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

oh thats chilly @utopia I mentioned before, it was 30C here, so someone said. I only like to walk in winter here, as summer is way too hot and humid.

Re: Night Shift

My undergrad majors were Anatomy and Pharmacology (which has lots of physiology in it). I would say go for it if she wants to be a paramedic! I wouldn't say they would be to hard for a bright 16 year old. And there are plenty of other allied and health careers out there that aren't so stressful.

But photography sounds a bit more 'fun', particulary if she is starting to study for her HSC/VCE etc and needs some time to be more creative and relaxed.

I would be so excited if I was her, I hope she has a good time. But if it is too much, she can always drop it and do it later. People do that at uni all the time, depending on how their semester is going.

I wish her the best. 😊

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member I guess she has mixed feelings. She'll be ok once she gets there. She's a bit unsure what career path to take. I always say, go for what you're passionate about.

Re: Night Shift

Hi all. Just wanted to let those interested know that I'm feeling half human again and am going out for coffee with a friend. First time for weeks to have a social thing that's not family. I hope you all have a good Sunday and that it's not too cold for those in cooler climates. Thinking of you going back tomorrow @Former-Member. I hope it goes ok. 😊💜

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member -

I am glad you have reached the stage of "half-human" and gone out for coffee with a friend - which sounds half decent. WTG

And @Mazarita

I hear you had some dental surgery - I hope that was okay - I know it is never fun - and I also hope it is healing - boy - that sort of stuff really takes it's time to stop hurting

@Faith-and-Hope

All the best with WH and D3 - I hope D3 gets herself to school on time - I know this is tough for her - tough for you - this is not something to which we can apply any "tough love" measures - she is already battling

@Former-Member@utopia - your posts are always sincere and uplifting - thankyou and

@Appleblossom - I hope you are more settled now and can get on without so much anxiety - it is tough with a bossy little son's girlfriend in the picture - I guess time will pass and she will learn

And everyone else - I hope your weekend was okay - and tomorrow is a new day/ week -

Decadian
