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

Good morning @Shaz51 and @Faith-and-Hope

I dont usually get sinus headaches but I agree I am still congested from having the flu a few weeks ago.

I am leaning towards meds as the cause. I wake up with this dreadful pain yesterday it eased off after an afternoon nap.

Hi @Shaz51

My Father was abusive also. When I confront my parents they have a tendency to cut me out of their will. Crazy stuff

Re: Night Shift

Good on you @Shaz51 ❣. I am so glad you have good memories there - I take it you are living there now - and you have put your mark on it, giving it a new life and a new history this way. It means you have also benefited from having it land in your hands as something you now own, as an inheritance. So in his passing on, you have received some care that he owed you anyway ....

❤️

Re: Night Shift

@Shaz51, how unfair that is with centrelink. More hugs for the tough times you have been through and still have to face now. I hope better relief comes in time for you and hubby both, Shaz.

Re: Night Shift

I agree, so well written @Faith-and-Hope

I am so sorry to read about your Father's criticism of you for things so beyond your control. I'm thinking that the weight loss you went through as a younger self could have been an attemp to have some control. My hear goes out to you beautiful lady ♡♡

Oh @Angels333

My father didn`t leave me the house -- he had no will

he always said he would burn the house down before he died , when i finally got the house after my uncle (dad`s brother ) stepped in and said I had to have the house

when I came back into the house there was not one thing of my stuff there, ther was some things of my mum`s stuff .

@Shaz51

My D2 is sunstantially vision and hearing impaired .... they are your two main learning receptors so I imagine that held you back academically as well, along with all the operations, and he obviously didn't cope with any of it.

How sad ! Sad for him to be so lacking in empathy - this is a serious disability for many people that they are blind to ....

Shame Centrelink can't class them as disabled and supply treatment services for them .... might be half the country if they did ....
