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.

Good Morning @plasmo,

Perhaps it's just you and I awake at this ungodly hour 🙂 What are you planning to do on this first day of the financial year?

Hi @plasmo, if you are still around,

Sorry for missing you earlier in the thread, there was a lot going on and you were going nap nap. Did you have any good dreams?

Hi @Former-Member 🙂

Morning @comet,

i saw you around this morning, I hope a good sleep has helped. I understand if you need to take a break but was nice just to say hello too. Please know you don't have to feel good to be here.

I am feeling much better and possibly more even although I won't know until the day progresses how many seasons I'll have today. I am going to attempt to have a day away from here to sort some things out. I have let myself go to rack and ruin completely over the last few weeks. Anyway I really hope that things are better for you today but understand if they aren't. Sending hugs as always, take quadruple if needed but I'm really hoping you only need one. 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi @PeppiPatty good to hear from you. I hope getting on a carer payment works out for you. I was on one for years raising a child with very low vision and it certainly made life easier. Hoping your ear virus is clearing up. I'm doing ok, muddling along. Not on here as often as before so excuse me if there's a delay getting back to you.

Hi back to you too @Jacques hope things are settling down for you by now, that your Mum is feeling better and that your infection cleared up well and you are getting some rest time after all the running around and the panic attacks you mentioned.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @eth, thanks for your warm wishes, fondly received. Feeling not too bad at the moment but that's after about 12 hours sleep in 3 blocks overnight and all day today until 4pm. So only just got up really. Like you, I'm basically muddling along but not getting out of the flat or looking after myself properly. Fortunately I'm seeing psychiatrist tomorrow so can talk to him about what's going on with me at present. May need to adjust meds, we'll see. Always great to see you. Take care of yourself, friend.
