Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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 @Former-Member
Within that thread there is a link to a page where you can register for the webinars and sessions. If you follow those instructions you will get a reminder email 🙂

Re: Night Shift

@utopia I've been very disappointed by friends and people, so it really touched me that the lady was kind. I don't know why it has been like this for me, because I always try and think of ways to try and make people feel happy or comfortable.

I'm teary now, but it's ok, I need to cry out all the hurt. I know things will get better as my health improves. I don't undertand people and haven't for a while. Everyone seems to be too busy to bother.

Some day soon, I will be well enough to get out and make new friends. My hubby doesn't understand it, because I am a friendly person and I really do care about people. It really doen't make sense.

I hope the psychologist can start on the EMDR very soon. I have really tried to talk her into starting it, but she thinks I'm not ready. I think that I am, the wounds are already open and hurting, they need fixing. So I'm not sure about her thinking I'm not ready. I will ask again, next visit. She's a lovely person, I guess I'll just have to trust her about that.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. Glad you don't react as badly as me. I think because ive been on the AD for over 10 years, my body doesn't cope without them. But my psychiatrist and I have already reduced the dosage. And we will reduce again before the year is out.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @NikNik. That link you put in night shift wants you to go to Facebook first and then get redirected back to the registration page. I found out that I had already registered and had forgotten about but thought I'd put these links in for anyone to get there quicker. Cross fingers they work💜😊

i think this is the link to the webcast series

and this is the link to everyday mindfulness

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. It does seem that those of us who are kind and compassionate and try helping others - sometimes don't get the same compassion back. I don't know why that is.
Maybe we are more sensitive in general and therefore notice when people need our help.

Re: Night Shift

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so sensitive @utopia, But there are good points to it.

I better go and do some yoga/pilates, try to anyway, hehe! I haven't been walking or doing any exercise for the last few days, have felt too drained and no motivation. I guess that's bound to happen from starting therapy again, but good will come out of it, I know. Chat soon. I'll probably be back on later.

It's lovely to chat to kind/caring people like yourself and others on here.

Thankyou everyone for being so kind and friendly. I'm enjoying chatting and sharing with you all. It's good that you all understand and care.
