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

Hey TAB Good to get things sorted .. I take it your in visiting distance but not with dad. Hope you get a decent place soon. We get so easily triggered when we are old & grumpy ... so living with others can be a real challenge.

@Former-Member You are still in the midst of domestic land. Glad lil one slept. Hope the ex is ok with the big kids.

I still have washing issues .. but they have morphed after 30 years. My son is averse to picking or hanging anything up ... so its towel into wash after one wipe ... and I am trying to put a blessed bloody boundary up ... hey man use it twice before mum washes ... or learn to use the ruddy machine ... he says he will improve ... then we bantered ... and I was shocking cos I batted his swear words back without saying them ... ha ha ... its weird the way we do our "work arounds" cos we luv the kids. I became a teenage boy for a while ...

It is great having you on the forum

Re: Night Shift

Hi all, just dropping in to say hi 💜😊. I've just got home after leaving at 8:30 this morning and am tired and afraid concentration alludes me to read back posts. Day was good, both boys in the next round of finals, the youngest's team kicked the winning goal with a minute to go and I aged ten years during that match. I hope everyone has had some sun and a smile at least once today. Sending hugs to all💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Shaz51 & @Appleblossom....

Hope you get an appointment soon @Shaz51

Just a tablet x 2 - must work because the cause is anxiety - not some physical injury or arthritis etc?? I have the cream, which is helping a bit - the tablets work quicker though, so I will hopefully get some tomorrow.

@Shaz51 the garden only has flowers in it at the moment (+rosemary) we are growing marigolds in triangular formations to plant vegeetables inbetween....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope - sending strength & good vibes your way...

Namaste,

Anna

Namaste,

A

Re: Night Shift

Omg @Apple blossom, that's it you are dead right. I'm the only female & I become a boy to cope.
Errrr vomit.
I want daisies, diamonds & decent cups of tea! Lol
No, I love My boy's, life is never dull but its tiring.
I think I might go get my iron tested, & other possible mineral imbalance.
I've had anemia before, & whilst I'm not in that territory I know something isn't quite right.
My ex is a very problematic person, & that's saying least possible!
@TAB, you should get an old Bush shack...that would be cool! 😊 At least a place with a front porch to have your morning coffee on.👍☕

Re: Night Shift

Lol@TAB..I do the same thing..put the yucky stuff off or scrap the whole idea because I forgot! 😁
I get rid of so much. Never became a hoarder. I've moved far too much, to be bothered carting stuff around anymore.
