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.

Hi @Decadian

the brain is an intriguing thing, isn't it. It tries to protect you by repressing disturbing memories; unfortunately, if the pain can't be worked through it manifests itself physically. I have a complete blank for the whole of my school time. It took all my strength and energy just to survive; I remember almost nothing - no names, no faces, no events. I'm told the same kind of dissociation as in trauma also occurs in ongoing severe stress.

I'm excited to discover how much of my challenges will be alleviated by a realignment of the vertebrae. If you consider all the functionality passing through the spine the prospects are quite exciting.

I love my garden @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom - it keeps me grounded on so many levels. When I lived in Brisbane I just had a balcony, but that is certainly enough to grow at least herbs.

My garden is relatively small apart from the veggie patch there is just enough room for two dwarf fruit trees; a nectarine and a plum. Of course, there are lots of flowers, lots and lots of flowers.

Good night, sleep well.
