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.

Ah re-hash that @TAB, @Faith-and-Hope,literally took 2 sips of coffee & spilt it all. 😏
S2 didn't want his ice-cream. Sigh.
No matter. Went on a walk 🙌

Hi @Former-Member, @TAB
Good luck @TAB with all impending appointments
@Former-Member. You are in the good and the bad of school holidays. It's always a mixed blessing. Stay sane (whatever that is)
💜😊💐 (finally feel good enough to put a smiley face on again)

My phams worker just dragged me up and down hills for 5.3 km. I'm amazed I did it. Will be sore tomorrow but glad I did it and have her support. She has seen me twice this week to help pull me through and I'm grateful. Yesterday I came really close to messing up my record for this year😱

Re: Night Shift

I decided to just throw in bin! @Faith-and-Hope.
Definitely one of those days when I could say a lot, but best keep thought to self!
@Former-Member walking is so good I think.
It does something to lift mood.

Re: Night Shift

Oh no @Faith-and-Hope 😁 That's the last thing you need right now. Sending hugs. Lots of them as your stress levels must be reaching new heights. Crossing fingers you're enacting lots of self care💜😊💐

Re: Night Shift

Went to the physio this arvo. Quite a difference already and even the strapping I'd done was correct. Feels heaps better already. Exercises and all that blah to do. Strapping each day. All is good.

New job going ahead but I haven't got a date yet. Also been asked to apply for another job which is a people person job. Woohoo! It's all go.
@Former-Member don't you go overdoing things.
Hope you've had success at the dentist @TA
@Former-Member try to stay a bit busy to fend off the drop.
Hugzzz to all 🎶💕🎶
