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.

Dear @Former-Member

remember that youspoke to your Principal about your situation ...Dont feel bad but get into the experience of .....having a break from work ok.

I think that we have some similaritites in our Mum's and just to let you know; shes in my life. Every med Im on; I'm on the highest I can be. 6 a day. I'm incredibly ......in a daze a lot of the time and very tired. You have to take care of yourself honey because you do not want to end up like this.

I have no regrets though.........

I've got a lap band 5 yrs ago @Shaz51...it's the best tthing I did in my life for a long long time. I dont feel any different now Ive gone down 25 k but more more to go. Has your doctor taken into account that you clean most days and it's Physical?

@Appleblossom thanks for the brilliant books. Next week, I'm purchasing some stuff from Amazon and will get the books from Amazon or second hand from Booko.

How was your sweet paotato salad last night?

Dear @Mazarita

Have I told you that I'm leaning on your experience for my youngest son to quit the green?

I said to him to take it slowly and keep a diary with dates in it to cut down.

I cannot believe of your kindness to me. It's confirmed my decision to just do one kind thing a day because this is all that I can cope with. How long did it take for the mood stabilizers to work? I'm so incredibly happy with this visit by the Psychiatrist and I feel so cared for. I went to see the GP today.....they were so kind and gentle with me.

How are you? Are you energy zapped still?

@Appleblossom I havent read that book but I must say it looks like another book I wanna read @@

Hi @PeppiPatty

Thank you, I'm so tired. Life seems to be a never ending battle i'm afraid of the future and trying to stay on top of things. Thank you for always being so honest and caring.

I'm glad that the gp was so kind to you. I'm terrified of all my upcoming appointments with mental health people, i feel like decisions are going to be taken out of my hands and its just frightening.

Re: Night Shift

OK, have to ask. Why do I sometimes see an image that is nothing but a yellow/black triangle? I'm guessing it's because they are put in a private album?

That's all I'm seeing here @Former-Member

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Drac0

No, its not a private image but the picture will have to be checked and okayed by a moderator before anyone can see it so maybe have a look tomorrow. 🙂

How are you tonight? How was your day?

im trying to get some stuff ready for tomorrow but my head isnt cooperating.

Hi @Former-Member,

Maybe you should walk away for a minute and cave a hot chocolate or a cup of tea, sometimes we just need a little break.

Gentle hugs my friend, remember you can't control the outcomes of your appointments, so their is no need to worry, just focus on the here and now, and enjoy time with friends and people who support you.
