are there areas you can ask for help with ?

Do you spend time on your art ?

Hi @Angels333

I am sorry you have joined the list of the "feeling low" for what ever reason this week

You must feel discouraged - it is wearing to feel so down - and tired - and whatever else

What can I say to give you hope? Nothing much I guess - but I care a lot - and like other people I hope you feel better soon - but if this drags on - you are not alone

People care - I care -

And you feel as if you are failing in many areas of your life

That's not a good feeling

Still caring

I am safe for tonight. I am failing my daughter, she is quite overweight it really upsets me.

Re: Night Shift

I know she is okay but I just worry at times.

Re: Night Shift

Are you ok to tell us about your daughter?

I feel responsible for my son's weight too ... he is not too bad ... but I have tried so hard to get him active .. I am at just give up and go to bed stage ...I cant tell children not to eat or do things as they never listen and just block what I say.

I am plump too but tried going to gym and then passing on gym membership to my son ... did tennis, soccer etc ... stopped sweet, packaged and fatty food.

I guess there is a boundary where children also need to take reaponsibility.
