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.

I can't see it yet @Faith-and-Hope but was amazed at the way and how quickly you think out of the box. Have you thought about teaching art therapy. You'd be great at it I think. Not sure what the qualifications are but you'd have so many skills.💜😊

Re: Night Shift

I am looking to go back to completing art studies when that's possible @Former-Member .... and I believe art is therapeutic just by its creative nature .... so it is something I will bear in mind ...

Thanks 😊

Re: Night Shift

Wow @TAB you were politically motivated and obviously very passionate about things from a young age. All my clothes were hand made as my grandmother was a seamstress, was a tomboy who wore very pretty well made clothes 😜😝😳. Wasn't all paint ick brown back then? Sounds like you had a memorable childhood 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Yeah I can see you wanting to do art studies @Faith-and-Hope. Hopefully that won't be too far away before life will ease up enough for you to do it. It dawned on me that art therapy would marry so many parts of you. Obviously your love and skills in art, your caring and compassion with people, your problem solving, logic and challenges with the psychological aspect. But it's just food for thought.
