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.

@Mazarita did you get into the cooking tonight? I'd love it if someone else cooked here more often!

@Former-Member happy for you that you got your packing finished at last - on to the next phase now. I hope you are finding somewhere you can stay too. You seem like a really strong person to me I feel you will achieve your goals.

Not sure about strong but I just seem to survive the crap that life throws but it's been exhausting and getting harder.

Re: Night Shift

@MazaritaYummy! I had leftovers of that chicken pesto pasta. Had a look at that link you posted earlier re PHaMs - look forward to hearing more tomorrow. The service provider for my area is Mission Australia. Not sure about them. Don't want to be forced back into job seeking, readiness for work assessment, that sort of thing which they tried a few years ago. They didn't offer me any other sort of mentoring or help at that time.

@Former-Member still you get up and make the efforts every day. Will you have a chance to unwind and go a bit slower now that all the stuff is going to storage or what is the next step?
