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.

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member. I just typed something & lost it. @Mazarita has nailed it again (she always does). I am so very, very sorry to hear that. That is truly despicable. You are such a strong woman to tell us that, to be open. It shows you are full of courage!!!. I really am numb to that & can only imagine how incredibly heartbreaking to be put through that. You have been betrayed on so.many levels.As tough as it feels at the moment, you are going to come back from this. You are dealing with this with professionals, & hopefully now, with your friends on sane supporting you too. We are here for you. Never forget that. We all care about you a great deal.....I so admire the person you are. I thought you were terrific when I first started here. More so now. I hope your OK. Thinking of you, & sending you respectful, gentle hugs.....

Re: Night Shift

Oops sorry @Former-Member .. I do try not to mix up posters here .. but always have lots going on. Just doing accompanying on piano with my son ...

Its great that you are still here@comet

I havent found any one yet who can truly "nail it" .. just talking and teasing it out ... not argung .. but its one of my least favourite expressions ..

there's a tough guy at choir who uses it lot and he doesnt realise how much he bulldozes me. He also means well .. so I have to read between the lines .. as usual .. one day I wish I could find people who actually understand me .. but had to make do with the proverbial "trying to understand others" as no-one has ever really understood me ..

Please dont pull out @comet how do we know where others are til we put things on the table.

Re: Night Shift

Hi guys
I'm sad ☹ for whatever reason, exhaustion sadness and darkness are surrounding me.
I'm tired and can't be bothered. Wish I could talk to someone anyone.

Thanks also @Faith-and-Hope and @Snuchu for your comments. I hope you are both well.
Hows your tick boxes going @Faith-and-Hope? I imagine you are slowly getting through your lists. I hope your family is going along with your script at the moment and there haven't been too many rocky patches, although you are made for dealing with them😊💜

Yes, making my way through them @Former-Member. Family going in and out of dragon mode (so what's new ??) but I expect it and generally take evasive action during weeks of high drama .......

Thanks for asking after me, and your sweet words of support and encouragement. Much appreciated.

❤️💗💜🌷
