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

Hi @eth, thanks for saying 'hi' ..hearing you re bills and mail etc, won't go into that tho. Haven't done big crowds since can't remember, not my thing anymore either

Re: Night Shift

I'm really glad your bill got sorted @eth. It's good you got out to a few events for the festival. I hope they were good. I think I was a bit like you with just all of a sudden things built up of things I need to do and hit overwhelm really quickly, couldn't work out what to do with myself but made the decision to come and watch my son and stress over everything else later. I was also worried about him playing this particular game as it was always going to be pretty rough and I was a bit fearful he might get hurt and wanted to be here if he did. I haven't let go of this yet. Otherwise I would have probably sat home and tormented myself. Have you got much coming up?

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member nothing at all in my diary until voting next saturday and a birthday party on sunday. I'll be a bit of a wall flower probably but want to make the effort and go. See how I'm going next weekend. I don't have anything like the busy life you do as my only child is 27 and left home years ago and I live alone.

How are your renovations going?

Hi @eth

I haven't seen you for a while - I hope you have been okay

I get the freak out with the bills from time to time and see I have to do the census thing tonight - well - right now

There is always something more interesting or more important to deal with

Really - I hope you have been okay

Re: Night Shift

Hi to you too @Decadian How are you? I haven't had any major dramas going on but have just been putting along below par for a while now.

Re: Night Shift

I'm okay too @eth - and glad you have had no major drama

I haven't had any major dramas either - except I had a handy man here yesterday to do a bit of spring cleaning in my bedroom - it's a small room with a queen bed and I am allergic to the vacuum cleaner - so this task needed a man

And I had a snuffle and sniffle all night with a blocked nose and sore eyes - this I can do without - I have felt tired all day as a result

But that is nothing really - just something that happens now and again -

Re: Night Shift

@Decadian there are herbal remedies available at the supermarket that help with hayfever relief that might help you. Don't think I'm allowed to recommend a specific one here in the forums unfortunately. But they are near the cold remedies and clearly marked on the label.

Re: Night Shift

The renovations are going slowly but forward @eth. Will still be a couple of weeks until they are in. Electricity is being connected tomorrow so there will be lights and power points. I think that that becoming much busier has added it's good and bad parts to my mental health. Everything in my house seems to move much faster and I'm not keeping up so well but I guess I will adjust over time. I hope the birthday goes ok for you. I'm going to drive back home now which is over an hour away. I saw your email and mostly came on to say hi while you were here. I haven't seen any sign of @Mazarita for a long time now. Still thinking of you @Mazarita and hoping you are ok.

wishing you both the best. I'll always be grateful for the support you both gave me when I first joined, it gave me so much confidence to stay here when it would have been easy for me to run away from the forum. Take care, I hope to catch you again. Sending hugs 💜😊
