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

ouch @aButterfly hope that the neck pain settles down!

Hi @Decadian sorry to hear about your last appointment not going as well... i get like that a lot in my sessions. just can't get the words out to describe either whats coming up for me in my head or just to scared that if i start to talk tooooo much will come out... so then my voice disapears altogether.

We don't always stick to talking at night time on the night shift either, sometimes we respond to each other during the day too. 🙂 its pretty casual.. but i'm glad you've found us.. I've noticed you around the place and think you have some great knowledge and advice, i'm looking forward to getting to know you,

Welcome,

Re: Night Shift

Thanks LJ - I am starting to find my way around the site and it is really good here - and very safe

I really got carried away at my last appointment - I was exhausted afterward and I had to get something for my dinner but didn't and fell asleep watching TV until the shops were closed - not good.

But I think after getting it out - and maybe it wasn't the words but the crying that helped -

But we do not like the hole other people have dug for us and we don't have to - we will find our own way with a little help from our friends

I will be around - I am awake a lot at night - it's pretty cool most of the time
