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

Hey @Tyler77. great to hear from you but sorry that life sucks at the moment. I've been wondering how you are going. You need to do whatever it takes for now even if that is sleeping some days away. Drop in for a distraction any time😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, have you thought of trying to access the Phams (Personal Helpers and Mentors) program? I often suggest it to people on the forum as it has helped me a lot in getting out to various activities during the week. This has picked up things a lot from where I was. My psychiatrist was the person who suggested it to me. I can tell you more about it if you don't already know and are interested. It's especially focussed on people with long term mental illness who are socially isolated.

@Mazarita I'm on the waiting list for one. I've been on it for about 12 weeks. I had one over a year ago who helped. Now I'm just playing the waiting game on that and a few other possibilities.

@Tyler77 have you found anything that help pass the time away. Have you a favourite tv series you can watch or anything for a while?

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, that's great that you are already on the list for Phams. I waited a few months too.

I'm heading off to bed again now. Goodnight all.
