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.

@Boosiebubs - this is Night Shift where our night owls tend to hang out .... operates 24/7 .... so if your having trouble sleeping, or want to drop in during the day, suit yourself.

Sometimes it cranks up with a lot of activity, other times it might be a quiet late-night chat between two or three people .... but just speak up if you're around. Others respond either in the moment, or later ....

I'm off to sleep now.

G'night all ....

💤😴

Hi everyone,

Thought I might pop in here and send greetings to old friends who might be around, and to new people I might meet.

I am home alone today recovering from being unwell in the middle of the night with vomiting. I am also on my mobile as I have my computer doing a big process that takes all its internet capacity. I have dinosaur fingers on mobiles so it takes forever to type out a message. But I am here for a chat for anyone who doesn't mind short replies with a bit of a delay, lol.

Cheers, Maz

Re: Night Shift

Hello dear @Shaz51 and @Faith-and-Hope. I am feeling a bit delicate in the gut after last night and kind of mixed in mood. My psychiatrist says I am currently in a 'mixed state', something we can have with bipolar that has elements of depression and mania at the same time. I think I am like this a lot actually, but it's only now he's named it to me.

But I am happy to be here chatting with you.

I see @Former-Member is in the thread too. We haven't met. Hi. 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Hello @Mazarita ❤..how does a mania/ depression look like for you?
I wonder on this one a little as it's difficult for everyone.
