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

@Shaz51 Feeling sad and depressed today. Had EMDR therapy yesterday with psychologist. I think it helped. Psychologist said I might feel emotional today. Hoping tomorrow will be better. 😊

@Decadian Thought I'd let you know that I had EMDR yesterday. I remember you were interested. I felt relieved yesterday. Lots more to do. It's daunting thinking about all the trauma incidents I need EMDR for. But at least I've started. A step at a time. No quick fixes unfortunately. How have you been? 💜

Evening everyone, it's time of day, my kids are driving me nutty.😱
On home stretch to their bedtime.
I possibly did a lot, but that god damm garden is weeded.
I've done so much washing, fed endless hungry mouths who were supposed to help me garden.
😏
Partner home late, so no adult company to download with.
I'm coping, but boy kids can drive ya nuts!

Re: Night Shift

You're a hard worker @Shaz51
I hope you have a pamper somehow every now and again. Do you have a way to treat or pamper yourself?

Must be hard watching hubby struggle as well.

Raining alot here. I don't mind. 😊

Me too! @Shaz51..effectively every day is busy.
We do something every day. Tomorrow is swimming pool.
I feel a little agitated tonight, but I'm ok.
I think things mount up, & start to feel a lot is expected of me.
It's a busy job being a mum. Oh well.
