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

Morning @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member ❤
I had a running movie of my life the last 5 year's going in mind yesterday.
.. in snapshots many moments, many feelings, places etc ...processing very quickly but releasing in a sense.
Possibly my therapy session brought this forth..feeling.
I read a well written sbstract piece of a lady utilising a well frequented staircase to represent her low & high cycling.
Ive started a journal myself to process out., plus phone ap mood tracking.
For now o narrow down specific diagnosis per se is not straight forward.
Ironic heh I'm the mixed bag!!
Sorry I'm a bit out of touch, my feminine cycle has returned, I'm feeling in pain.
I recall this happened to me after my first born.
Very painful.
I actually feel nauseous.
Wishing you both a lovely day..💙🌌🐬🌊

Re: Night Shift

Phew. 😱
I knew it was coming. I have low blood pressure. Felt myself going funny in the head, incredible pain + nausea.
Forced food in, to stop the fall.
I have a tendency at feint sometimes.
Feel heaps better.
Wow, I'm a bit shocked. This hasn't happened for a while.
I only have my youngest at home @Faith-and-Hope.
He patted my shoulder as I cried.
Such a sweetie.
I'll be ok.
Gosh, think you are right @ Bridget, the session must have been a lot to process this time.
Thank you both.
❤

Re: Night Shift

Take care @Former-Member .....

Is there somewhere to restrain your youngest if you did faint ?

Play pen maybe ?

I used to have to sleep sometimes when my older three were small. Had them spread between play pen, cot and stroller in my bedroom with TV on and toys all around them .... communal pyjama days ....
