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

@Appleblossom here's hoping you feel better when you wake up. I usually find it really stressful changing Dr's and having to start over with a new one. I try to stay within the same clinic so that at least they can access my records and history.

Re: Night Shift

@Jacques that's really terrible that you confided in someone who couldn't be trusted and now they are using it against you. It's discrimination and bullying. Is it serious enough to report them for it? I'm sorry this has happened to you. Don't forget you have us here.

@Former-Member Why not call it a 'me day' instead of a 'blah day' - we all need one sometimes and with all you do I imagine you don't get time to just relax and be with yourself very often. Sending you strength as you prepare for court.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks for all the great comments. I'm now in the ER with gallstones! I hated giving them my meds list, why am I so ashamed. I wil not let it bring me down.

Re: Night Shift

That sounds painful @Angels333. I hope it gets sorted quickly. Please don't be self-conscious about your meds. In a hospital it will be seen as someone trying very hard to look after themselves and stay well. Feeling unwell and not taking meds on the other hand, you'll cop a fair bit of flak for that!

They're on your side

Re: Night Shift

Thanks all my friends.

Yes the pain was bad like childbirth. It came on after lunch it has subsided now. But it was awful.

Thanks for building me up regarding the medicine.
