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.

Dear @Former-Member

Firstly, I never thought that I would have the sons that I do have when they are the ages they are. I am so so grateful. My oldest son has had some terrible things happen to him; all family related; but Im not involved of any of it. So he allows me to visit him.

YEs, I seem to have just gotten sicker and sicker in the past month. My ears just went ferally blocked and infacted on Friday. Slow down Anne !! I thought !!!

I see my old PSychotherapist, I've seen her for over 13 years, we know each other very well. I went to see her re' my extreme stress in life; my youngest son and sexual abuse; my mother's craziness and it just came out; this is what I want to do. So, she give me...homework !! I was told to write a like...synopsis of the novel of over 500 words and like; pick out the meat of the bones of a story !!

It was very fuffuilling !!!

@Former-Member the way to get contact with @CherryBomb and @NikNik is via team@saneforums.com I think.

It is weird because I dearly want him to experience life on medication but you cant get involved......

Hi @PeppiPatty

I'm glad that your boys are doing well and you have good relationships with them both, even with all that you have all been through. I hope that my kids are ok when they grow up, its unimaginable that they'll be grown up one day.

I hope that you have been able to slow down a bit and your ears are starting to feel better. I am feeling a bit better from my cold but really exhausted. I dont quite know what to do with myself.'

Wow, thats great to start on your novel! how exciting to get those first 500 words out and start really doing it. Hope that it continues to fulfill you!

Re: isa

Hi @PeppiPatty. Thanks for thinking of me. I did contact them (Your details are right) and sorted the issue I was having.

Im sorry that you've had a hard time with your health of late but glad that you have such a great relationship with your therapist. She must know you well and I'm happy that she sparked the novelist in you😊💜

@Former-Member I'm glad your day has been relaxing. I think I forgot to mention you in my earlier post. I'm sorry about that. I hope you get a chance to bake cupcakes tomorrow with the kids. You must be close to your three things. How was the roast? 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Wohoo @Snuchu. Way to go. Funny thing was that I just slept too. Was getting wound up and needed to break the cycle. I crashed. I think the moving thing is catching up with me. Hopefully you'll build better sleep over time now. Glad your travelling well😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, yeah, but I feel wide awake. I wonder if this is actually hypomania... Caused by drugs, of course.

I'm glad you got some sleep too, at least it's more than nothing. 🙂 *hugs*

Re: Night Shift

It could be @Snuchu.
Hopefully you'll manage to get some more sleep. It certainly does help with controlling the mood swings.
Sending you sleepy vibes. ❤
