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

Thanks so much @Former-Member. It's amazing how the circumstances can be different but threads are the same or very similar regardless, isn't it ?

Not much stretch left in my elastic, but I can see signs that a change is coming soon. Even that is a bit daunting, because there may not be much I can control about it, and it's hard to predict the immediate outcomes ....... but ....... the changes can result in everything coming to rest in the right place eventually.

Dozing off, and need sleep to function ........

G'night

💜

@Former-Member

A lot of our stories are so big they can only be delivered in increments anyway, after an initial outline.

I agree with you tho - sharing stories helps up to engage empathy and understanding, promote courage in each other, and find strength in numbers and common experience.

Take the time you need, and the mods help us ... I posted first on the Carers Forum, and there were some specific words that stopped a post from going through, with highlights about how to correct, or what to rephrase. They can also email you, or you them, to sort out any grey areas, or remove posts and retry if you find you are uncomfortable about something in hindsight.

G'night: Take 2 😊

Re: Night Shift

I am back if anyone is around to chat. Wide awake with energy surging after only 1 hour's sleep.

@Former-Member when you start you new thread can you please tag me so I see it when I get back. I hope you feel good during and after writing it. There are quite a few of us here who really care about you.

Hi @Snuchu if you are out there 🙂 I hope you are starting to feel better by now.
