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

Thanks @Former-Member

I am feeling better tonight - my sinuses were affected - this seems to be my "thing" - I can lose my balance and feel giddy as well as just plain wiped out and sleep too much - my dd had something similar though she had more cold symtpoms

I usually recover quickly but I still have no appetite - but fruit and yogurt help

No - I have not got my new computer - I have not felt well enough to go out - these things can drag on and I guess they are pretty boring as well which is an incentive to recover as fast as possible

The day was sunny but I watched something I had recorded but not had time to watch - and now all the messages have started

I am glad you slept well last night and hope that it continues - sleep is so wonderful -

Hi to @Decadian @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Angels333 @Bridgetjones @Mazarita @Former-Member @utopia and everyone else who is on here, sorry if I missed anyone.

Just wondering how everyone is going?

It just started raining and oops! thunder and lightning as well. Roast lamb and vegies in the oven, I hope the electricity doesn't go out before the roast is cooked.

@Decadian I want to thank you for encouraging me to get my lump checked. I had it checked on Monday and I am waiting for the results.

@utopia I made an appointment with a psychologist at the end of this month. Wish it was sooner, but she is very busy. She does EMDR, so I am looking forward to seeing her. I need more help with PTSD, was hoping to get on top of it, but things have been triggering me alot. Thanks for informing me about the EMDR. I can't wait to try it.

Anyway, better see how the roast is going.

Oh and hello to @Appleblossom @Flower88 and @plasmo

Oh @Shaz51 Any idea where you're heading off to. You might not want to mention location on here, that's ok. Sounds great. That's on my list of things to do. Haven't been anywhere since last August. Definitely due for time away. That's good that hubby is organizing it for you.

I actually went for a ride on my pushbike this afternoon. Rode to the local shop. That's a positive for me, hehe! Have you been up to much today?

Re: Night Shift

Oh, that's no good @Former-Member What happened today, if you want to talk about it? Good you managed to have a nap. I went back to bed after school drop off.

I better serve up dinner now, but I will more than likely be on here later.
