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

Sounds like @Shaz51 & @Former-Member both live where it's lovely and warm. Country Victoria is the opposite.
Kira sounds beautiful. Yes you sometimes have to wonder who is training who. lol.
Nash-my lab - is scared of any dog her size or bigger. she must think she is small.
Anyone have any plans for tonight or tomorrow? I'll be walking the dogs down to the swollen creek. They will love it. And spending the day getting my teenager to do his homework. Not overly exciting, but it's life.

@utopia

I live on the East Coast (Qld) but south from Brisbane on the coast.

I don't have much planned for tomorrow other then to go for a walk and do some jobs around the house.

Re: Night Shift

Nobody else wanted to cook, so I asked D2 to make us her toasted cheese sandwiches .... it's the only thing she knows how to cook .... and they are only half-toasted ..... 😆 Duzzntmatta !! I'm not fussy and neither is my Dad .... hubby eats according to his own food regimen, and D3 and S2 can just like it and say thank you ❣

Its that, or cereal tonight .... ❣

Cook and bottle-washer is on strike.

😊

Re: Night Shift

Hi. Anyone around tonight? Been reluctant to say anything because I feel so incredibly down. I hate to admit it, I hate to burden anyone.
Today it all hit me. Reading everyones tragic stories on Sane really affected me today. I've been wanting to try and say things to try and help everyone feel better and now I feel so sad that you are all going through such terrible times. I feel selfish saying this, but I guess I need to. I'm wondering if anyone else feels this way from hearing everyones tragic times?
I hate it that life is so stressful for us.
Sorry to be on a downer. I prefer to encourage.
I'll probably want to delete this as soon as I send it.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member. Thanks for asking. I'll be ok. I just feel like crying but cant. I'm probably writing in the wrong post. This is meant to be enjoying time with others.
I hate being so up and down. Anxiety is exhausting. How are you?
