Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

Hi @eth and @Former-Member

Today is so much better than yesterday - and I got my hair cut - and I feel much better because my hair past that limit of being one mm too long a few days back

Both you girls need a break - doesn't everyone

I hope you are both having a reasonable day considering the circumstances

Re: Night Shift

Dearest @Angels333

At least you were safe last week......

It's feels like you were very vulnerable when you saw him last week. Maybe you feel you can trust him.

Do you mind if I write you and all something ??

It feels like my life has been one big drama lately. I'm finding it very difficult to even work and I work very little but I so want to see my Psychotheripist.

I have a friend I have known aince We were 19years old; thats 30 years but shes done this Art Therapy course and it feels like; she just doesnt get it. She has started writing all her facebook messages to me ..." Anne, I'm sorry that.........."

but she Doesnt understand. She misses the page........I would never ever trust her with my story......I did do some art with her but again.......It was like she had already decided what I was like!

Personally, I'de definately give this Psychiatrist the time of day. I apologise for making my story personal.......dont know whats wrong with me these days....I'm dropping asleep all day........

I'm proud of you @Angels333........ it's really difficult to admit you've had an episode.

Care and the lovely thoughts to you. I wrap a crown of flowers around your hair........

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @PeppiPatty xx

Yes I have to see him tomorrow so I'm a bit nervous again because I was so lost in his office last week.

Do you have an appointment lined up soon?

It's tough when you can't trust friends with your story.

Keep me posted on how things are you.

Re: Night Shift

hey @plasmo we are both up during the daytime .. yay

@PeppiPatty you deliberately focus on making lovely wreaths with your words ... to encourage others ..good luck with your project Bella .. I am doing it too.

I saw an old therapist last week who had the same interests and therapy approaches as I have .. Both times I have been referred to her through an impersonal service ... the first time I was too overwhelmed and had to get my son to a better place ... she told me it has been 9 years since we met .. according to her file.

Hello forumites new and old ...

Re: Night Shift

dear @Decadian

I keep on going back to this message......most days I've been waking up from migranes..........I think it might be your referral to reinventing: I don't know.

But .....can we both write on how you can get support on your toxic sister. It might help me as well with my Mum's continued interference in my life

By the way: this is the tattoo I got on my neck when my son recovered brain cancer: It says Now thats All you Have.
