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.

@eth, @plasmo, later today I'm meeting up with someone I've known on the net on and off for at least 7 or 8 years. I did some vocals that were sourced from his writing for a couple of tracks that were made some years ago. I've met a few people I've collaborated with creatively over the net in real life over the years. Only one has become a friend in real life (the man and his wife I visited yesterday). Bit nervous about meeting this new fellow (at a local venue), but should be interesting.

I think it's great the way you step out sometimes @Mazarita despite the nerves.

@plasmo just put my radio on on ABC here and it's the same show. Talking about eurovision which I'm not into so probably won't stick with it tonight but good to be reminded that it's something else I can do in the wee waking hours.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, just looked up the radio show, looks like they talked about 'reporters in movies' tonight too.

@eth, the current outward social steps are also part of my 'homework' for this four week period from my psychologist - to extend the boundaries on my fears.

yrah it's usually good, sometimes i tune out for bits. it's usually better during the week, hard to get people on over weekends.

I'm going back to bed for a while now. Nite nite all 🙂

Hi all.

I am having a "leaky" day today. 😓

It looks like our breakthrough is around the corner, and there is a lot to process, and not a lot that I will be able to control. I have no real idea about how it will unfold, especially as my husband's reactions are right across a spectrum. He could go in any direction. I am hoping and praying he will just go along with it all, despite feeling confused, distressed, betrayed ...

We need diagnosis and treatment, because it will only continue to get worse for all of us without it, but the days ahead are intimidating, and I need to renew my courage and strength.

... 🐠🐠🐠 ...
