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

Getting tired. 😀
Been taking anti anxiety meds a bit this week. Not my favourite thing to do, but sometimes need to.
Well, guess what @TAB? I saud no snake stories, but guess what was on the track where my daughter and I were walking when in the rainforest? Starts with "s".
2 days later I get attacked by a magpie while out bike riding. Squarking and pecking at my ear. Couldn't ride faste enough, lol. 😂
2 huge oanic attacks in a couple of days. No wonder I needs anti anxiety meds, lol 😂

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. My friend just sent me a picture on facebook of hundreds of birds all gathered around the yard of someone's house.
Reminded me of the time when I was a teenager & dad was away - so I stayed up and watched Hitchcock's The Birds. Next day - as instructed by my dad before he left - I had to clean out the bird aviaries. Well he had 8 lined up in a row. You had to go through one to get to the next etc. All I remember from that day is birds flying all over me - their wings ruffling my hair. I now refuse to watch any Hitchcock movies. But I have had pet parrots - so no long term harm done.

Re: Night Shift

Lol @TAB I hate them.

@utopia. Yes, Many lovely and fun memories as well. I usually choose to think about them. Often have a laugh about things she did and said. She has great sense of humour. We both have same silly sense of humour.
Love a laugh. Always keen for a joke. She's my best friend.
Do you only have one?
