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

Ditto @Former-Member, thank you. I'm ok, no complaints thanks. You seem OK too?
Every time I see you here I get the urge to pack up off to the beach for the weekend.
Hey, can you recommend any good caravan parks ON THE BEACH? I have this desire to lay in bed listening to the waves all night.

Re: Night Shift

The nightmares are becoming less and less @Decadian. 😀 Have resolved lots of past traumas, few more to sort. Nearly done, I hope. 😀
I hope you aren't having them still. Not nice. Sweet dreams for you tonight. Night night. I'm ready for sleep. Chat soon. 😴😊❤

Hi @Shaz51

I am fine tonight - thank you for asking

Ready to go to bed - this is a promise to myself I must keep - this is a great time to be on-line

I hope you are well - or the best you can be - life can be topsy-turvey at times

Thinking of you

Re: Night Shift

One of the wonderful things I love about this brother was that he was smart and optimistic and resilient and determined and worked hard. It meant I could celebrate the creative and good sides of my so-called genes.

It is a tragedy to me that he is in the health shit that he is with his bowel cancer . .. his wife is a money grubber but i also understand her parents' war time stories ... but we do have to leave the wars in the past .. anyway I doubt this brother will last the year out ... so that will mean 3 sibs died too young ...

I think some dude hinted that I wanted to tell the world I was smart ... but I think another poster @Former-Member GOT FAR CLOSER TO THE MARK ... I WANT TO TELL THE WORLD HOW

p**d i am.

My other brother had much worse MH issues THAN THIS RICH BRO BUT THEY WERE/ARE ALSO BEAUTIFUL MEN ...

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO FUEL THE BLOODY SEXISM DEBATE.. Dont lean too hard on this issue without reading my full history @TAB ... otherwise I take friendly brotherly punch on the shoulder back. Remember I am genuine half bloke but a got a goddammed wardrobe of clothes so I ought to wear the bloody things ...
