Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

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

Morning everyone.

It's 5 degrees where I am but weatherzone says it feels like 0.2!!!!!

We are in for a massive day of rain, hail, wind, snow.

Hope you all stay warm today if you live down south.

Would be nice if it was declared a 'stay in bed day' today!!!!

OMG the wind is picking up here, hopefully no big trees fall down.

Re: Night Shift

Hi morning people.

Thanksfor all the support yesterday

My psychiatrist returned my text after midnight. But I was knocked out with meds (I think he would have known that)

I spoke to lifeline and the counselor kept suggesting I get someone to take me to hospital, but I felt okay after the medicine kicked in.

I'm wiped out today, it is cold and windy but I feel a sense of relief that yesterday is over.

My mother in law used to make the most beautiful paper quilling card with bouquets on them. I knew straight away what the heart was. Thanks ♡♡♡

What a wonderful connection that just made .... 😊

I love it when there is some special significance that pops up unexpectedly in the things we do and share. There have been so many overlaps on these threads, it's quite incredible really ....

There is so much stunning quilling work out there. Here is another one that really appealed to me ....

Hello @Former-Member. Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly......am pleased to hear you are getting out in the garden. At least I hope you are. Spring is not far off. Am counting the days, as I am counting the days till I see my dear psychiatrist (12). Really, really hope you are OK....sorry am a bit exhausted mentally. Things will be fine......as always, take care....

Re: Night Shift

Hi @comet, Sorry I'm not being very communicative at the moment. I'm just tired and had a heavy day mentally and emotionally too. Feel like I've let my friend down as I couldn't make it. Trudging on. Take care, have a good night, speak soon💜😊
