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

Hello everybody Its getting late and fairly cool where I am. I had a lovely evening at my son's new choir. It was very good and there were lots of people we both knew. I had a "pew" reserved for his fans. My tagging key isn't working but maybe this will still post. Apple

Re: Night Shift

I need to find my boundaries so please tell me if I'm overstepping the mark. It is about something I posted on here. I think I have messed up with it. It may have come across more about me. In hindsight I may have been a little insensitive. I'm not sure if apologising will make it worse

Re: Night Shift

I guess after thinking about it I tried to work out if it was about me. I think the answer is that I thought it would be to help both of us. That was my aim.

Re: Night Shift

Does anyone have any ideas of how best to handle it. It's with someone who is having a hard time and I really don't want to make it worse

Re: Night Shift

Sorry @Former-Member I would need to know the specifics to be able to answer you. But if you're feeling that way maybe just ask the other person involved and tell them what your intentions were. In a forum this big we are not all going to see everything the same and not everything needs to be resolved every time. Sometimes it's ok just to accept that we have different perspectives and life experiences. And we can only share from our own awareness.

I really need to go to bed soon.
