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

I see you are posting on Enjoying.... How can I see your posts there.? When I go to that thread I get only old posts. Very frustrating.

Re: Night Shift

if you click on a profile name then you get the activity feed for that person ... and then can see old posts

I used to start up new discussions a lot more when I first joined ...

but my inner "therapist" as opposed to my inner "loon" mostly responds to others posts

I have just been on Oz politic ... this is a tiny forum compared to that ... 4 boards and you can decide to start a thread by pressing "new discussion" that fits in any of the 4 "Lived EXPERIENCE" categories.

I recently started a thread becuase I had rough weekend ... called "Feeling gutted and agitated" AND i DID FEEL SUPPORTED. woops those caps

Re: Night Shift

No ... born in NZ. I am an Aussie tho... been here in Oz since \I was 13. Lived in St Kilda for the firstpart. and that was a real culture shock. At least for a country girl from NZ. Was not good for me, but I was the only child who hadn't already left home, so I got dragged over here with my mother and her husband. No choice.

I love fire..

Re: Night Shift

OzPol... yeah it is huge. You can talk about anything on it. It has amused and infuriated me for about 4 yrs now. I have made friends there..online. I have my supporters and my detractors. It is a laugh at times, and deeply disturbing at others.

Re: Night Shift

I don't use my Pinkeye nomenclature there. My persona there is based on a woman I realised WAS my hero ..as a child. A TV persona. 🙂 Sorry to be a tease.. just that I don't want to have a link between the 2 forums.
You must have gone on as a Guest eh?
