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 @Decadian Yes, I hope I don't have to have further tests, that would be a relief. I can't believe it took me so long to have a mammogram. I think the last one I had was in 1996. The biopsies put me off going back.

They want me to go back to the doctor, fun and games. Never mind, at least I've started.

How have you been?

Re: Night Shift

I hope you don't live in a very hot place, seeing as you do mowing. You must be fit, @Shaz51

Re: Night Shift

So you're moving on soon? @TAB Where to next?

Good you got some things sorted.

I've had things to sort too, things I don't like doing, but have to be done. Sometimes things just don't go smoothly, that's for sure.

Hello @Former-Member

This is one photo I took last year

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for sharing the photo @Shaz51 What a lovely place, no wonder you want to go back. Are you camping or staying in a motel?

It's amazing how every day is so different for me. Today I feel like I could go away for a few days. Then I don't feel so great the next, but hopefully all this will change soon. I think seeing the psychologist at the end of the month will help me. Can't struggle on my own anymore. Feel like I'm not going ahead, not a nice feeling.

My cousin's daughter is a psychologist and does EMDR and she says "go for it", so I'm looking forward to seeing progress.
