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

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope I guess there are many things that I've had to get my head around here. But mostly my son hates the new house and let's me know about it. I've had so many things triggering me lately that I'd given up. Today my therapist and I devised a plan to sort things out. I had so many things that I discussed with her that have been causing me pain but I guess it was a surprise to both of us when that's what I had the biggest emotional response to. I will wait until I pick my son up for now rather than risk falling apart but I guess from tomorrow I have to begin to pull it together. Thanks so much for your thoughtful response. I would be so lost here without you guys. Thanks again😊💜

Hi @Angels333

I'm sorry you are so ill - that is not good -

I feel strange when I click on a "like" for such a message - when I hate it that someone is reporting in sick

But I am saying - "I read your post even if I don't feel at all happy about what I have read"

So - it's like (oooh - bad pun) saying - "Gotcha - get it - I understand" in a super fast way

Gotcha @Angels333 - I get it - I understand

Please try to disengage from your son spouting off about the house. He may have been lashing out, baby dragon style, for other emotion-fuelled reasons in the moment, and trashed the idea of the house vindictively. It can be very hard for them to own up to that later and apologise, but it leaves you feeling crushed nonetheless ...

Dont do it for him, do it for you ❣and in spite of what he said. Make it a beautiful home.

I hope this doesn't come across as too rough, but he is lucky that you have put a decent roof over his head ... but that is an idea that baby dragons need to grow into ..... mostly they think the world owes them a home, and a living, and many other things they take for granted until they grow up and begin to shoulder adult responsibilities .... but even then as you would know from your others, they continue having their baby dragon moments throughout life ....

❤️

Got to go and feed my dragons, big and small, and I am nursing a headache tonight, so I am signing off for now. Have a peaceful night y'all
