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

Sorry that youve neen struggling with bad memories on your birthday. @Former-Member Do you want to talk about it? If not, thats fine, I understand if youd rather not. I hope that you were able to distract yourself in a good way somehow.

I have struggled with Christmas for many years, due to family. The Christmas that we just had was the best one weve had in years. I decided to find the energy to make it enjoyable. My family celebrate on the eve. I dont cope going there, so I said to hubby and my daughter, lets go ten pin bowling. So we picked up a friend of my daughters and had a fun time.

Christmas day, at the last minute we were invited to my daughters friends home to have Christmas lunch with them. It was a lovely day. Im going to do something different again this Christmas. I used to dread it. Too much dysfunction to deal with and my father passed away Christmas time several years ago.

I hope youre ok.

How are you?

I did a bit better today and I am taking it later in the day, I took it about 1 hour ago in some milk. Its only a very small dose. I will say, it will be another 8 weeks away before I know if it will work.

Re: Night Shift

I really hope the meds work for you @Former-Member

I've been home today. Washing etcetera. Went for a long walk with my daughter after school. I'm trying to rest and relax as much as possible lately. I really want to get well enough to go away with my daughter occasionally.
Do you have children, if you don't mind me asking? 🌷 I hope I'm not being nosey. 😀
