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

@Faith-and-Hope I think that I see your loneliness with this because normally in life you would have your husband to share the load with even if that meant just talking about things but you have had this part taken from you. I would imagine this to feel so sad sometimes.

I know as well you have the double whammy of being the rock and being there for everyone (including us often on the forum too) and sometimes there would be a loneliness in this too. My friend is in a new leadership role and is a rock too but needs to have time out from being responsible for everyone and everything in her life. We try to get away for a few days a few times a year to give her a break and I try to look after her by waiting on her and making all the decisions just for that break of doing everything for everyone as she does so much for me. I hope on your holiday away you'll have that break.

Thinking of you @Faith-and-Hope. You have such a huge year and have juggled so much on your own. Hopefully after the wedding you'll be able to put some of those balls away so you don't have so much to concentrate on and you will have more time for you regardless of where WH is. For your sake I desperately hope he comes to the realisation that things are not right and in fact very wrong.

Sending hugs and strength to keep plodding through this tough part of your life. 💜💜💜💐💐💐
