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

Yes @eth mum thinks the same, see someone new, I don't know if the doctor will let me.

Re: Night Shift

It's worth asking @Jacques. I think they probably will, especially if you explain why. I would ring the clinic and ask for a call back from the doctor rather than let it ride. You have a right to self determine your treatment.

Re: Night Shift

Thank you @eth, I will get mum to sort it out, I am too anxious too.

Take care my friend, I hope you are OK.

Hugs to all the forumites, I miss you all

Re: Night Shift

That's good @Jacques. I think a lot of people have been involved in the discussion on anxiety and depression tonight but it just finished so maybe some of them will pop up here now.

Re: Night Shift

Yep, just finished participating in the anxiety special event with Sarah Wilson. Will take a break from here after this post because the event was quite fast paced and intense. But just want to say yay for @Shaz51 getting the ute and hearing aid back. And to agree with what @eth has said to you @Jacques about needing to see a different psychiatrist (how could you ever trust the one you have been referred to?) Most GPs will be fine with that kind of request. If you are too anxious to organise it and your mum is able to do it, that's great. So sorry to hear you are coughing up blood. I had chest x-rays too recently. They are quick and easy to get through. Gentle hugs to you my friend.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @eth .

I am trying to experiment with brighter colours, and leaving the image in a slightly looser style. It's my nod to Impressionism. Otherwise my paintings are quite photographic, strong realism.

I'm you like it.
