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

@PeppiPatty, sending you hugs. It sounds sinister, scary and no wonder you feel surreal. I hope the appointment with Headspace is very soon. You did the right thing taking your son there. In the meantime I am hoping you can remember to breathe deep and even sometimes. It might help when you feel yourself too upset or thoughts racing. How awful it sounds. Hug again.

Re: Night Shift

Ok. Im breathing deep. I've written a message to a father of his best friend who I know is close to my son asking him to keep the message confidential but if he could take my son out for coffee. I've sent him @DracO s lovely message from someone. My beautiful son

Re: Night Shift

Dear @PeppiPatty, hope you had an okay night's sleep and are feeling a bit better this morning. What a confusing time it is with what your son has said. If the memory is real there is help at Headspace for him. The same if the thought is something that has arisen due to mind altering substances. I really feel for you having to go through this in your own mind and hope you can get some peace from it.

Dear @Shaz51, hope you and hubby have a great day today!

Re: Night Shift

Dear @Mazarita Im trying to do @Shaz51 heart message how to do the red heart message....

Thanks, thatk you for pinpionting where I am @Mazarita

I've told him, when he turned up.we didnt want any rent or paying of bills but we wanted him just to be responsible. He went out and bought us a huge grocery shop....good man, good man......

I'm feelng just so devestated, this sexual abuse is ...oh so confronting. I'm very very pleased that he made an appiontment at head space.

My Mum rang me this morning, he was fishing for info.....wow, I feel like she takes my ideas and acts on them straight away.

It's none of my business to tell her anything that he has said but I tell her that it

Isnt too stressful to have him in my life.

He is going well.

There is nothing I can do...I need to take my own advice and just be myself. I can give advice but I must act on my own advice as well.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @PeppiPatty,

I am os proud of the way you are handling this, it is very traumatic for him i know from personal abuse it had devistating impact on our lives. i am glad he is seeking professional help and i am so glad you are supporting him. what a wonderful man doing some shopping.

It is not your fault what happened @PeppiPatty, the past is the past, their is nothing you can do now to stop what was done, you need to focus on now and the future and getting him the best treatment possible and helping him rebuild his life.

Hugs @PeppiPatty, my thoughts and well wishes are with you and your son.

Jacques
