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

Oh @comet, that sounds awful loosing your psychiatrist. I would feel terrible too. The right person can make such a difference, a life changing difference like turning your life around. I feel for you so much, it would destroy me but I think you are a lot stronger than me. Will you try and see the new one?

The weather is crappy here too. I drove in the wind, rain and fog this morning, not much fun. It's cold here and it's the first morning I haven't gone outside for my coffee.

Re: Night Shift

Upon reflection @comet I guess your psychiatrist helped but the credit for turning your life around goes to you, you did and are doing the hard work😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Asked her recommendation on who I should see. Have seen just about all the others at Comm mental health over the years @Former-Member. Have to say not that inspiring, if that is the right word...she gave me the names of a couple of private psychiatrists. At least then I would have an hour....an up-side. Am sorry to hear you are a bit down too. My thoughts are with you..

Re: Night Shift

Have to say that so far I haven't found one at my community health centre that inspires me either @comet The one I see now is supposed to be good but we don't connect for some reason.

Re: Night Shift

@comet. I really didn't mean it in any way but as a joke but it was probably done in bad taste. I think I was just trying to feel better about myself and miss fired trying humour. I hope you don't take any offence to it. 💜

I really feel bad about it. So sorry💐

Re: Night Shift

I am just really, really sorry @Former-Member. For me to even have mentioned it was a moment of complete stupidity. Madness even. Very unthinking. Eternal regret for putting it out there at all...the absolute last thing I wanted was the result but if I would of used my brain I would of known that would happen. I am deeply sorry.
