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

@Appleblossom, thank you! Mornin', all!

I do think that keeping positive as much as possible is important, but you also have to put yourself first at least part of the time or you won't be able to help others. - that is some excellent advice I received from a friend a while back. There are productive and non-productive ways to get anger out - non-productive ways to get anger out include hurting yourself and others; productive ways to get anger out include things like writing it down and, i dunno, other methods (you can look them up online). 'Be slow to anger and quick to forgive' is probably the best advice, and pray on it - you never know what miracle God will work for you! And yes, keep positive as much as possible, but not if you are truly bereft inside and hurting badly - then it's onto the phone to a friend for you or onto Lifeline (13 11 14). God bless 🙂
