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 again everyone. Just woke up from another sleep (about number 5 so far today). I am very tired lately. Again, haven't caught up with all the messages but wishing everyone well, as always.

@eth, glad you came to an agreement with your psychiatrist. At the same time, it seems like it might be disappointing to have discontinued after waiting quite some time before just this couple of sessions. But I know you were feeling ambivalent about the process, so it may be for the best. On a related note is the ambivalence I was feeling about the process with my psychologist. After another change of mind, I ended things there. It feels good to have finally made a clear decision and relieved I don't have to go through that process any more.

See you next time @Former-Member.

@Mazarita I've been sleeping more during the day lately too, as well as at night. Sometimes on and off from 10.30 pm til the middle of the day and again late afternoon.

Sounds like you feel good about your decision not to continue with the psychologist. I have mixed feelings about the psychiatrist. In a way it seems as if he's not saying he's done all he can if I won't take the antideps. At least I can discuss this with the psychologist. Last time I finished with both at the same time.

@eth, just took a little break for something to eat. I'm really glad you have the psychologist in an ongoing way now.

@eth @Former-Member @Former-Member

Lost my post. Somehow there was a html reference in there and then things went pear shaped.

Too tired and sad to type it again. Big hugs x

Feeling for you @Former-Member. So frustrating when that happens.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member, sorry you lost the message. Have you tried going into your profile page to see if it's in your 'saved drafts'. Maybe not now if you are feeling tired. But you might find it there tomorrow. Not sure if this is the same on mobile as I'm using a desktop PC. Main thing is, hope you have a good rest tonight and feel much better in the morning. Hugs.

@eth, back again after speaking my mum if you still feel like chatting.
