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 did the Prodigal/lost son for decades re my parents, used to get all sorts of 'talking downs' even up to about 5 years ago .. they're too old now, well except for face to face confrontations/conflagrations lol guess that's why I avoid the phone and visits so much these days, despite that I'm old too now.

Well it usually goes OK when there, just a matter of 'why would you do that to self a bit re physical visits .. oh and have been avoiding phone as well, I feel I should ring thing them. Don't want to tho @Former-Member
