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

I feel somewhat uncomfortable waiting, I don't know what to say today. Some days I have a lot to talk about but today I don't know where to start.

Re: Night Shift

I have days like that @Angels333, perhaps you can start by telling them what you just wrote, it's an icebreaker. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

I'm guessing a busy day @Faith-and-Hope. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@Angels333, sometimes your doctor or nurse or therapist has questions, and they lead the conversation sometimes, so let's hope for that! 🙂

If not, it's okay, just explain that you don't have any ideas to talk about, and maybe cut the session short.

Hello all. About to go in for my session with psychiatrist. A little nervous. Been diagnosed with bipolar since I last saw him...hope everyone is well & having a good day...take care.

Re: Night Shift

I understand @Angels333

I sometimes ring Life Line and start - "Ah - I don't know how to start" - so yes - that's where to start

Start with the so-n-so winter blues - Seasonal Affective Disorder" - that is a serious and prevalent condition right now -

I didn't want to get out of bed - I have things to do and people to see etc like everyone - but these winters days give me the stark raving lack of energy that is probably on everyone's list of things to talk about

Let's know how you go afterwards -

Re: Night Shift

I'm with you on the winter blues @Decadian Today is the first day I am trying to pull myself out of the totally dysfunctional mess that I have been over the last fortnight. Hopefully I can string a few days together but the weather is definitely against us - meant to be horrid in the next few days too😁

I hope you can find some smiles today 😊💜
