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.

@Former-Member. Just read your post....don't let it bring you down.....many big hugs from me ooooooooo. Thinking of you....Thankyou @Mazarita for the PHaMs information. So appreciate it! Had first visit today.....all went really well & the ladies were very supportive. What a great idea the whole set-up is...my support lady said she would accompany me to GROW if I wanted & other things I can't remember. Really great lady....so I am full of optimism. Said we could go & have a coffee etc. An hour a week to have company & make positive plans, & its indefinite..... Thanks heaps Mazarita....hoping your doing a bit better than you were...sending kind thoughts & wishes...

Hi @comet. You just made my day. I'm so glad phams will work out for you😊💜. I just realised I meet with my phams worker tomorrow to plan what we will do so that is something to look forward to. My old phams worker took me out for coffee sometimes too. It was really nice to have that. It's really great to see some positives for you. Take care😊💜

Hi all,

how can it not be friday yet? its been such a long week.

Hugs @Former-Member hope you are ok.

i've only read the last page and finding it so hard to concentrate!!! gah!

Hi to @hope77 i don't think i've 'met' you before but welcome. I hope that your appointment goes ok tomorrow, whether its answering questions or just letting some of the sadness out, i hope it helps.

I have no idea how to just keep going at the moment! i'm so over waiting for family court stuff and watching my kids suffer through it all. its so unfair 😞

Re: Night Shift

I'm okay @Former-Member ....

My big kids are back from over east tomorrow , so today was my last pyjama day fro a while ...

My Dad is at home from hospital, exhausted and needing to try to catch up on sleep, but at least his knee is doing well ...

Husband not back yet .... will be stretching out his time away (assuming you're up with his e.d. story) ....

My painting didn't make it into the exhibition I was hoping for, but I didn't set all my expectations on it, so I am disappointed but not bitterly so ....

Cold and rainy here.

S1 and DIL bringing over some take-away dinner, so off-duty with cooking tonight .... yay !
