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

Good on you @Faith-and-Hope. It helps having a nap.

I had a 15 minute nap this afternoon. Just got back from a walk.

I'm still fragile, but I'll get on top eventually. Sometimes I just get too worn out, then anxiety gets worse. Been trying to hide away at home to recover. Only go out when I have to. I'm not great driving in the traffic lately, but hubby has been working long hours and I've had to do extra driving with my daughter. School, university and appointment at dentist etcetera.

I hope your week has been ok.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Appleblossom. How has your weekend been? I have been home alot this weekend. Trying to get on top of life again. Sometimes staying home too much isn't the greatest, unfortunately.

Back out again tomorrow though.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member

I know what you mean about driving - I used to be a real Nervous Nellie in traffic - and back in the Dark Ages there were fewer traffic lights - so I used to arrange my day about left-hand turns

But I got used to it in time - when travelling in all sorts of conditions was necessary - in fact - essential -

However now I haven't driven for years - because of the spasms in my spine - but still - I understand

I hope your week is bearable -

Decadian
