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 Hey TABs I am being crucified for being someone I am not online and in rl. My children say I am a good person, my ex and family and dear friend say I am a good person .... I dont know what is real anymore am I a good person or a piece of scum.

Sure I have done things I regret when I was mentally sick (some of wihch I am unsure even happened) but other than that I have been leading a boring, stable life. I am at a loss at what to do to be honest. Are the things that I am being accussed of against the law .... yes. Am I doing them no. How do I know these things are being said? people are very unsubtle and have ways of making you know ....

I just dont know what to do which is why I just want to take the kidults, rabbit and fly away from here but where to go ..... what do I do my friend TABs.

Re: Night Shift

I crashed super early @plasmo @Bunniekins and slept through mostly, think really needed it

Um yeah GP, accept things, accept yourself, you are not your actions. Just try to stay safe, maybe best to leave that 'other side of business' (movie pun soz) alone for a while
