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

Sounds yummy @Shaz51 😊

4hours sleep is long. Yes, must have been tired. My hubby occasionally has a big sleep like that. He works 12 hour days sometimes.
I'm lucky to nap half an hour to an hour.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Shaz51, @Former-Member & @Former-Member....

@Former-Member I have an account at my pharmacy - I owe about $85 at the moment 😕 😞 - one of my psych medications isn't on the pbs + the pill + dental surgeries this year & it just all adds up - so frustrating... I like chemist warehouse for specials - although I don't spend $100 there, haha (my local pharmacy is another one) - I'm more likely to do that on activewear for yoga, haha... 😕

@Shaz51 are you seeing a specialist for kidney problems?

@Former-Member hope you get some better sleep soon!

My partner is making pizza & I'm struggling a bit, because I feel he is constantly frustrated with me at the moment - It feels so true - even though he says he is just frustrated that I think he is frustrated 😕 Probably just "paranoia"

I see my psychiatrist tomorrow...

I didn't do much today - 1 load of laundry, watched a documentary - Food Choices, facebook & internet browsing & I had a nap for about an hour - hour & half (can't remember exactly when I laid down)...

Ahimsa - Namaste,

Anna

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member. 😊 Chemist Warehouse is the cheapest here. Yes, I do spend a bit much there. 😀 It adds up by getting makeup, soaps, vitamins, I buy quite a bit there. We usually wait until the makeup is half price. 😊
Maybe your hubby is tired?? Mine gets very grumpy and frustrated when he's tired. 😮😐

Re: Night Shift

I'm a bit shy to say my age @Shaz51. I would say if this wasn't for everyone to read. Pity we can't message privately. I'm older than I'd like to be, but young inside. Sometimes I feel old though. 😂

Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I think he is always tired - he doesn't sleep well due to a cycling injury...

In the last few weeks I've noticed he seems frustrated with my "long winded stories", laughing at or saying "weird" things to sales assistants, asking for my medication (which is kept in the safe) etc etc. Tonight he seemed frustrated that I wasn't helping make dinner or doing the dishes, but didn't want me in the way (we have a tiny kitchen, due to living in a cabin) - as when I was putting food into the kittens bowls & then washed my hands - he said I was "dicking around"

It will be okay...

Sorry...

@Shaz51 - I hope the specialist is helpful x

Ahimsa - Namaste,

Anna
