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.

Hi @BlueBells I remember that when I was in Canada. It's rude to call a toilet a toilet. I had to learn quickly to ask, where's the "bathroom"? 😀

Yes, my poor puddy tat. I think she was embarrassed. 😺😀

Re: Night Shift

Funny thing is, I still feel embarrassed saying "toilet". As I was led to believe it's so rude. 😊

Glad you seem to be getting sorted @TAB. I finally had the concentration to read back a few pages, thank goodness. I was starting to wonder if I could do this anymore.

Shout out to @Angels333. Thinking of you. I hope you are doing ok

Re: Night Shift

I'm the most together mentally for a bit @TAB, been really off with concentration lately. Today it's back a bit, hoping it will stay for a bit longer. Thanks for asking. Are you still looking to head off or stay put for a bit longer?

Re: Night Shift

just do what you can when you can, guess re concentration .. er decide next few days re 'moving'.. few job apps in process. Am thinking sit down talk it out/confrontation with main employer as of 6 months ago.. they did the wrong thing, more than once, ok me once inbetween that, might be useful for someone to actually hear the truth instead of their side only, well, in person, not third hand anyway..

It will be ok @Former-Member

Re: Night Shift

That's great @TAB to be taking on things front on, I could do with a bit of that courage although I think I might be heading towards a better patch as well hopefully. Only time will tell for us what comes next. I suppose that's a stupid expression really. Time will tell for everyone🤔
