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.

Get on the phone to Lifeline (13 11 14) before it gets any worse. Do NOT wait unti you are distraught to call them. Lifeline is 'maintenance' for people in our position. Have a whinge to them about the mental health system if you like. Good luck and god bless.

@PeppiPatty Sorry you are going through a bad time with MIL.

@Mazarita and @Terry and @Former-Member all gave good advice. It still doesnt make it feel better I guess.

I tend to agree with @Terrythat Australian culture was a few down sides .. I have been very hurt by it though tried to toughen up and withstand it.

Take care my friends ... I am off to talk food with my son about this little trip tomorrow. Back in a week.

Will take computer but son needs it for composing so I am not planning to go online ... just sing and walk and cook.

cheers Apple.

Re: Night Shift

The Australian culture is diabolical. We value cruelty over kindness and stupidity over inteligence. It's a 'nightmare'. Weather's nice here, 'tho, mostly.

Re: Night Shift

Thank you @Terry i really struggle with Australian Culture, that is partly why i isolate from society, i don't like what it has become.

Re: Night Shift

the australian colonial culture was lousy from day one. all this sunshine and affluence and it's impossible to enjoy life here because the whole place is a big aggressive anti-intellectual brawl, or that's more or less how it seems to me 😞
