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 @Appleblossom @Mazarita @tonys @TAB @ArraDreaming @tyme

hope ur nights have been going well

sorry about yoru back, @Appleblossom are you ok? Is that the physio who helps you with that? Hope you're ok.

I'm busy between appointments and NDIS stuff and also trying to get back to self care. I'm in therapy all the time atm, like every day lol. I have a few different support people I see so not the one therapist just different supports like a counsellor, social worker, and pyschiatrist.

Holding my hands. And u guys!

is anyone up to anything nice tonight?

or watching anything good on tv?

I have been watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and want to watch a show on Netflix about a cult that helps people find their true love.

I think it's called "twin flame"

Re: Night Shift

That was so lovely @tonys and human

I like night shift too.

Wanting to help is such a human thing, and sometimes things come out wrong. Yet we can't stop the helping

It's so weird what helps . I hope everyone in pain can find something that helps them.

Re: Night Shift

Hey there @EternalFlower .. Thats the truth mate. Mind mechanics hey. Just when I think I

have the right spanners, the person in peril has swapped their petrol out, for an electric.

There are folks that have the tools to fix us, but as you have already found, There's a stampede for them.

It will take you some time to find support workers that are a good fit. Its no different to running a small

business. I found mine and they are troopers. Now I look after them like gold. Tea coffee lunch music,

and a happy environment.

Each one of them has, a mortgage, kids, traffic, stress, there own good n bad days, just like me.

Day I forget they are fallible, . . . . just like.. me I'll loose em to someone

more thoughtful.

How is your place coming along, and are you back into cooking again?

You have special skills in the kitchen @EternalFlower . I've not forgotten.

Well , Please don't neglect the things you love mate. Cooking, writing, etc. I for one read and enjoy your words, and your recipes are still on the fridge door back home.

Huge bear squeeze hug from me to you @EternalFlower . Some how I know your gunna break

through my friend. tonys.
