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

@Maritza is someone really good to ask about unmoderated posts online in forums : I've been to 'groups in classes in therapy that are badly facilitated ........ It's really awful and once took years to understand that I was an okay person when I said something weird in a class ...... I'm now angry that it happened ...... Ibut also don't care ........

Re: Night Shift

Hey @PeppiPatty, I'm so happy you like the video! Thank you for the inspiring poem.

Yes, it should work on Facebook by copying the link and just pasting it into a new post there. Here is the link again:

Re: Night Shift

@Maritza likes one of my poems
You must see her utube

@Maritza hi
I wrote the poem thinking of ..... Oh my absolute fav book of all time 'Wizard of Earthsea,' by Ursula Le Guin..... It was the most extroidinarily stressful periods of my life and I did three pieces of artwork .....
I cannot believe I survived that time.
When you designed the utube ....... You have given it a more ...... Hopeful feeling
Thank you so much
I'm over your place ..all us girls and boys I've made two cakes
Okay ..... We will clean up after too

Re: Night Shift

@PeppiPatty

Great that you will be coming over here with some other friends, cake and even cleaning up! You are very welcome!! Then I can show you the video on a bigger screen and better quality too.

Yes, I had the idea to slow everything down for the video, even though I could sense the poem was about a turbulent time for you. That was for a contrast I guess, and also looking back now in a maybe slower way, now that it's over. You wrote the words, 'now I am free', at the end of the poem, which are very hopeful.

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone I'm back. What a mindblowing trip I had. Such a completely different world over there. The anxiety levels were very hard to manage at times and my brother did run out of patience twice but overall it went well. Looking forward to reconnecting here.
