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, who knows, I might graduate to djembe drum after I've been at the uke for a while.

Re: Night Shift

@Snuchu Glad you've had a friend around. That would help I'd imagine. 😊💜

@Mazarita @Faith-and-Hope I'm still struggling with what happened yesterday. Not sure what to do but don't want someone to stay away from the forum because of me😔

Re: Night Shift

Hi @BlueBay thanks for the hello. I'm coping but have been a bit down and not on the computer anywhere as much. Hoping you got some good advice last night about the anxiety of letting our kids go. I used to go through it intensely (mine is also legally blind and travelled to Japan at one stage). All I can say is we survived it and they probably have no idea how much anxiety it triggered to this day.

Re: Night Shift

@Snuchu, a friend visiting is doing something with a day in my book. Enjoy! 🙂

@Former-Member, thought that might be the case for you today. I didn't see any of the original posts but there's probably not much more you can do at the moment, I imagine. Try not to take it too much to heart, these things happen. I too really hope they will return when ready.

Re: Night Shift

Hi all just popping in briefly before heading to my friend's house for the day and overnight.

@NikNik I'd really rather not have to change my user name. Don't understand why this was never a problem until recently.
