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.

My eldest stayed home with me today - she's going thru some seperation a anxiety I think is being very clingy so hopefully we all get to work/school tomorrow - what's on your agenda for tomorrow?

Re: Night Shift

I'm here too @Former-Member

Yes - I know what you mean when things jump out of the woodwork and make you turn into some kind of being to don't want to be

That happened to me last week - so I know that on-going stressors are a time to look around for the Second Last Straw

Can you tell us more about what stressors are happening to you right now?

Re: Night Shift

Sometimes I wish this could be a real time chat because it's easy to miss posts.

Re: Night Shift

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that @Former-Member. I guess sometimes for kids they feel stuff but don't have the language to verbalise it.

Re: Night Shift

Yes - @Former-Member@Former-Member

It would be great to chat in real time - it is easy to miss posts - esp if you find someone has written a long serious message - and it needs a long serious answer - and the short posts have tumbled through in the meantime - and it's too late to get into the convo the next day

Re: Night Shift

It's taken me decades to learn the language to verbalise things
