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

I often steam frozen vegies @TAB, much easier and apparently they are just as healthy as fresh ones. I do like fresh ones sometimes though, especially when making a stir fry.

Hi @Former-Member I noticed that you're there. Are you ok today? I really need to get some things done, but I'll be back later. xoxo

Re: Night Shift

Ah yes @Former-Member - I know the story

Somehow or other I didn't get an invite to have a mammogram and it took me a while to get around to letting them know this - I do BSE from time to time - I did a course on this once and I know what to feel for

But - years back - in the dark ages - has to be the last millenium - I had to have a breast core biopsy so I know that sinking feeling - and the idea - the one that rattles our brains - ah sheesh - that was a bad day

Now it has to be after I injured my spine because lying face down was (and still is) really awkward - ah - no - talk about a cry-baby

Anyway - to brighten your day - it was okay - we can develop calcification in our breast tissue and that is benign - I suppose it has something to do with the milk machinery -

But I am really proud of you going and getting that attended to and I know waiting will be hard -

However - for all that - the majority of biopsies are benign - I have heard that - and still it will not be easy waiting either

My thoughts will be with you

Decadian

Re: Night Shift

Hi Everyone 😊

@Former-Member - just sayin' ... you have done so well with such an awful week .... clearly developing some solid coping strategies even though they might still feel far from perfect .... I think I can speak for most of us in saying that we can see a leap forward in you .... and as you have said yourself, it's probably in the direction of believing that things can be better, and that strategies can be applied and strengthened ....

I think our individual journeys are building courage amongst the group dynamic .... thanks so much for being willing to share the struggles .... we are all stronger as a team .... even in helping each other back up ....
