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.

You are so right!!!

Seeing as I love words and grammar how did I miss that one - there can only be one priority - I should know that there is a Priority

I had too many things I wanted to do first yesterday - in the end I went to the corner shop and got some frozen dimmies and vegetables and today - download ADOBE

Here is a simple stupidity - and I think we can have plural stupidities - I had to open a MyGov account - as welfare recipients must now - and it is supposed to be simple - but it's not

And after being with Centrelink for ages setting it up - I find I need a mobile phone as well as a computer - I have both - but I am weeping for someone like myself but without the wherewithall - which is more than money - to organised both of these things - and a wifi and a contract and all of that - find I have mail welcoming me to my mygov contacts and I need to down load Adobe as well - I can read the code PDF docs come in

Frantic thoughs - do I have enough space on my computer? - I have had this for over three years now - and I recently reset the whole kit and caboodle - and now - ADOBE so I can read the electrolic data I would rather have in the mail anyway

So today my priority is to download ADOBE - and somewhere after that - gather my scattered wits

After a bad day on Friday - I watched Star Trek - fellow trekkies - it's on again today - great episode

And felt as if I was getting a cold - itchy eyes, running nose - headache - maybe the flu - ahhhh - no - I have been vaccinated but they can't cover every strain

I am stuffed today - and so glad to know priority is singular and cannot be plural

Thanks @Former-Member

I guess we all need a break from anything and everything from time to time

I know I do - if you are passionate - that is a good think - don't lose your passion

Take your time - I value what you post on here - but yes - I will be thinking of your

Hey @comet, how are you going? Can you please explain to me what's going on for you. You know I want to be there to understand and help if possible. Sending hugs😊💜

Re: Night Shift

@comet, I've just tried to look above mentioned things, it's going to take a while to find an article I can access. Do you have anything that you know I can look up to learn about it? 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Buyer beware....wish I knew that years ago....a reading of 6.6 in ICU for a week.....nick cave & the bad seeds 'bring it on' & Nina simone's cover of 'don't let me be misunderstood'....neither what I would describe as being negative...buyer beware.

Re: Night Shift

How long ago was that @comet. I've been looking at articles which are mostly papers for medical journals and my medical lingo is not that flash so I've been trying to read between the lines. From what I understand there is physical and neurological damage, am I right. How does this manifest itself for you if you don't mind me asking. If I'm pushing you please don't go away, just tell me. Thinking of you and know you are struggling today💐💜
