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.

Re: Night Shift

Let me know how you go at the doctor tomorrow. @Shaz51 ❤
I made myself go for a walk, just got home. Feel lazy if I don't. 😊

@PeppyPatty. I'm really looking forward to the ballet. Been promising daughter for ages, but have never felt up to it. Usually it starts 8pm on a week night. This one starts 2pm, much better for me. 😊❤

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51

I am glad you are getting there - hard work

No bananas - no pineapple - eh? It could be worse - no broccoli either

I would hard to give up some things - like chocolate - iced coffee - aw - I hope you can still eat some great stuff like that

Our health is so precious

My shoulder has done well with the medication the doctor prescribed I have two more days on it - it's amazing how fast that worked

Re: Night Shift

@PeppiPatty I'm really exhausted... I am coping... Still lots of anxiety - too much results in very low mood etc. Same same. But I really think yoga is helping me immensely - I've been going regularly for almost a year now. & I was in hospital twice last year for a total of 2 months (before I started my regular yoga practice) & I've so far avoided it this year, so maybe things are getting a little better with yoga & reduction of meds.... How are you travelling?

How did the difficult day go @Kurra? I love desiderata too - my favorite part - "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence....If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always THERE WILL BE GREATER AND LESSER PERSONS THAN YOURSELF...... With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL WORLD"

@Former-Member - what kind of job are you searching for & what would you like to study? All the best - did you get to the pool? Do you swim laps?

Namaste,

Hi @Faith-and-Hope. I'm sorry I've been quite self obsessed lately and haven't had a chance to ask you how you are REALLY going at the moment. How are you feeling and travelling? 💜😊💐
