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.

Re: Night Shift

Big hugs @Mazarita - I understand - just do what you can, which is sometimes "just breathing" & hopefully you can do more again soon....

I'm feeling pretty down & anxious now... I'll be right. Last day of being 33...

Namaste,

A

Re: Night Shift

Hi Dearest @Mazarita,

I know the foetal position well, sometimes it is hard to stay positive, i hope the sleep helps your body to regenerate it's energy, it is time to care just for you, please don't fall back into your old habbits, keep strong, allow these thoughts and feleings to pass, you will be the stronger for it.

You have achieved so much this year, you have pushed yourself hard, maybe this is your minds way of asking you to slow down a bit.

Take care, be safe, hugs, Be gentle with yourself

Jacques

Re: Night Shift

Thank you @Mazarita & @Shaz51....

I am extremely anxious & can't sleep.... My partner is watching Game of Thrones (which I don't enjoy), but it is an opportunity for me to stay up on my laptop for longer... (It is nice to have a laptop again!)

@PeppiPatty - That is bad news. When did you find out? Is it malignant or benign? Sending strength your way....

@Jacques you have such a kind heart...

Namaste,

A
