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

Hi AB @Appleblossom I recall your critique of people’s M.O.’s on here. Think @Bimby2 has it down pat. Cool minimalism ok seemingly heartfelt. I fill the gaps in with my imagination

Re: Night Shift

You @TAB and I, both have SOFTENED over time posting on the forum.

I am getting briefer, as I have been able to share a lot, have more support and am not so burdened by the complexities in my story, and feeling the need to be clear rather than keep being misunderstood.

I have seen a big change in you.

I dont remember being critical of different styles of forum use. I do remember believing and stating that we are all different and unique and that the difference matters and is good.

I am more critical of aspects of MH system due to losing too many close people, but also mindful, that I would not be here without govt intervention, in my childhood and parenthood.

Re: Night Shift

Glad you did not dissappear. @TAB

Colours have helped me recently, but for a long time things were a bit black and white. Life and death stresses.
