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.

Ugh ..... 18yo dragon babies ........ they improve with time ❣

BTW - I ❤️ red hair .......

Hope you enjoy your breakfast out. It's a favourite part of the day for me - yep, always been a sparrow 😊

I am hoping to see some dolphins down at the river this morning. I haven't seen them in ages, not that they haven't been there. You have to be around when they are passing through. They are such strong, playful and majestic creatures !

Pretty much peri menopause I think @Mazarita. I've had a better run this year but it's PMS time. Sometimes it makes my mental health go a bit hey wire and I have a lot of SI. I'm trying to keep it at bay but this seems like it's gonna be a rocky week. Never mind, you get that.

I love the dragon babies @Faith-and-Hope. My 16 year old isn't too bad at the moment but I think that's because he is never home. He has spent the entire long weekend out with me just being taxi ferrying him from one place to the next with a shower in between. It's his reward though for helping so much with the move

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, I think I went through things worse when I was in perimenopause. Since starting the full phase of it, the main issue is running hot and cold a lot, not particularly noticable mood issues (aside from the usual bipolar ups and downs). Hope the week is much better than you are anticipating. Gentle hugs.

Re: Night Shift

I commiserate my milestone birthday next year so as my therapist keeps reminding me with her cheeky smile I'm at that age. She is 10 months younger so it's a bit of an ongoing joke.
