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

@Kurra awful that you have to put up with that kind of person. I'm glad that you've spoken to your boss and have a chaplain to talk to

I'm too sensitive to cope with people like that.
I do "fight" (stand up for myself) when I have to, but I prefer to hide. 😂
But I understand that you won't be pushed out. You are strong. 😀

Hi @Decadian 😀

Re: Night Shift

Gosh, anxiety is super high today. Tried to rest, kept having panic attacks, grr!
I'm not worried about seeing the psychologist tomorrow, but I wonder if it has something to do with the anxiety. 😯😨😀
Off to doctor soon, great. About other things. I'm not keen on going to appointments all the time, gets a bit too consuming. 🌻🌸🌷🌹🌼

Re: Night Shift

Possibly @Former-Member..I find if I've got a few things going on, I go all over the shop...scattery, hyper vigilant...sometimes I thrive, but the crash follows somewhere in the mix. Anxiety is so annoying 👎..flip side maybe break trip up, grab coffee in the way? Or tea...I find coffee makes me grounded.

Oh dietician went better than I thought. I was ready for logger heads, but she had changed tune, was understanding, helpful!!
I seriously think this weather turns people batty...Melb's anyway!!

Re: Night Shift

Hi All.. just trying to settle down here. Went to Centrelink(again).. got to speak with the person who's call it is this time, finally took doc that may have clinched it, well, they kept asking for others, and I was too lazy to chase most important one up myself, as they kept telling me there were ways around it ....

..so got to hear all about peoples lives, and how Pauline Hanson is the answer to all their 'ills' sheez one of them didn't even know she was back in parliament .. then shouting match there cops called..

glad to be out of there..

..went to my new po box .. well guess what .. not 1 but 3 credit cards waiting for me .., the first 2 had been sent to wrong address, ie not the one they swore it had been sent to, and all 3, well, only knew of 2 attempts.. arrived at the same time..... what th'...

so, have possible backpayment coming now

and can pay the rent, ie, by using card which is now working again, others cut up and in bin ..musta looked funny me sitting in car with all those cards.. yeah not dodgy at all lol and yes, well it;s a bandaid, but don't want to use cash as going in the one direction..

.....phe e wwww.......

Re: Night Shift

@TAB, centrelink is frustrating, hang in there. Sorry I'm not following, were you in the shouting match? Hmm credit cards are a time bomb in my hands! I'm not getting things done, my son knocked his head. Let's see if he will sleep when I put him down 😊
