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.

Hi @Former-Member

I'm a bit like you with regards to shoppingn centres and loud music in stores.

It is really cold here tonight 8 degrees. Hubby has just gone to get pizza for dinner. I've been out most of the day. Morning session with my therapist, then lunch with 2 friends I used to work with that lasted 3 hrs.

Now I am freezing cold with stomach pains and headache. Hope i am not coming down with something.

I have had to put a blanket over me to keep me warm but still cold. Looks like an early night tonight. Need to destress myself and sleep.

That's great that you are goiong to start writing a book. I started writing my book a few years ago but at the moment I have stopped.

take care xxxooo

Hi @Former-Member @BlueBay

I was out and about this morning. Caught up with a friend for coffee. Now just cuddled up in bed, cold outside, just trying to rest up and make the most of the last of the school holidays before the next term starts up again.

S2's (son no.2) 21st coming up .... then it's the start of all the big fat Greek wedding stuff (daughter no. 1) .... can't think too much about it cos even the thought of it all is a bit overwhelming. Will have to take it all moment by moment and try to just enjoy what is happening at the time. It will all be over and gone otherwise, without feeling like I was really there ....

This moment belongs to resting and recharging my batteries .... but I am feeling restless anyway.

Hi @Shaz51

All of those sound really interesting .... the ones I struggle with most are where you get to the end and find one or two pieces missing !!!

Hi @Shaz51 Its good to see you too! Let sleeping dogs lie ... no use waking up babies either ...

Hi @Former-Member There is a tool bar above the reply dialogue box .. @Faith-and-Hope and others have access to more pretty pics .. I keep the pic thing basic on the computer ....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope lovely to see that you do stop for occasional moments to rest recoup before you move on with your busy whirling life ... even though you say you had a good upbringing you are able to care for others less fotunate ... that is not always that common .. as in the empath may only be able to empathise with what they have experienced ... yet your posts usually show you have experienced tough things too ... yet both practical and uplifting replies. Thanks.
