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

@eth, it's awesome that you are starting up with the psychologist again, and I am impressed with how much time your GP will give to you. But, yes, I think there are limits to what GPs can do for the likes of us. Previously, you have in some ways seemed to me to be lacking enough support with your struggles with MI. I hope the psychiatrist comes through with the bulk billing for you too.

Me too @Mazarita. He hasn't replied yet to the Dr's letter. I'm going to get horizontal again and hope to sleep some more. Hope you can get some more too. Thanks for your support.

@Snuchu I hope your nurse works out a plan with you that goes well for you.

Good night/morning all.

Hi all.
Just back from the GP with S2. Got him sorted.
On temporary (3month) hormone med to get his days and nights back into the right order and get him back on his feet.
Long enough to get the background issue landed, hopefully.
Need to sleep myself now for a while.
Catch you later.

Re: Night Shift

Got another piece of our puzzle back in place today. My son was falling down under the weight of our family issue. I managed to talk him into seeing the doctor, and he's going to be okay now. ✅

Anything new for you ?
