Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

Hello @Lostboy, nice to meet you 😊..I think when I started on forum I was more self conscious of what I'd say...now I tend to say things and think later omg did I say that! But the more familiar the haunt becomes, the lingo just tends to roll. Lunacy madness and all! Lol 😁

Re: Night Shift

I understand the anticipation of appointments @Former-Member. Thank you, actually I have no clear plan for tomorrow, we'll see how I feel.

Thanks @Former-Member, nice to meet you too, lol, I get what you're saying if you believe me, I tend to think too much too, madness and all :).

There is something nice about this different way of meeting people, if you follow.

Hello @Mazarita and thanks for creating the night shift. Hi @Faith-and-Hope too :).

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

No ..... haven't heard from @Former-Member this afternoon .....

If she has gone to hospital it will take her a little while to settle in, and sleep was high on the priority list.

She did intend to post if and when she was up to it, so I guess we wait to hear ..... an send good wishes meantime .....

Hi @Former-Member ...... 💜💐💕

Re: Night Shift

.. yes I agree @Lostboy..just a new age way of conversing...Sometimes it trips me out! 😱😂..
It's nice to me because one is always able to share, what probably doesn't have happen readily in real life. Sad ..

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member It is a new age way of conversing, although I think I'm used to conversing more through writing than speaking by now. I'm glad it's nice to you too, I think I get what you're saying, the niceness and sadness, and although different this is still real life. I'm a little tired now for expression, although I hope to share more.

Peace, Love, Empathy.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Lostboy and everyone else.

Apologies for not listing you all but I've been up since 4 and will be up at 4. I'm a bit short on shut eye this week while I adjust to shifts.
I'm not worried about it though. I'm bright sure but I tend to be naturally somewhat ebullient etc.

I'm tired! This is the reality of a grounded person. I'm not heading for the stars but I am being vigilant for the slightest hint of becoming manic. The vulnerability will always be there.

Night Peeps. I'm off to bed now.
Hugzzz 💕 🎶 💃
