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.

Dearest @Mazarita

So thinking of you. I have so much to write so can I start by a general Anne uplift message??

My darling husband has worked out his password and can use my computer all the time now.....such a relief.

@Mazarita Love the messages your getting. @aButterfly might be right.....just things he's getting used to and he needs some time to work it out?? Did I get this right aButterfly?

@Jacques message is so correct, you have changed so much. I remember writing to you several months ago how much you have changed and maybe.....you just need to rest, not just because of meopause but because of all of it???

Your messages have Always been so correct, calm ans reassuring.......

Dearest Anna....@aButterfly,

I dont know if you can do this but it's just a suggestion....theres this good good audio book that may help your friend out called Whereever you Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat Zinn......I've got a download of it ....I can try and put it on here a little on later tonight....

Maybe your friend would like it ?? Your a genuinely good friend.

What is your gut feeling??

Hi @Former-Member,

Good to see you, how are you feeling with your new place?

How you going? I'm waiting for the washing to finish before i eat my chicken and go to bed!

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member. Sorry you are feeling bad. Hope Offspring is helping a little.

Partner still hasn't come home but has texted that he'll be back later, thank goodness. He's driven right out of the city to another coastal country town. I hope we are going to be okay. Keeping myself as distracted as possible.

Re: Night Shift

OOOH nooo @Terry lol sometimes terrible tv is the best tv!!! 😄

Hi @Mazarita i'm glad that your partner has texted, hoping that when they get home things will be ok and you'l be able to work together to sort things out. Keeping distracted is probably a good thing, how are you distracting yourself tonight?
