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.

Hey @Meowmy @Bill16 @TAB

Hope you're doing ok.

Glad lifeline helped a bit @Meowmy . You've got a lot on your plate!!!

I had both my psychiatrist and psychologist appointments back to back. All done - psychiatrist is sending my referral through to hospital tonight, so ball is properly rolling

I hope we all have good nights!

Re: Night Shift

if nothing else dont give up yr room and dont spend any money on them

@Meowmy just spoke w dr finally . I said just had a thought (pause) then I said am thinking Scarlet Pimpernel as in they seek him here, they seek him there re missed calls . he had a good laugh lol

just got to put bin out then hydration think. physio was not so chatty today, guess I was too busy exercising to talk. did more circuits this time than last week with less rest time [edited by moderator]. Legs were tender before even started circuits lol she dropped one exercise as I was having a moan about how hard it was. so asked her what it was, and added it back in lol

oh , she said am looking better I think. The dietician did as well lol
