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.

Not silly when it's a validation of your emotions ..... but you can decide that it's a bit of an over-reaction, and turn down the volume on it ....

If that's not within your grasp at the moment, just persevere ... you'll get there ...

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Shaz51, I am ok thank you, I've been writing a lot. Glad you're ok too, sometimes one day at a time is what we can do, I understand, and I think MI should take priority.

Hello to everyone, how are you all? I still feel very new to this forum, but thank you to everyone for making me feel welcome, and to SANE for offering this forum. Should I use the @ more?

Hi @Lostboy

Welcome to the forum!!! Actually I think you liked some of my posts on BPD??

If you use the @ symbol and then select the right person you want to talk to. By doing this it then gives notification to the person that they were mentioned in a post.

hope to chat again, take care

Re: Night Shift

Hi Guys

How are you all?

Hope you had a good day.

I had my gym session tonight and my EP said I needed to see my GP tomorrow.

I have made an appointment at 8.30am so that is good, not long to wait.

I just hope I sleep better, I am just feeling a bit sad and upset tonight- but I will get there.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @BlueBay

Thank you! Yes I have read some of your posts including a poem you shared that I related to and saw much strength and determination in, if I may say so, I write poems and songs and lots of things myself.

I am still waiting to see a new psychiatrist before I say much about BPD.

Thanks again, I guess I'm just learning the etiquette here. Hope to chat more too.
