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

My goodness @Shaz51 how very scary for you (getting the phone call) let alone your poor mum! I have had plenty of snake encounters but one inside really would be totally terrifying. Im glad it is all sorted now and everyoe is safe.

I survived dinner. On the way to town I got a phone call from one of the little boys who I have looked after for the last 3 years and just moved away from. Its his birthday today and I had organized with his mum that they would ring me when it suited... was so lovely to chat to him. Distracted me perfectly and put me on a little bit of a high. He ended the phone call with 'I love you lots' so very special.

Dinner was okay, lots of reminising which was nice. Only out with her for 1.5 hours but 30mins travel time each way. I need to make the most of catch ups even though its hard.

@Former-Member Im glad the meeting went well. It sounds like things will be set up well ready for your little one to go back to school shortly.

So glad your dinner went well, I hope that each time we get through the anxiety and go do the things that we're falsely terrified of it will make us stronger and hopefully easier over time to keep beating down the anxiety
