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

@PeppyPatti for self care I'm pretending everything is fine, you know, fake it till you make it. I realise I'm doing all I can, all that life is letting me do, unfortunately 90% of the problems around me are out of my control. It's like being on a roller coaster ride that's on fire, except instead of looking at the flames and the scary stuff I'm either distracting myself with the phone or focusing on the pretty scenery as it flies past. Oh how could I forget using humour to mask the truth and trying to keep busy so my brain can't jump in with negative stuff.

Just another day in the office really.

I feel I should reassure readers that the pandora's box does get opened during weekly clinical psych sessions / aka a safe environment, just in case anyone was worried about a massive sadness explosion of so many repressed memories and emotions.

Have a 'tastic Tuesday everyone!
