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

I maybe a bit similar to you @Former-Member with trying to do baby steps. I've been having a rough patch but had a good day today which was nice for a change. I think I read that you were going back to work part time. How is that going? 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member celebrate the good days 🙂

Going back to work is hard. I don't think I have the stamina for a full day action at the moment and that makes it challenging. But baby steps, this week I try to work a little more than last week, that's all I want.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member, nice to see you a little more at peace. I'm OK, not getting much done but stable, thanks for asking. We've had a lot of rain which wasn't hood for the town festival w'end. Of cause - I stayed in. Thanks too for the purple heart.

Re: Night Shift

It's fabulous to hear from you @Former-Member and so good to hear that you're getting back to work. You've come such a long way after a really rugged time. I always found being back at work a very positive thing after a hospitalisation because it was then I could feel like a real person once more.

I know that sounds rather whacky but then that's Kurra for you. Sort of like a bit off beat. 😉🎶💕🎶

Re: Night Shift

Good for you @Former-Member. You will get there, just give yourself the time and patience you need and I'm sure it will be ok again. I hope you have some good days too. I can't believe it's almost like someone turned the lights on. Not sure what tomorrow brings but I'm very slowly getting better at rolling with it although sometimes I still go down in a screaming heap too. I wish you all the best for this week. Sending hugs 💜😊
