Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

@TAB yes there are idiots everywhere. Shame you cannot walk anywhere at any time of the day without being hasseled. Son2 got called foul language the other day when he went for a walk to shops in middle of the day. He was quite shaken up about it.

Re: Night Shift

@TAB When I was badly manic and I would walk the streets at 3am by myself a woman came up to me and screamed loudly at me. I just ignored her showed no emotion because I was so manic and depressed at the same time. It was amazing I didnt get into trouble being by myself. I walk with neighbour now and we only walk in well lit areas and even then have come across some dodgy people.

Personally I think it is better to be safe than sorry and definitely not pathetic x
