Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

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

thank you @Mazarita. 💐💜😊 I'm really glad you guys are. Your posts often help me work through things. Your post in writing as a form of therapy yesterday bought a few things to a head for me too which needed to happen. It's what I have just got out with my therapist. We won't deal with much of it until she is back but I'm glad I got to express it to her and get a response back I can live with. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Me too @Former-Member 😊

Thanks for asking after my Dad ..... he's doing well this time .... had a nasty close call with surgery on the other knee a few years ago, but this time has been fairly smooth sailing. He is tired, of course, and dosed up to the eyeballs on pain meds which is making him a bit drunk and pretty funny .... 😆

I'm back off to the hospital now after a pretty crazy ❎✅❎✅ day ..... usually end up on a ✅, but have to work hard for it sometimes. Truth be told, I'm going to the hospital to have a relax with him !! Best excuse in the world really, cos nobody would dream if challenging it !!

😊🌷💕💗

Re: Night Shift

Good to see you in good spirits @Faith-and-Hope. I hope you have some nice time with your dad. My dad has had the same operation too. It's a big one for a few weeks isn't it? Take care💐💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi Everyone,

Just popping in to see how everyone is going, i will be here for friday feast i hope tomorrow night, it has been a really busy week for me, mum was in hospital emergency on saturday night, and i have been having to drive around to doctors appointments and i have struggled with panic attacks.

It is good to see you all chatting, i read as many messages as i can from here, it warms my heart to see you all being so supportive and helping each other, that is why i love this place, new people but the same kind, caring personalities 🙂

A special mention to @Mazarita, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @eth, @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @PeppiPatty, @Decadian and my virtual mum @Appleblossom.

I am missing you all so much, i just wish i had more time in the day to speak more often, i am so glad to see you all putting one foot in front of the other and managing your lives, you all show me so much courage and strength. thank you all.

big hugs to everyone, take care, be safe.

Jacques
