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

@Faith-and-Hope, that's awesome... I do hope she gives me that credit, AND gives me some leeway. I don't think they will want to take care of my ADD before they take care of my drug problem.
Does that make sense?

You're right about me doing what if's, I should stop. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll follow that advice. 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Snuchu

If you wrote in your email that that is what has been driving the drug problem, they might be able to deal with both, if not at once, then very soon, one after the other. Just have to wait and see, which is easier said than done, so distraction and good company staying on your menu is a good idea .....

Re: Night Shift

Look them up ...... I reckon you'll like Avatar for sure.

Now You See Me is about a set of magicians. I think you will like that one too.

Re: Night Shift

@Faith-and-Hope, I completely forgot to mention my ADD symptoms, my fault.. But I'll explain more deeply when my nurse replies.

Re: Night Shift

Can you send a follow-through email now @Snuchu ?

It sounds like it is important, and will be likely to affect her decision.

She will already know the drugs are likely to affect your communications a bit, so a follow-through when you realise the need to explain further makes sense.

You're actually being pro-active about your health care, which is a good thing .....
