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.

@Former-Member. So glad you are up & about. Good on you. Yes receiving & giving nurture is why this site is so valuable, amongst other things..Am pleased you have at least 3 months therapy ahead of you. You can achieve lots & move forward lots in 3 months! Here's hoping!...Are not pets the best things? Part of me would love a dog, but not now..Give silicone a try. Making sure surface is dry if possible...says he who is as handy as my cat. Best of luck with it!...you didn't push me about GROW in the slightest. Should of tagged you, sorry. I (and my psychiatrist would too) like you purr-sistence. Thank you very much for podcast info, you are most kind. Let us know how you go with the funny, Good luck!!!

@comet I saw that and laughed, knew what you meant. And it is a funny dunny. Walls are lined with cork with a colourful wallpaper. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hi, guys, I'm back from my trip. I enjoyed it, I bought a new game and a game figurine to add to my collection... I wonder if I can post a picture of my shelf? Anyone know?

@Mazarita, the trip certaintly made me feel better, thankfully. 🙂

@Faith-and-Hope, you may very well be right - I was kind of withdrawing from the green in the morning as I always do when I sleep... my symptoms vary. Gagging, nausea, depression, tiredness, irritability and the list goes on.

@Decadian, it's winter down there, right? It's starting to be summer here, the official summer date is June 20, so 3 days from now.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, I loved reading your response about how your daughter swims ♡

Your description is similar to most of my students. I do love my job, and that's why I felt guilty staying home.

I went to the art group I was running fully prepared, so that helped with the anxiety.

Next time I think I'll be more organised and know to not work on the same day as art group.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member tried to keep it relaxing, I think I'm getting the flu - my body aches all over 😞

How's your day been? Are you feeling better today?
