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

Cheers @Kurra. I love the way you can problem solve your stuff. I think I'm beginning to get it a little too. Last night I ended up on lifeline and at one point the penny dropped as to what was happening with me as well and then I could deal with it but before then I was just a huge messy pile of emotions ripping me apart and daring to be dangerous. These days once I can isolate the really important thing and work on that I do much better. Good luck for tomorrow 😊💜
