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.

Thanks @Former-Member.

Its wonderful to think you are starting a new pattern with your daughter now .... you are setting a loving relationship in place that I hope eases the pain a little re your own mother and siblings ....

Sometimes we have to change the path the family has been travelling on.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member Is it something in particular that's upsetting you? Thinking of you and sending love and a big hug. ❤
I'm not sure if you're still on here, so I will go and try and sleep now. But I hope you feel that you can share on here, I care and understand. Will read and reply tomorrow, as you might be already asleep. 😴💜

Goodnight everyone. 😊😴💜
I hope I haven't been too negative on here tonight. Tomorrow I will be more positive. 😀

@Queenie. Sounds like you snagged yourself a good woman. I'm sure she feels just as lucky. Remember we have ups and downs - but who we are is not just our mental illness. We are a whole lot more.
Love the idea of play doh. Neved thought of that. Might have to add it to my box.
By the sound of things, this hospital stay is going to be a great success for you.
Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.

Playdough for grown-ups ....

Add lavender and Rose oils, and dried lavender flowers, and crushed dried rose petals to uncoloured Playdough recipe .... share with girlfriends ....

Could probably do a peppermint one, or Jasmine and ylang-ylang ....

Who's into essential oils ?
