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.

Just thinking of ideas.......

My husband tried to get full custody too.......

I have a snippet of your experience my darling friend......

You may have already heard this but his bark is huge. How can you remember to

wear clothes to sheild you from this big bark?

Wear shoes? The shoes need to be able to weather that storm?

Can you leave a little note in your children's clothes that they are big abd brave.....

A big bark can hurt you.

Please get to School councellors/ the Psychologist to write something up on them not being allowed to call you??

I will have a think........many things running in mymind but nothing coming together.

I think I have a feeling that your son's councellor can write something about not being able to call you?

Hi Guys,

Just checking in and saying hello to everyone.

How was your day and hope you having a relaxing nite and keeping warm.

I'm going to try to get some sleep soon because I have to be up earlier in the morning and I am so not a morning person.

Hi @plasmo. I was just thinking of you before I came on here and there you were! I'm betting it's your sleep hours at the moment.

I'm an early bird today. It's due to extremely broken sleep, even more broken than usual lately, but, as @Decadian might say, it's working for me for now anyway. Have emerged like a butterfly again after recent slump times. The recovery times seem to be getting shorter, gratitude for that, and the reduction of anti-psychotic is doing it's trick in giving me a bit more energy, less 'bleurgh'.

Anyway, just dropped in to say hi after a little break away from the forums to work on creative things and get a bit of perspective. It's done me good. Happy to see everyone still chatting away here, supporting each other so kindly, all the good stuff. Hugs to those doing it tough.

Good morning @Mazarita great to hear that things are starting to look a bit brighter. Same here in the last few days, I just enjoy being able to ride the wave even for a brief time, I know I will crash again, but right now I am ok.

Have a great day and thinking of all that down the dumps at the moment xox
