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

@Mazarita. Do you find that being on here distracts you which in turn helps to make you feel ok or is it something different?

Re: Night Shift

Sorry I should have given you a heads up that I'm feeling intense. When I'm in this mood I fire questions. If you need something lighter please let me know. I'm not sure what to do with myself when I become intense😮

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, yeah, the distraction is good sometimes when I'm in this frame of mind. At other times there's a lot more to it and I really value being hopefully of use to other people in their struggles too. How is it for you so far?

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, did you get out for a walk? I'm probably going weird from being inside too much but can't motivate myself. Maybe tomorrow I might go to see a friend in the evening or maybe Sunday that will happen.

Re: Night Shift

Yes I guess I feel very much the same @Mazarita Sometimes when I need the distraction it is easier for me to talk about anything but me, sometimes I feel like I want to help someone. Sometimes I just to want to hear someone's success story
