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.

Hi @eth
I'm on the quiet side though. I've got a wound or two to lick and probably need to shut down for a wee while. I'm rather distressed by what happened this evening but I'll be OK. I bounce back pretty well.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Kurra Can I ask you what happened? Was it something on the forums or IRL? Here for you if you want to talk a little.

Hi @plasmo I'm resisting going to bed too early too. If I do I'll be awake again before midnight.

Hi @eth
It was something that happened here on the forums but it's all done and dusted now -resolved I guess. My reaction hasn't been do good and I need to take the time to put my equilibrium back in balance.
The combination with two things that happened IRL at work have left me just a wee bit vulnerable.
Don't worry. I'm a tough old bag!

Re: Night Shift

@Kurra from what I've seen so far you are pretty resilient. And also wise to give yourself time to reconcile what's going on. If you choose to chat more in future feel free. From another old bag!
