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.

Are you ok and safe @Angels333. I'm so sorry to hear. I've been battling my demons so much tonight too and trying to hold on. Please let me know you are safe. Sending lots of hugs and kind thoughts. 💜💜💜💐💐💐

Hi @Angels333

I was about to log off but just saw your post. Please don't be too tough on yourself. I have shared this image a million times, so forgive me if you've seen it

I love it, because it's so true.

All that is helpful to think about now is what you're going to do next - which is more helpful that being hard on yourself for something that's in the past.

Are you looking after yourself now? Do you need any medical assistance?

Hi @Former-Member

I'm sorry to read you're not having the best night either.

Do you have some helpful distractions or strategies to keep those demons at bay?

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope I think I'll try and sleep my meds are kicking in. I feel really nauseous and disappointed with myself
