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.

@eth, it went okay. I am going to take a bath and watch something on Netflix before I reassess if I need to go back to crisis chat or not.

Re: Night Shift

Ok, the fish is in the teapot (not the cake) but everything else is still up on the ball ...

I have just just had a call back from the school, and we have a contingency plan in place for tomorrow that looks do-able for D3.

Still swimming, but some of the heat is off ....... 🐠🐠🐠

Drinking tea, if anyone wants to join me ? .... ☕️

Thanks for the hugs, they do wonders 🌷

Thinking of you @Snuchu 💜

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Silenus. Your response made me giggle. I messed up again and hit post instead of the page number on my phone.

I'm sorry to hear that some are struggling at the moment and send kind thoughts your way.

I have been struggling this week too but don't necessarily want to talk about it. But I have a question. Does anyone find that they take on the worries and emotions of other people on the forum? Sometimes I seem to absorb them and I don't know how to find the balance.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member I did find that for a little while but realized through that experience that I needed to have boundaries on how involved I was with certain topics. So it is not effecting me in that way as much now as I pulled back a bit in those areas.

Sorry to hear things are difficult for you too at the moment. You know we are here if you do want to talk. 🙂
