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

Yea @TAB am just tired of being on constant alert, because of mental stuff. I think it's part to do with how the medication I'm on works... and part analysis paralysis ... and part survival instinct... and part merry go round effect ... i see my dog resting and think-wow! I wish i could do that... you know-be at peace... Eude...

Hey Eude
@eudemonism

Are you in contact with any help team or specialists?

Either way, respite can help for sure.

Re: Night Shift

@MDT -the specialists are on a different page as myself... And the medication they're administering to myself, contribute to /are the cause of, the problems I'm presenting to them ...( so it doesn't solve anything ) -it just causes me more stress ...
