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

Just catching up on posts.
Bah ha ha ha! love that joke @Appleblossom,
"Dogs have masters ... cat have staff" so true, cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh.
Although i sometimes wonder when my dog tries to force his way under the doona with me.
Pets bring us joy 🐶🐱🐤

Re: Night Shift

With that delish chicken soup you've got going on there @Former-Member, it should pass quickly - cat allergy aside ...,

😊

Re: Night Shift

Just listening to the news about the British murder of Jo Cox. What bug me is the bad wrap this is giving Mental Illness as they tag this murder with. Does anyone else fear more stigma from this unnecessary media hype?

Oh @Faith-and-Hope, took a min to process, yes I'm hopeful my spice laden chicken soup will help. Might have more for tea with yummy garlic bread this time.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @plasmo hows your day been?

Hi @BlueBay. I saw you've had a rough time at work, hoping that now your home you can find some time for you to unwind and de stress. Easier said than done I know. Thinking of you

Hi @eth, I read your holiday story. Sounds fabulous. I love Katie Noonan, gurrumul, Jen cloher and have their albums, also listened to Courtney Barnett a fair bit on the radio too. The whole festival sounds great bringing lots of parts of culture together in one place. Can totally understand why you are exhausted too.

@Mazarita It has put a smile on my face that you have had a good week, I really hope your coffee with a friend went well.

@Kurra I hope today went ok at work. I read your stuff too. I think I will struggle in the workforce when I eventually get back there for that stuff and top many politics. Good for you though to identify what you did. I really respected your thoughts and feelings on this when reading it.

@Snuchu, @Decadian, @Appleblossom, I've read a few of your posts. It's great that you've been able to connect on here with this stuff. I take my hat off to you all. You've all lived some really difficult struggles and you are all putting your best foot forward through such adversity.

@Former-Member. I hope you've had a good day. Have you done any of the scrapbook today? That sounds a great idea, I may have to try when I come out of my storm.

Hi @comet I hope your day has been good. How did GROW go? I'd be keen to hear

@PeppiPatty @Angels333 I hope you're feeling a bit better too

again sorry to anyone I've missed that I've chatted to recently,

hi to everyone else

😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Just to clarify @Former-Member (just read your post again) Comet is a male, and so am I...my psychiatrist set me up on here & the first name I came up with was the name of my cat. You can call me...whatever. I don't think that's too identifying..My cat is not well-known. I am kind, gentle, honest & straight. My darling daughter named my cat in 2009. Hope this helps. Hello to my dear psychiatrist if she's passing through...
