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 I'm a bit confused with things going on in my life, such as my GP though. Not sure if I should change. He hasn't done much for me.

Re: Night Shift

it can take time to build a well relationship with a GP @Former-Member I remember when I had a good one, was years ago. Current one is okay, it took a lot of trial and error with others first though. Might be worth trying another one ?

Re: Night Shift

@TAB just booked one with a different GP at the clinic, it said he's only seeing his exisiting patients but I already go there and it still let me book it. I'll give them a call on Monday to double check & to cancel my existing appointment with my current GP

Re: Night Shift

Thanks, my current GP is nice but he hasn't really done anything for me, for my mental health or a Bunion I have. I had to keep begging him for an X-Ray & Blood Test, & that's all he's done. He referred me to a local Psychologist but they're not taking new patients. That's all. @TAB

Re: Night Shift

@TAB sorry to hear that. I'm still trying to find a Psychologist myself. I saw one recently, she was ok, but she hasn't even called, and this was before Christmas, to make another appointment. I can't even call the Telehealth company until Monday, and email them to ask my Psychiatrist a question.
