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.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

My back is all good again. Well as good as it will ever get.
Generally speaking life is going swimmingly. Now my anxiety is well controlled I'm feeling so much better and the bipolar appears to have settled down as well. 💕🎶

Re: Night Shift

Hey @TAB .... order helps put the sense of control and purpose back in place .... but when you're ready ....

Just don't take it as far as my WH .... have to tackle him to the ground at some stage and wrestle the controls out of his hands .... but we're gonna need a team to do that ...

Just head towards the mid-line ....

Catch you later.
