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

I haven't heard of that show @eth. I'm still up, but not for long.

Hi @Appleblossom.

Yes, alot of sweating here too, lol, @TAB. Fan is on all night most of the year, well, not winter though. Except when I mop the floors and want them to dry quickly, can't leave the floorboards wet, not good for the wood. I hope you're day will go well tomorrow. @TAB

I hope that everyone has a good sleep tonight. Nighty night everyone.

Re: Night Shift

Low tide time of day today 😞, really feel out of sync with school mothers club today. Gets me down, it's like I'm meant to be part of a group, but I'm not.

Re: Night Shift

At least you went there @Former-Member , well off well dressed usually confident sister, went to some school 'do', went to sit on on folding chair on a bit of a slope and fell over once, was shocked how it affected her, she must have felt out of place to start off with .. you are not alone..

Smile and bear it, ask self 'why' when go home maybe

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. It's hard when you do not feel included in a group. Have experienced the same in the past and more recently.
At the time it was emotionally hard. But now, I don't care.
I know who my true friends are & who are just acquaintances. Can you separate this group?Would it hhelp with how you feel?
I hope today was just a one off and next time there is more a sense of belonging to the group

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member If I look back that is the hardest time of my life in that I don't think I ever felt good enough or fit in but I tried so hard and put on so many masks. I now respect those who didn't do that and were more true to themselves. I can name them but probably forgotten the ones who were caught up in the whole motherhood game of perfection. Stay true to you, it'll be worth it in the long run when the school days are over and no one remembers who the 'cool' parents are because it's not relevant anymore. Sometimes it's just like an extension of high school really. Keep kicking butt @Former-Member. I know you're having a rough patch but I see you on here trying to learn and help others and your gifts are shining through. ( I've enjoyed your conversations with Sahara and getting to know you a bit )

take care of you, hugs 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope I want to send you a reply about some of the stuff from last night regarding WH but my head is a bit messy still. But I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and feel for you that things are really tricky for you right now with lots of monkeys in your circus playing up. Take care of you too, sending lots of hugs 💜😊💐

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member ....

Monkeys are gonna be invading my circus from his till this is dealt with .... just some occasions are harder to work through than others cos he's left a big footprint that he doesn't fill anymore .... so it's a grief thing as much as trying to catch and tie down monkeys ....

It's enough that you could pick up my mood and just be around .... there's really not a lot else for it until a crunch of some sort .... just a stuck point till then.

Gorgeous to come on here and feel the love amongst others who are struggling and have a heart-connection with what it's like, even if the types and ratios are different.

🌷💜
