Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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.

@comet. You may want to tag NikNik to make sure your last message is seen.
I've had my appointment. All ok for now, just a bit solemn. Thanks for thinking of me this morning. I was meant to take in all my SH stuff but couldn't do it, I was worried that she would cease therapy but she hasn't 😊 Had an ok session.
😊💜

Re: Night Shift

My first good doctor came out to my car when I told her I had bought r ope for the purpose .. and she made me give it to her. That she bothered to come out of her office meant a lot to me .. I met her later at an opera concert.

Then after that I went through all the "normal" items in the house that could be used. Thats just where my head went after that intervention. So it didnt really help. I had to put blocks between me and the part of me that cojures up SI.

It has to be inside that we work through it too. Maybe next time. For things of this gravity it is ok to give yourself time.
