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.

Goodnight @Shaz51, I won't be far behind. I went out with a friend today, and it took 1.5 hours driving to get back 35km. Brisbane's traffic is almost undrivable. I don't do driving well, due to arthritis in my neck.

Hi, I've been quiet lately.

Just checking in. I might txt lifeline, or fall asleep as I'm so tired.

How are you all? I havent been around because a good friend passed away. I'm dealing with my husband (who has been settling down a lot ) and ......it just feels like I have nothing in control. I'm not able to deal with giving good advice or being helpful or anything. If you can deal with that.....

It's like, my friends here I've been able to be......fairly stable ...I fall apart then get better. This time, how do I know if I will get through this. My friend is dead.

Re: Night Shift

The only way to go.. one day at a time.

Try to be in the now, knowing that time heals, and your friend isn't suffering now, and wouldn't want you to suffer either.

. All you have to do is live one day at a time. And realise other people care about you.

I hope you have family and friends ..to be there. But .. hey.. some people only have themselves, and what they do with that.

Such is Life.
