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.

Hi @Mazarita

I'll be praying for your tests. Trauma is definitely a true indication of IBD. My Husband has had some very nasty bleeds requiring blood transfusions.

Re: Night Shift

I have been on thin ice this week and a few cracks formed re self harm . I contacted lifeline which was okay.

But, nerdy as it sounds I downloaded Pokémon and walked 5kms with my 16yo son. We had ao much fun.

Re: Night Shift

Sorry to hear things are still rough @Angels333 but fabulous about the Pokemon walk. I only just asked my son about it yesterday. Sounds interesting. Keep looking after yourself, sending hugs 💜😊

Re: Night Shift

dont worry about it @Former-Member. The phrase you used will be stuck in my head forever. It was actually pretty smart and kind of helped break some of the cycle last night. At one point I had it being chanted in my head. Please don't feel bad about the moderation. It's ok. Sending hugs 💜😊💐

Re: Night Shift

Hi all, is anyone still awake?

Has anyone used any of those phone services? Are they any good? Think I need someone to talk to, but don't want to take up anyone's time.

Re: Night Shift

Hey @Former-Member I was glad to be with you last night ... friendship runs both ways ... it's a gift to receive support, and it's a gift to give it too. We are all both givers and receivers here ....

Look at that .... your son going out of ha way to be nurturing towards you .... good stuff ❣

Hey @Former-Member, some of my stuff got taken down, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good in the moment .... just means it might not be good for someone else in a different moment, that's all .... please like being around here, cos we like you .... ❣

Loved your "let's have some testosterone happening for a change" ....

Hi @Angels333 - I love it when your colours come up .... my S1 and DIL got right into the Pokemon hunt thingy the minute it came out .... yep .... nerdy baby dragons all ..... probably haven't mentioned that part before now 😏 .... sort of my fault there .... they've got a nerdy-arty-alternative-bohemian-style mum .... what else were they going to be ?❣

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member,

I am sorry to hear that your not going well, but its great that you are wanting to reach out for support. Yes those services are definetly good and always want to hear from you, you are NOT taking up their time by any means, you are important please dont undervalue yourself! lifeline and suicidecallback are the best at this time of night. Do you have their numbers? I dont know if it was posted earlier but lifeline also have a web chat...

Re: Night Shift

Hi everyone. I only joined a few days ago.
Just saw this "night shift" place.
What a great idea. 😀
Some nights I have terrible sleeps.
Might join in for a chat sometimes, if that's ok. 😊
Have taken half a med tonight though.
Have to get some decent sleep.
Nighty night to all. 😴❤
