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.

Good chatting tonight @Former-Member

I enjoy it - but I will have to go to bed soon

Your pregnancy was a tough one - omstars - was it ever - and both you and your daughter suffering so much - I can't imagine that

How old is too old - I heard on the news last week that a woman of 62 gave birth after having IVF - really! _ I was past it when I had my last miscarriage when I was 32 - I was actually overwhelmed when I knew I was pregnant again - I couldn't do it again and nature intervened

I am hoping you really can stop beating yourself up about not being a good mother - but yes - I still feel this way about my son - but I did all I could - and hopefully this will be easier since I have had psychotherapy - but really - according to the children we are all bad parents - or mothers anyway

But you could not get help - help was thin on when my kids were little but I found some - I have been very lucky with the help I have through what has been a traumatic life - I can still hardly believe how I was ostracised by my family

I am glad you had a daughter after such a harrowing time - and I don't know about morning sickness - with all I have had happen in my life morning sickness was not one of them - and my dd didn't have it either - but my mother - went all day every day right through 3 pregnacies - I have a strong idea she should have stopped after me - the first - of course

You are such an interesting person

Good to hear from you @utopia. Glad that youre on the up and hoping the new Meds are good. I remember the 7:15 sat morning starts for sport. Luckily it gets later as they get older. Having 4 though the early mornings seemed endless at the time. Mine has a bye tomorrow YAY. I hope you get to have some lovely time with your bf too, some time for you. Take care💜😊
