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.

Thanks darling. @Ainjoule . I bought a pair for my support worker too. She started having heart palpitations about accepting a gift so I just laughed at her.

How is the week going @Ainjoule ?

Re: Night Shift

Glad to hear some self-care today @TAB . 🙂

I've been thinking about what self-care i might do for myself today, after yesterday was stressful and such a tiring week. 🤔 I struggle with finding self-care that is actually impactful for me, as I'm social-connection oriented. But I can also feel good from knowing I've ticked off my to-do list for the day (short list today - laundry and chemist) once ive done them. And I have a massage today which is sort of "self care" by reducing pain afterwards, but it is painful during the massage so I dont think it *feels* like selfcare/relaxation 😅🤣.

I might combine the chemist with a coffee - either by myself with a book, or wait until some people i know will be at a specific cafe (they go daily at the same time) if i feel like seeing them.

I've been wondering if I should try drawing again as something I might enjoy doing by myself - and I can do either at home or go out.

I think I'd struggle to know what to draw though, so if anyone reading that is a drawer/artist and has insight to how they decide what to draw i'd love to hear!

Re: Night Shift

@AlwaysMyself sounds like a good plan. I write lists as well. dont always do them,but feels good to cross things off
