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

Thanks @Appleblossom. I'm feeling like a completely lost soul right now but hanging in. I want to reverberate that message back of keep being you. You are a wonderful teacher of life. Don't forget to take some life for you too instead of constant giving 💜🤗

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I'm good- just a bit stressed.

I went to the local wildlife park today, it is part of training course. I need to spend some extra time in the park each week- I do that to complete my homework.

There so much swirling around in my head atm.

Tomorrow I have specialist appointment and I mite head down to the CWS (Park) . I am going to try to spend as much time down there as possible over the next two to three weeks.

What have you been up to today?

Re: Night Shift

I'm a bit the same with too much in my head @Former-Member and not letting go of anything. Hopefully the park is a calming thing for you.
I've had another down day but still not having many SI thoughts. I went to TAFE and cried most of the way there and home but held it together there although I feel very disconnected with everything at the moment. This afternoon ive collapsed in a heap and spent a couple of hours on here now. I think I need to go and do some things like get tea for the kids.
Good luck for tomorrow's appointment. Sending hugs 💜🤗
