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

@Former-Member I'm having trouble keeping up myself. Especially not knowing any of you properly yet.

Glad my girl is out at youth tonight, I hate ignoring her, which is easily done when on here, or facebook. I've had enough of facebook. I find that people can be quite rude on there and not even acknowledge your messages or comments. On here people actually bother. And I dont even know you all. On facebook I know them and they cant be bothered. haha! cant figure that one out.

Dear @Former-Member

Ive been thinking about you - I may be an idea that you may want to either agree or ??

When it comes to MEntal Health and supporitve Psychiatrists....they DONT know how you live your life.....remembering my own experiences and my haubands esp.

If you just turn up and lay it on the table;

This is my support.

this is where I am struggling.

this is what I need.

I think that the Psy. (Psychiatrist) may really like this. He can fill in the gaps with your prompting.

I love lists.

Hi @Former-Member,

im a single mum (still can't get my head around that even though it's been nearly 3years) with four boys aged from 16 to 21. I currently live with my 16 year old but my 20 yr old and his girlfriend are about to move back in. I saw you had a 16yr old daughter too. I'm so sorry to read that you've had to make the hard decision to move away from family but think it is really wise to look after yourself first. I'm sure you'll see lots around of me on here as I'm a bit of a chatterbox😝. 💜😊

hi @Former-Member, I think taking in things to do is a great idea too. I'm glad you've got the beach nearby to help keep you active, that sounds really important to you. Counting down the hours with you💜😊

i also want to send a shout out to @Former-Member, thinking of you and hoping you are ok on your birthday weekend. Sending hugs💜😊

cheers @PeppiPatty for your support💜😊

Re: Night Shift

Busy life with 4 boys @Former-Member
I feel bad that my girl doesn't have relatives in her life. 😢
Another reason I need to get well, so I can travel with her, so she can meet relatives overseas etcetera. 😀
She has friends and keeps busy.
I try to make sure she gets out and about.
Wish I was able to cope better. But don't we all. ❤

@Teej

Good to hear from you

I'm finding it hard to keep up too tonight and I wish I could stay on top of it but I am finding it a bit hard with my anxiety~sorry guys.

I am glad the beach is nearby too and keeping active is something I really enjoy doing. Its not as enjoyable as before but doing the things I once loved is really important to me. You are spot on about this.Thank you for the support I am counting down the hours too.
