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

Hi @Former-Member, yeah I'm doing better today. I had a long online convo with lifeline. They were pretty understanding and it was nice to be able to let it all out to someone. I guess the real problem is I don't want my doc to know I'm not feeling the best. I guess, it just feels like a massive personal failure.
Are you doing okay? Not still freaked out?

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member im glad that worked out for you. I have done the same thing as you this week not wanting my therapist to know I was at rock bottom because I felt like I was failing her. I also have a huge fear of abandonment thing and so worry if I'm not doing well enough she'll leave. I managed to tell her last night though and I'm glad I did, I feel better for it. I always feel like a failure when I go backwards too. It sucks. I'm not so freaked out now thanks😊💜

Well, everyone, I feel guilty because I felt better today and what's going through my mind is that people will think I was putting on my Psychosis and depression and anxiety. I would not wish it on anyone. Hugs to all

I don't even know what trigger it or what happen. All I felt afterwards was that a truck had hit me

Re: Night Shift

Never feel guilty for feeling better! I get that sometimes it seems that people don't understand what it's like to go through expereinces like that, and they don't understand that some days can be better than others. I say celebrate the small victories, it's great that you were feeling better today and I hope you do tomorrow too.

I just don't feel comfortable at this hospital but I am trying to stay open minded even though I am scared. I'll just try to take the first day in my stride and try to get into a routine pretty quickly.

I'm trying to keep a little busy this weekend and also to relax a bit. I should be happy to have the opportunity to go into hospital. I'm a bit overwhelmed so I have paged my Dr.
