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.

I was just relaxing on the couch @Snuchu. I'll go now and try to have some sleep. It's been good getting to know you a bit better. Hope your day goes well 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Hi all.

I'm sitting at the art centre having a coffee, and listening to the crows (how do they go again @Silenus - "faaaaaasrrrrrk ! faaaaarrrrk !" 😉) and the background music.

S2 got himself here today, self-motivated. I think I'm in shock, it's so great !

I'm also feeling fuzzy and very tired. I think it's bsckwash. Trying to have a gentle day today.

🌷

Re: Night Shift

I'm sorry Jacques. I know how much support you've been providing. You have truly gone above and beyond. There is nothing further you could have done. Not without risking your own health.

I heard you might have been on chat with Lifeline. Did you end up giving it a go?
