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

Thank you @Faith-and-Hope

I hope you get a decent sleep @BlueBay , i live in a regional place so there is very limited options for services. im lucky to 'see' my psychiatrist by telemed (but i hate it.. hate being sort of filmed feeling in front of a screen... but he's nice) and there are very few psychologists around, though i've been lucky to see a lovely lady who has been extremely kind, generous and helpful. i wouldnt want to change. but no there's no DBT here. i've seen lots of reference to it here on the forums. im doing an online cbt course at the moment (free thing) and thats reminding me of stuff that i've learnt in the past but forgotten/or not put into great use yet... sigh.. yes there's always a lot to do.

Hi @eth i feel the same.. i cant keep up with everything i just try to read a few posts before.. im thinking of you too, hugs. hope you are ok

I believe that beautiful visual art has healing properties ....

if it can help anyone in any small way ...

even as a momentary distraction ...

then it is worth sharing.

Art hugs .... ❤️

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, you have done so well working through your recovery the way you do. And finding ways even though living away from resources. I didn't know there was a free CBT course on line, can i ask who's offering that service? I'd like to do it. Thanks

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

not sure i've done well but...

the course im doing is from moodgym i think if you google it will come up. it was created by ANU and its simple, and easy kind of... until you have to put in some of your own stuff to practice on.

but i think its helping. thought i've been a bit slack with it lately... (but its also pressure free because there's no time line/limit)
