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.

@Jacques

I could see what you meant as a general comment and how @Terry took it to refer to her. I dont think you did anything wrong and it wasnt your fault. You have as much right as everyone else to express an opinion. I am hoping @Terry will re-read the post and realise. I am hoping she is resilient as well as confident.

Glad you are out and about visiting us.

Hi @Shaz51 Been thinking of you as I am going through sprucing up house and getting things fixed etc.

My head is spinning regarding ovens but I think I need to just bite the bullet and get a new one. I have put it off for nearly 2 years!

Night @Mazarita and @PeppiPatty

Re: Night Shift

Hi all,

It has been a really crazy busy few weeks. I'm feelilng very overwhelmed with work and im going to a conference that is 5 hours away for a few days tomorrow, which is just adding to the workload of how much i have to do (wasnt a choice to go/not go). but know i have to do it so I will just have to get through it and hope that it will be ok.

@Jacques I read your post to terry i too think she may have mis read or misinterpreted your meaning, as that sentence wasnt about her. I'm sorry you're having bad urges at the moment, stay strong and know that im sending strength your way, you have made it through so much, i know you can keep going and getting stronger.

@Mazarita - well done on working your first half day at the op shop! That is huge and even though there was some difficulty afterwards that's ok! I've been a mess at times over the last few weeks, im hoping its just an adjustment phase!

Hey @Appleblossom if you get a new oven you'll be able to cook a real feast for friday night! 😛 Sounds expensive but very exciting! good luck what ever you decide!

Re: Night Shift

I am so sorry if I upset you @Terry, I only mentioned good things in my message to you, I should not have said anything, I was just trying to give you encouragement.

Thank you for the tips, I will keep them in mind.

The bad thoughts are so overwhelming, I feel like rolling up the white flag and calling it a day. I know I can't, but it would be so easy to let go.

Thank you @Terry, sorry if I upset you, I will try to be more mindful of how I word my sentences.

Take care

Jacques
