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 still got it in my mail box @Former-Member and it made a lot of sense

My grandparents lived through 2 wars and the depression - and it seems to me that there have been wars all my lifetime - since WW2 - but back to our olds - they did live life hard and rough - and they were survivors

I went on to answer your post anyway - but decided you were right - and that enough had been said

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Decadian, haven't caught up with all your posts tonight. Wishing you well always though.

@plasmo, I'm logging off now to wind down before bed. Hope you have a good one overnight. Who knows, maybe sleep will arrive earlier for you than usual. Cheers.

Good morning all. Actually got a full night's sleep last night (first time in over 2 months). Champagne corks are flying!

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @Mazarita and anyone else around. Sorry I didn't respond last night @Mazarita but I was feeling tired and flat. Sometimes I just don't have the words at the moment. Thanks for wishing me well with the ap't today. Have to leave in an hour. Have reached a point where I can't really prepare for it but will just tell him what the last couple of months have been like and play it by ear. Don't have any expected outcome.

Re: Night Shift

Good morning @Mazarita. Great news that you had a big, big sleep. Well done. Do you think it could be connected to having resolved your issue yesterday with therapist? Hope so, & that there are plenty more nights like that to come..Enjoy your day. Best wishes to you...

Re: Night Shift

Hi @comet How are you today?

@Mazarita I knew I forgot to say something... I'm also really happy for you that you worked things out with your therapist. There's a lot to be said for continuity and not having to start again with someone new. You clearly handled it well.
