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.

Hi @eth, responding now to your post as, with any luck, you may be getting a fuller night sleep in your tiredness after the time away. I'm guessing you could also be taking medical advice to avoid posting on forum in the middle of the night. I think you had already started the sleep chart before you even went to the psychologist. Good that you are seeing the extra bit of daily recording of mood in a positive light. Seems like you have returned to that and will be returning to psychiatrist at the right time. Thanks for your good vibes about how I'm doing with the green. Almost no cravings at all now.

@Snuchu, good to her you have started recording your intake. It's a good first step in itself to be doing something active about getting the green under control in your life. Congrats on the fast action on it.

@Kurra, about your question on the beer garden, it sounds like you have your approach pretty much sorted out but I would just further agree with other posters that it's important to keep yourself safe in that situation too. Not participating in that kind of talk is a form of protest in itself so I hope you aren't being too hard on yourself about it.

Hi @plasmo, and anyone else around in this night. Just dropping in to answer earlier posts. I will probably head back to bed very shortly. Hope your night goes well and that most of you are sleeping soundly.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, hope they are talking about something interesting. Any good radio on tonight?

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita haven't heard much tonight, later they'll be talking about arthritis

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, that's a subject that is relevant to me as it's possible I have some form of it. GP referred me to a rheumatologist today for further exploration of why I'm experiencing so much joint, leg and foot pain. Is it of relevance to you?

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

@Mazarita don't think i've had any of it, i'm often out of joint though

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo, hahaha, nice word play. Did you get out for a walk today? I haven't been doing much of it lately due to the pain but the doc gave me an anti-inflammatory and some pain relief to help me get going again so hoping to be back on the beach soon.

@Mazarita was going to go for a long one but was a bit of misty rain, just did a brisk walk for a couple of km, there was a shower on the way but i got under shelter
