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.

I am bowled over by the Joy Cox murder in UK. Its really sad things get like this. She was a hardly an extremist .. but became a target.

@Appleblossom

May so much good come out the public outpouring of anger and empathy in response to this incident, creating such a backwash of positivity and change, as to make that person and others like them insignificant to the magnitude of blessing that results ❣

That is the effect of martyrdom in all its forms. It can cause a quantum leap forward for society that gives tremendous significance to something that is otherwise senseless and monsterous ........

That's what I am hoping for.

Me too @Faith-and-Hope

The ebbs and flows of the "sensus fidelium" ... can be small triumphs of the human spirit "in collective".

Re: Night Shift

Thanks F&H

EVERYONE loves my cat - she is beautiful - very small though - there is not much cat inside all the fluffy fur

And she has me thoroughly trained

Thanks for reminding me - I had better cut up her chicken wing - she has to eat the bone first - that's her tooth brush - and then she gets the tiny amount of raw chicken

She has special needs - there is something special about a cat with special needs

Re: Night Shift

Hi all. I hope everyone is ok. I am still struggling but decided things were not necessarily better away from the forum, even more time in my head. I don't want sympathy or empathy but just looking for some good company. This is still a good place to distract from me and my issues but I may still drop out occasionally. Thinking of you and want to thank everyone for their support. Wow you guys were good at showing it. Besides that I need to keep @comet on your toes in the forum😜 now your a senior contributor. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

It seems to be that time of year for colds and flues @Former-Member, hopefully it will pass quickly. Sorry to hear about the dreams, here's hoping for a peaceful sleep tonight. 😊💜😴
