Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

You know @Former-Member. I don't often get the release others do through exercise. It often just makes me tired and grumpy the opposite to how it's supposed to make you feel. Just lately it's been good having accomplished climbing the hills, I think maybe more of an achievement but I know I need to keep doing it for my physical and mental health.
I'm sorry you are having a down day. Just count down the hours until tomorrow and hope tomorrow is different says the pot calling the kettle black. 😳💜😊💐

Re: Night Shift

Now I just need to break this cycle @Kurra. I need to get past my severe crashes, they've been exceptionally bad the last few weeks. Yesterday was the worst of them all, completely suicidal at one point. Last night when I was desperate I asked if I could go to hospital today if I didn't improve. Luckily today has been much better and no longer need it. I am needing to break this, it's impossible to live like this, one minute high and the next in the depths of dispair. There isn't much in between. Sorry my turn for a marathon whinge. I am thrilled for you that the news seems so positive. 💜😊💐
