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

Thanks for asking @Faith-and-Hope. Still having a rough trot, but picking up. Finally, the infection from the root canal work is receding. Becuse of that, I've had to pull out of the concert, I've prepared for since July - dreadfully disappointing. Slowly pulling myself out of the hole now.

And unsurprisingly, my children are not responding to any of my mails. It appears we're slipping into no contact again

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Ffm48

It's good to hear from you. Please remember that you are a part of this community now, even in your absence ..... there are others thinking of you, walking with your story, and wishing you well ....

I'm sorry to hear you have been suffering with your tooth. and yes, so disappointing to have to cancel out of the concert .... hugs ❤

Let us be your family for now while yours is in recovery, and please keep believing that .... the way to win over these sort of issues is to persevere indefinitely ..... if that's what you want. For some people it can impede their own healing to keep hold of a situation that is not working in the moment .... bit perseverance has a truth to it, and truth and authenticity are two very powerful forces in life. You have a full cheer squad bwhind you here on the forums if that is the path you choose. We will walk you home.

❤💐💕

Re: Night Shift

Thank you @Former-Member, @Shaz51, @Faith-and-Hope for your kind thoughts and words. Yes, I do feel part of this community, family even when I'm not actively on the forum. Sometimes I just can't get on. A couple of days ago I was prescribed a different course of antibiotics and they finally did make a difference. The infection seems to be subsiding. Tomorrow I have another dentist appointment; I hope she can complete the procedure then and things can get back to normal.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for asking @Shaz51. So far, so good. If it doesn't infect overnight, I'll feel halfway human again tomorrow. Next appointment in a fortnight.
