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

Hi All

Stopped to sort out lunch for my lot here ....... but I have been following along on my phone, and will be "back-liking" shortly.

@Decadian - I am so glad you feel to share details of your son's life with us. We call it "keeping him in memory", and it is honouring both the person he was to us here, but also that Communal Consciousness of what he in person, and / or his life's journey has contributed towards the betterment of us all. Your willingness to share the specialness of him with us allows that to happen. I feel so honoured by that. Bless you ❣

@Former-Member - I love that you sat in your car so long sharing with us, and just enjoying that sunshine ........ I think if my car as a "home-pod" and believe me, it builds up internal clutter at the same rate of knots as the "home-home" does ❣

@Snuchu - love having your bubbly company on board with us here ....... and I hope we are helping you on your journey too ❣

Hi @comet - I am glad you spoke up. Sometimes I just tag along with the chat on the forum, learning, and processing, and sometimes grateful that someone else is expressing what I feel, even if I don't pipe up and say so ...... ❣

I really relate to the Brene Brown talks. She's great.

Re: Night Shift

Yes she is @Faith-and-Hope. She's my new idol💜 So much is transferable and I love her humour. I just got home finally. World record longest breakfast😝

If you get a chance read Brene Brown "Rising Strong". I think you'd like it

How are you both, @Faith-and-Hope and @Former-Member?

Re: Night Shift

I'm okay @Snuchu

A bit fatigued after weeks of attending to mini-crises with my family, but I am looking to head out for a massage shortly (last item on my pamper list @Former-Member 😊), so hopefully that will help.

I have been trying to rest up as much as possible while my husband is away, so ha e been snuggling up into bed most days when I get home from school or shopping runs, and cooking really basic stuff that takes as little energy as possible.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @comet. I'm really sorry about my last post. Sometimes I get it terribly wrong. I never meant to put you on the spot which is what I think I did. Sometimes I can be very clumsy both physically and socially. My only intention today was to be as inclusive as possible and trying to give you a gentle 'push', however I think I came out a bit too strong. I don't need to know anything about you, that's your business but I wanted you to know that I care and enjoy seeing you around here as does everyone else I'm sure. However you choose to participate in this forum will be appreciated. I'm truly sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable today 😊💜

pS I also edited one of my posts to you today but not the one mentioned above

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Snuchu. Sorry this was just a quick drop in as I had the last post I wrote on my mind and wanted to write it.
