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

Hi @Former-Member and @comet

Watching the rugby here too, good game!

@Former-Member sorry you feel let down by your 16 year old. I remember how difficult the teenage years were - but they don't really mean it.

I think preparing for appointments is really important, I always felt like a victim before I started to take my own agenda with me as well. 6 weeks is an awful long time between visits! I have to see my new psychiatrist every week at the moment, definitely makes it easier to find some common ground when first getting started.

Re: Night Shift

@comet, I'm guessing a life update would be one where you hear no one has died in the match as opposed to a live update where you get the score😝

Re: Night Shift

I've been thinking I don't want to make a pest of myself with too many likes etc. I think your a fine person. And I just would like to see you happy.... That house move would of been very stressful for you..don't forget that. And its all done & you have 3 months therapy ahead of you. I would say things are only going to get better for you @Former-Member. I really believe that...

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member. I see my therapist every week but the psychiatrist every 6 weeks through the community mental health team. The plan was to find a regular psychiatrist but I cant find one that will bulk bill or has low fees. My son just begged me to trust him then I just caught him doing every thing I'd asked him not to. He didn't know I was watching. Glad you're relaxing watching the rugby😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@comet Don't worry about the likes. I felt bad because I jumped in on it and should have let it go.

Re: Night Shift

@comet Me thinks that we probably both over analyse things too much 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Kurra, saw you floating around. Have you been able to relax today after your hectic week?

Re: Night Shift

I'm all anxious and excited - rugby union is the only sport I watch - nail biting stuff, but in a good way🙂

Re: Night Shift

My little brain is getting confused...Forget who said "change the way you look at things & the things you look at change". Does not freedom grow but a beautiful garden...was it a daffodil you planted? Great that you had good weather, makes a big difference to me too. Try not to get downhearted...kids are challenging but they should be helping round the house. Now 13-7 down. Keep your spirits up @Former-Member.
