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

Hi again @Former-Member

Thank you for your message . Hope you had fun at the beach today.

Your dinner sounded yum

I understand your frustration in not felling as good as you want to be and your day to day struggles with depression. Hopefully soon you will be able to go away with your daughter but I think you are making progress in being able to manage going out for the day.

Hope you make some more progress this Thursday.

It was good for me to get today and socialize. I think the exercise as probably helped me the most and I really hope you can do some too. I say just go and do it and don't think about it because in a few weeks time you are going to feel much better for it.

I am hoping to go for a paddle next week with my brother, I can't wait.

Re: Night Shift

Fingers crossed @Lostboy!

I always think of an interview as a "chance to have a chat about the job". I also as the panel questions too. If you don't know an answer say so but tell them where you would look to find out the answer.
Hope to hear about how it went tomorrow. Not a good idea to pretend you're someone that you're not. Just be yourself. You'll be fine. 🎶👍

Re: Night Shift

Well done @Kurra on the new job. That's great it's all sorted.

Im currently shivering under my doona fully clothed. I don't know why but I'm freezing. Pretty sure we've had colder night than this. Not looking forward to the weather in the next few days. Tried to batten down the hatches tonight as much as possible as the forecast is so bad. Cancelled family dinner as my son will be trying to save the house he's living in if the forecast is correct. S2s girlfriend going to man her parents house too.

A nice hot shower in the morning I think for you. Hope your car heater warms up quickly

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51 and @PeppiPatty,

I saw you both mentioned me the other day. So very kind of you both to think of me. Thank you xx

I get the emails from this thread regulalry and try and keep up with the goings on but have had a huge amount going on myself and havent had much time to post.

Being home in Tassie isnt too bad. Alot of worries didnt end up being big problems which was nice. Its certainly not without problems, but different ones to anticipated.

I have found myself a wonderful GP which has been fantastic but not yet sort further help with my mental health yet, although I probably should. I have instead being dealing with other areas of my health instead. The GP has been a good basic support though for the 'head stuff'.

I am studying and working, both of which are going reasonably well. I dont really have any friends though (I study via distance and am a nanny so limited contact with people through my work) which has been hard and I struggle with lonliness.

Enough about me, how are you both and everyone else?

Re: Night Shift

I find it hard to sleep in the daytime too, @Shaz51 even when I'm exhausted. Hopefully you'll sleep well tonight and feel better in the morning 💜

Do you do group classes at the gym or your own routine @Former-Member? 💓
