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 @Faith-and-Hope

I did sleep well - and for a long time - though I did get up and take my medication and went back to bed and slept well for longer - well - it's Saturday

I read where you sleep in blocks - here and there - and know what causes that - you seem like a Supermum but the better word is what you said Suvivormum - you have so much going on

Faith does have a lot to do with it - I am a believer too - and rely on my faith - it does indeed help us to transcend many of things in life in a way I can't explain - but I beleive that God did not make the world and then abandon us - in fact - I believe he thought of everyone of us before he even tried to start the Big Bang or whatever

What you wrote last night - and we were so busy here I did note what you wrote but didn't comment much at all - but I have been thinking about it - it is having faith in a being like God or what our belief system is that helps us get through life - and it is so hard to grasp - but it is there and I have always believed in it

Thanks for writing that last night

Hi @Former-Member

Thanks for thinking of me.

I'm ok atm- I just went down to see my parents this afternoon.

I didn't know you lived on the sunny coast, I hope to go up there soon. I live a few hrs south of the Sunny Coast.

How have you been the last couple of days?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I lived on the Sunshine Coast 16 years ago. My youngest was born there but I moved back home when my husband and I separated nearly 16 years ago. I live in the southern Australia where it's been too cold this year. You must live in a beautiful part of Australia then.

Im OK. Have just been thinking today that my mood is ok. Still feeling a bit foggy in the brain but not too bad. I hope you enjoyed your time with your parents. Have you got your big walk planned for tomorrow like the last few weeks? I'm really just trying to do a few jobs here and there. I had coffee and tea at my friends yesterday. Today I went to the farmers market and food shopping and a few household jobs but I did get to take my dog to the park so that was good. Tonight I'm just going to chill on here for a bit😊💜

Re: Night Shift

I live on the Gold Coast but I have also lived in Nth Qld. I would move back up there in a heartbeat. I love the GC too and the beaches. I have only been to SA the once and that was about fourteen years ago. When I was visiting it was very hot, of course that was in summer- to me it was quite a dry heat (Mediterranean climate).

I took Kira for a walk too before I went down to my parents. Yesterday I went into Surfers and had a coffee with a friend and her baby daughter and we went for a beach walk, which was nice. And tomorrow going back to my parents because my brother will be up tomorrow and I want to see him before he head off to the UK for two months.

I think I mite chill out here as well tonight.

Re: Night Shift

My partner & I love nth qld..if work was there we would move tomorrow. Warm weather suits my temperament. Nth queenslanders are happy to talk to you. Melbourne is too busy, people ignore beach other. I like it's changability but warm evenings outside ahh one day! No matter!
I feel a little achey tonight, hoping not the cold coming back. 😏. I'm wondering if I've got adrenal exhaustion. 😱 I made myself lie down this afternoon when all was quiet. Just reflected, a lot. My mind was far away, I felt I was experiencing grief, but it felt convoluted. Ill let me dreams unfold more. I love hearing your wisdom @Decadian.
Movie times. Hope everyone is well x
