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.

Fancy meeting you here @plasmo

Did you ever get to see him in "Birthday Party" @cometI went to a few gigs at the Crystal Ballroom. I spent a bit of time re-reading my posts and others' posts quite bit when I first joined the forum. It does help us put reactions in perspective.

@Former-Member I believe we need to do a lot more talking about gender and sexual issues without defensiveness or accusations. it is such a difficult touchy subject ... for me too. Scare blokes off with bad hair days. My son says my whole life is a bad hair day.

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope It is a beautiful painting?? Brings me back to my brother and watching the noon epic on tele when we were kids. He talked about it as a concept back then, after watching some awful chinese movie. Hit the spot. Bella. Grazie.

Re: Night Shift

Just an image I have found @Appleblossom, this one ..... but it appealed ....... I love the concept of the Phoenix rising from the ashes time and time again .......

So many of you here have risen above your circumstances, time and again, just persevering in the belief that it doesn't stop here ....... that life can and will get better ..... and you will contribute to making it so !!

Images can be so evocative, and many Phoenix images are very fierce ....... I was looking for one that captures how fiercely powerful the Phoenix is, without being fierce beyond approach itself ..... although maybe I should find a "bad hair day" version for you too ........ ❣

dear @Kurra

I'm catching up on reading on the forums and reading about you being bulk billed by the Psychiatrist and also your specific medical conditions. Also, that you joined another online forum and you did'nt feel safe on the other forum.

How are you anyway? Your Psychiatrist sounds good too :0)

My body does'nt do as well as it used to but it's because of ....medication and.....my husband has been extremely needy in the past week. I went and got Arlo me dog groomed yesterday......It's been raining so much that he has'nt been for a run and he's going jumpy at home.

Kind hello, PP
