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

Is this the weekend the kids are with their dad @Former-Member
? If so my thoughts are with you. It's a hard thing at the best of times without all the stress you have. I used to have to put mine on a plane twice a year to see their dad from when my kids were 7,6,5 and 2.

What are you doing to keep yourself distracted @Former-Member?

Re: Night Shift

It took many years before I got used to it @Former-Member. The hardest was the first time. My youngest was a baby only 18 months old. He screamed because he didn't know his dad. He is now 16 and has survived ok. Having said that their dad is an arse and two of my kids won't have anything to do with him anymore. Keep believing it will work out ok😊💜
