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.

By the way @Former-Member, (got it right this time), love you profile picture, the birds, colour & scene - peaceful. Why did you pick that one?

Re: Night Shift

I just caught up with a friend & we ended up catching a late movie.

It was nice to get out for a few hours

Although I am feeling a bit down atm

I also went to the gym today and feel proud that I am getting fitter, it as taken while but I am slowly getting there.

Keep pressing on, moving forward. 'Fake it 'till you make it' they say. Or at least 'till spring comes. Do you suffer depression (sorry if u repeat yourself, forget who's who here 1/2 the time). I have ptsd, few flashbacks today playing with my head.

Thxs for your support last night.

I ended up sleeping well last night- I just wish it would happen more often.

But I am bit of a night owl.

It was a nice sunny day here but didn't end up at the beach. I mite do that during the week.

I like my profile picture too.

I think it represents a bit of who I am

I love the colours, sunset and dolphins

I am surfie chick- and I just love the ocean

@Former-Member

Its a good motto to fake it until you make it.

I find the cooler weather affects my mood a bit.

I suffer from major depression, PTSD and dysthymia.

Sorry to hear you had a few flashbacks tonight.

Re: Night Shift

Ah, i remember now, you have a cuddly staffy dog (yes?)! & pics of the beach in your room. I've been thinking of you with the sunshine today. Don't live anywhere near the beach but have a vivid memory of listening to the waves all night when i stayed in a children's home in sydney when i was 5. Saving up to spend a weekend there soon, go away with my daughter.
