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.

Re: Night Shift

You all know each other so well, I feel like an intruder. 😯😂
Goodnight everyone.
Sleep well. 💛

Re: Night Shift

It's okay @Former-Member .... everyone is the new person when they first start .... I have only been here since mid-March. It hasn't taken too long to met and get to know the regulars a bit.

Then again, there were some who were what I would have considered regulars here around March and April who have either taken a break, or wandered off, or felt less inclination to post regularly ....

You have settled in quite quickly and cheerfully - I say that knowing that everyone here has a back-story that involves struggle ....

Its good to have you around 😊

Re: Night Shift

@Former-Member, i often feel like an intruder too, what helped me is t just pick two or three people to really get to know &you'll get better & others will often join in. I'been here since march - still learning.

Re: Night Shift

Hi all, I was sleeping while others were posting.

@Former-Member, hope you got some sleep eventually.

@plasmo, was thinking of you again when I came on and there you were. Hoot.

@Appleblossom, hi, good to see you, haven't caught up for a little while. How are you going?

@Former-Member, you are very welcome here. As @Faith-and-Hope suggested earlier, just keep jumping in as you wish. Most of us feel paranoid about what we post or the responses we receive or don't receive at some time or another. I still get that feeling fairly often after over a year of being here. Hope you stick around and find it enjoyable being here in the long run. We all respond or not respond as our health and wellbeing allows.

Wonder if anyone is around and awake now. If so, feel like a little chat? If not, hope you all have bright moments in your day.
