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.

Does anyone wake up to find you've crashed & dropped the phone while posting? �😴😴

Substitute iPad for phone @Former-Member, and that's me 😊

My kids have come in to my room, confiscated my iPad, tucked me in and turned out the bedside light on more than one occasion when they have found I have crashed ❣

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.

Glad to hear you've got it all sorted @Angels333 😊

Re: Night Shift

Just preparing for psychiatrist appt Monday. I like to write notes beforehand, be a bit prepared. Am looking forward to it. Watching Wallabies V England in rugby. We're down 10-0. How you travelling?. Bit worn out? I should shower too, does make you feel better. Hope your OK & that you have another improving day tomorrow. Kind regards @Former-Member. Aust now 7.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @comet. I just needed that. It does help to write stuff down for the appointments. I think they go so much better. I had a horrendous appointment with the psychiatrist on Thursday. I think I need to write things down for him. It's only every 6 weeks and so far I can't connect with him, I'm sure he thinks the same. Good to have a life update with the rugby.😊 My shout out was about feeling sorry for myself really. Was just really let down and hurt by my 16 yr old. Sometimes single parenting sucks. Sorry whinge over. How was your day today? Did you have nice weather? It was nice here which I'm sure affects my mood.
