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

@Former-Member. Do you know why the cuttings seem to grow but shop brought plants don't. It's generally because the cuttings came from plants in your area. They are used to your weather & soil conditions. Also because they are given with love. Strange but true. Maybe the cuttings original plant was also grown with love.
Friday next week. Not long to go. I truly hope it's as successful for you as it has been for me. I had about 5 counseling sessions with her before we started the EMDR. It gave both of us an opportunity to bond and to understand the full impact of my work place incident. I felt extremely comfortable with her and was then able to trust that if I felt too overwhelmed that she would stop & re-calm me. Didn't end up needing her to stop, but I needed to trust her before I could start.
I didn't cook dinner tonight. Eating biscuits. Will have some fruit later. Fettuccine - sounds delicious.
Please let me know how you get on with your new psychologist, even if you don't start EMDR straight away. Very happy for you.

Re: Night Shift

Not feeling so good tonight. I think its from the lack of sleep over the last month. I need some suggestions or advice as what mite help with my sleep? I am not sure if its because of the medication but I am going to be persist with it at this stage. I'm feeling my anxiety increasing and generally feeling more down.
