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 @eth, thanks for the account of what you experienced. An amazing time it seems. The first night sounds like you had a really good time. The music on a stage by a small river sounds like a highlight of the event itself. How are you feeling now? I understand your exhaustion from exposure to the elements. Wouldn't surprise me if it took you a little while longer to recover.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @comet, how's it going this evening? Did the day treat you well?

I'm already missing @Former-Member too. But I understand she feels the need for a break for now, am thinking of her and wishing her well.

Hi @plasmo, nap well. 🙂

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

My day was relaxing mostly. It was one if those days where I didn't have to rush around, and just plodded along slowly.

I have to play the taxi driver for a little while now though, so I will be in and out for a bit ....

@Former-Member took a bit of a break, but we are hoping she will be back when she's ready .....

Re: Night Shift

You're right @Mazarita I am still recovering.

Had a bit of a challenge the day after returning - started again with the psychologist after an 8 month break. Wasn't easy. It was an evening appointment and I was not very alert as I was so exhausted.

Hi everyone 🙂

Re: Night Shift

@eth, wow, I can imagine how odd it would have been to restart with psychologist just after your trip away. Possibly a bit surreal, the contrast. Do you have any 'homework' from them? I told my GP today that I may not continue with my psychologist after the next session. She was okay about me doing this if I wish as I have good support elsewhere and have achieved main goal of giving up the green.

Re: Night Shift

Hi All
I put a post on the Beer Garden that would probably have been better to post here in terms of getting some responses / feedback.
Just thought I'd mention it in case any of you have some advice to offer.
Hugs tò All.
