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

Hi @comet

Love reading your messages.....on the meds, is this bi polar?

Yes, I like very much the teabags. My Mum bought my husband a coffee thing to put on the stove and a frother and a milk holder for the frother. then two glass mugs.....Very cute. Now we both drink a nice coffee in the morning, two for me and Im buzzing all day..........

Then tea for the rest of the day.......

I had my support worker over this afternoon, she is so wonderful. My husband is lying on the loungeroom telling her that he had a MI something to xray his lungs.....at the hospital this morning. He and me have settled down a LOT. The past month has been awful but worked out it was because I was so ill myself for about a month.

I both live with MI and am a carer. My oldest son also suffers times of mental ill health but he has just decided to try and take meds. thank goodness.

Speak soon, PP

Re: Night Shift

I'm a bit partial to van Morrison too @PeppiPatty. My music taste is a bit individual too. I love lots of world music but those were the songs are just really classed as alternative. I hope you are well, lovely to see you around lots too😊💜
