Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

@eth, the invite didn't go quite that far, hehe. Even if it had, I don't think I would choose to go overseas at this time for health reasons, physical and mental. I did go to quite a few film festivals with short films earlier in my life but haven't been in that world or had work in events like that for about 15 years. Looks like I'm getting a second wind with that now. 🙂

Re: Night Shift

@eth, thank you. 🙂 Do you have anything on this week? How is the chest feeling at the moment?

Re: Night Shift

The chest has been worse again this afternoon @Mazarita. Seeing my doctor again tomorrow but haven't made plans beyond that as I'm just not well enough to do much. Will get to the library as well.

Hi @eth

I am sending you hugs and a warm cup of tea and honey. And if you haven't had dinner Ive got some chicken soup again coming your way!! you need to take care and rest as much as possible. I had some sort of chest infection with asthma in March and was admitted to hosptiaal for a week. I'm glad you are seeing your doctor tomorrow.

Thinking of you, take care, sending you get well wishes xxxooo

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Mazarita
Hope you feel better soon - not good that you are so ill 😞

Hi all

I've been really low and not coping well. Hiding away inside myself mostly just trying to get to the next thing in the day or hour. So tired..

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Mazarita,
Feeling a bit like the awkward kid not knowing when to join the conversation.
