Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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 @Mazarita 🙂

I've been thinking about that, too, the challenge.

Still trying to learn how this site works, so pretty much hanging in the Beer Garden. Funny, that, as I think I could count on one hand the number of times I went there in BB 😄

Hugs 🙂 🙂 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Hi @PeppiPatty

I am in the city waiting to see my psychiatrist at 1pm

Today I want to go forwards. I wish I had the energy to thank everyone for being so kind and patient with me.

No more SH I just have to feel horrible and live through it. The flashbacks and shame and pysical pain 😞

But please know I am reaching out to lifeline and suicide on call

Re: Night Shift

@Shaz51 I think something has changed on the forum since I've been gone. It seems we don't get all the messages in a subscribed discussion thread like we used to. Is this right, @NikNik? I've only been getting email notifications when someone 'likes' one of my messages or directly tags me. Is that what's been happening for you too, @Shaz51?
