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.

Hi @Former-Member, glad to hear that 'good' is part of your equation as well as the bad and the ugly. Just looked up Google and I think you are coming up to holidays at the end of next week. Hopefully that will be a time for you to replenish a little. Maybe a time to focus again on some dedicated self care of lj. Good to see you posting here. Sending kindest wishes and virtual hugs.

Cheers, @plasmo!

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, I'm sorry that you are struggling a bit with your issues. It's not hard to understand why. I see so much resilience in you that I guess that I and others sometimes forget that you are human too and have your struggles. You tend to be the rock on here, even rocks get crushed sometimes. I'm also not sure I'd I trod on your toes with a post I wrote the other day regarding your daughter, I'm sorry if I did. Anyway I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and always wanting to lend an ear when you are down too. Sending lots of hugs and bug tea💐💜😊

I agree F&H - Teej does have a big heart

So do so many others

Anyone up for a bug cuppa on Saturday morning?

I agree @Decadian, pretty much everyone on here has a big heart💜💙💚💛❤️. I saw your morning is a bit down, hoping that will change. The weather is awful again😁

Hey @Former-Member

I would like to start a Saturday Morning Bug Cuppa - but it's Election Day on Saturday - and if I start this I need to be here - but with the weather so bad I might have to dash out and it wouldn't be good to not be there myself - and I am going away in a few weeks and will be away on a Saturday

But it would be good to have a Bug Cuppa a whinge on a wintery Saturday

How does one do something like this

Re: Night Shift

@Decadian From what I understand you would just go to the 'enjoying time with others' part and then hit new discussion where you can title it and invite others by tagging or just as a general invite to all. I don't think it matters if you are not here for a week or more. I may struggle sat mornings as that is my football run but you never know and I'm sure I'll check in to see how everyone is. I hope this helps. You never know it could be an every morning Cuppa yet. I'm sure when @Mazarita started night shift she didn't expect a 24/7 shout out service for everyone😊.
