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.

Being a mother of kids, young or older, is physically and emotionally draining .... don't discredit yourself on that level, apart from everything else going on ....

Be good to you today 💐💜

Morning everyone .... 😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Kurra

Thanks for the shout out - I have just opened my mail to have a look

I am in the middle of a heavy cold - so I am going back to bed - nothing much happening - just reading a book I have read many times before so as not to tax my poor weary brain

Best wishes and thoughts to everyone - I am not much good at posting deep and meaningful messages feeling like this

I will be in touch soon - everyone

Re: Night Shift

Poor you @Decadian. Colds are the pits. They can make us feel so miserable. Have you tried the old steam treatment with a thermos of hot water and a towel over your head? I find it helpful.
Take care and rest up with lots of fluids. 🎶💕🎶

Re: Night Shift

Traitors, coming over to the dark side like this, triggering my bpd, andoning me ... How will i cope? lol Not really. Just realised how fae I've come in that regard.

Just took pup for walk, he yaps when u tie him up, and while I was on the chemist he disappeared - a passerby took him for a walk to calm him down, far out! was in a panick but they appeared. Not taking him shopping anymore. Three people pulled me over and asked me about work? Honestly, isn't there anything more important to discuss? Never Mind.

@Decadian, did you know viruses boost the immune system to fight cancer? Everything has a good side. lol, get well soon!

Pray for me, I'm about to climb a ladder, put the cover back on the exhaust fan and drop down a broken sheet of fibro which looks nasty behind, a giant spider might jump out at me, oh dear, better wear gloves. Well better get on with it.

Your a gun @Former-Member
Omg I've just done longest play, coffee dates thing at our place...I'm exhausted.
I think I get a bit anxious, then have to download the whole session.
I realize some mum's don't cope so well being a Mum. But complain all the same.

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope.

Got glasses for reading, but had eye floaters since forever. No known problem last I checked couple years back @Kurra.

Think I need to go on walk later. Blow the brain out. I'm starting to feel not so good in self.
