Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

Hi
I hear voices, they are louder at night. I see people but only at night. Any helpful suggestions?

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for thinking of me @TAB and @Former-Member 😊✋👋 I'm waving TAB 😀
Just heading to bed, feel like I've been hit by a truck, lol. But onwards and upwards. I trust my new psychologist, it will take a bit of time to sort through "inner stuff". End result will be good.
So good to hear you have a job TAB. I hope it all goes well for you and that you're ok. 😊
Thinking of you leia, hugs to you.

Sending hugs to you all. Way too tired to think. Sleep time. Goodnight everyone. Look forward to chatting soon. Missed it tonight. 😴😴😴😴😴😴💜💜💜💜💜

Hello @Shaz51

I didn't know you had renal disease - I am sorry to read you have been unwell. I hope they get to the bottom of this for you- and have some answers for you. Thinking of you.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

I am so glad your husband didn't get dinner in bed - no one brings me dinner in bed - I miss out - I have tried to get the cat to help me out with it - but she doesn't co-operate

Wow - that is some diagnosis - I had to look that up - purely interested - what a sneaky disorder

Can they treat that? It might be one thing to know you have excessively high iron in your body - pretty sneaky synptoms - they could be anything

Does this have anything to do with kidney disease?

Arthritis - yes - I guess so - not good at all

I will be thinking of you

mmmmmmmmmm - yes - Decadian

Hi Everyone ... 😏

Welcome @ScienceBoy101 .... not sure what suggestions to offer you, but others here might .... or jump on the chat line tomorrow and speak with the counsellors .... they are great at suggestions.

Thanks for asking after my day @TAB .... it was good enough .... let's say that .... bit up and down.

D3 went for screening today. We have cancer issues in the family, but she got the all clear on a recent concern so .... ✅ ..... but she was so late for school she didn't get there before the screening appointments ... ❎ .... had a wait for the results so got to have lunch together .... ✅ ..... doctor went through family history for cancer which freaked D3 a bit .... ❎ .... but she went to school and was happy when I picked her up .... ✅ .... then came home and had a massive row with her sister and has been in her room ever since .... ❎.

I got to a foot massage .... ✅

We have days like these .... I try not to let my emotions roller coaster with it, but feeling exhausted now ... so maybe didn't quite succeed today ....

Took a shortcut with dinner and bought sushi home .... ✅ .... but don't know how long I will last before I'm balancing the iPad on my nose ..... 😆☺️😴

Sleep well those who are heading off to bed .... sounds like it's been a big week all round ....

💜💤💕
