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.

It's hard @Kurra .....

There are days I cry in my car, just while I'm driving around .... seemingly for no reason ..., but I know it's relieving pressure ....

I just have to walk thru what I have to walk thru, and take things as they come ... as do you .... but that doesn't mean it's not hurtful, or intimidating .....

Just hafta breathe .... baby steps .... you can do this ..... and whatever happens you can survive it ....,

I believe in you !

❤

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

Your Masters Programme - how wonderful - I would like to do that but I think I am past the age and my unstructured learning is so interesting - I will keep on with this

But yes - it will cost a lot - I have no idea what the HECS Situation is atm - that's what stopped me from continuing - I had started my post grad work but decided to graduate - at that stage I was strapped for cash in a bad way

I'm not now - but I seem to be learning all the time anyway

What subjects will you be thinking about - I am into literature, history and anthropology - ouch- I have started now - where should I finish? No - I will be asking people to throw my computer into my coffin so I can stay on-line wherever I go - whatever happens - I believe in learning

About voluntary work - ah - the world needs people to work for free but to have a commitment like that one - no - if they want that much of a commitment they can pay someone - after all - you will be looking for paying work and you can't give up a good chance at a good job if it happens - there will be other kinds of vuoluntary work - and more than just knitting for the jumble sale - I have done voluntary work myself - but always kept my options open - I did voluntary work on line for years - but that ended as things do

No wonder you felt anxious last night - I hope you slept well enough - but sometimes we need to think things through at it seems as though you are - and all the best with that

I am hoping the week will get better - the weather give me a bad dose of "I have had enough" - where does this weather originate - let's send it back

I watch TV too late on Sunday nights - too much good stuff they could spread out across the week - and then I was on-line for hours - and then I got woken up by a text-message at 10.00am - to early for a text message - how does this happen?

The day can only get better - then the week

All the best sorting out your life and your future

Dec

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51 Nice to hear from you.

Last week I had a few better days, but lately feeling really down and exhausted, makes me feel so cranky, because I hate feeling like this.

How have you been? Did you do much on the weekend? I have been doing lots, but nothing very exciting. Had lunch out etc. Feeling down last couple of days. Seeing my psychologist tomorrow, so I hope there will be some progress there.

Saw some positives last week. Had coffee with a friend last week, haven't done that for months. Been inviited to friend's opening (her practice) on the weekend and bought tickets to see the Russian Ballet. It's always good to try and find positives amongst the negatives.
