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

My oma had 5711 cologne too!! @Apple blossom...he,he I love your depiction of playing girl..
Actually funny how situations arise, last week I was in supermarket at night.
So young staff working.
The checkout girl was female looking, but spoke very male.
I found myself reacting like a girl!!! Lol
I left thinking now that was weird...

But yes sometimes having to go solo makes one feel more man like!!
I recall feeling that way at my dads funeral with my two son's on my own.
Of course I was also the single mum role too.

Hmmm, I was just saying to my psychologist how I think I dont notice if I change so to speak.
Its learnt response.
Not thought out.
Different situations, call on a different character or response!
To a degree we tell people what they want to hear at times!! (I think!)...
