Dear All The purpose of this thread is as a meeting point for those that can’t sleep and it is late (I.E. AFTER midnight.)
It can be a useful space for users to share their issues with insomnia as well as coping strategies. It can also be a general space for users to converse and support one another throughout a difficult night.
Please note – for those that are just bored or lonely we already have a place - the BB Café, which I recommend instead of here
Hi, I hope everyone is well. I'm really struggling right now and I'm in a very bad place. I had a medical test today and there's more bad news. I'm not sure how much more I can take.
I was hoping that maybe if I talked to someone it might help but I have no one so I'm reaching out here, no pressure though. I know that others are struggling as well so I don't want to be a burden to anyone.
I'm outside in the freezing cold as I just want to feel numb and safe. I think it's about 1degree. I will try to stay out here as long as I can. I hope you all have a great nights sleep.

You are always so kind and supportive. I don't deserve your concern. You shouldn't bother with me.
I just keep sitting here and staring at the road and thinking maybe I should make everyone happy and just do it. The last person who truly cared about me is gone. Maybe I'm just speeding up what will happen to me anyway if I stay where I live? I just don't want to be hurt anymore.

Hi Emo. I would be happier if you told me about your days. Does Emo have an open thread somewhere I wonder... I go looking for you/ it my friend. Till then I am here and reading/listening to u.
Do you consider yourself an "emo"? I am very fond of the emo band "the Cure" whom I saw at concert a very long time ago. They Rock!
hi emo, how are u? i'm sorry to read u've been having a hard time. thats rough with lockdown but good on u for trying to sort everything out. Good to try and get on top of things, for sure.
Hi quirky, you had been asking about magnesium.,
I've been taking a nightly supplement which has valerian and magnesium, and licorice root
It doesnt do much, but sometimes its a little soothing. It's my favourite natural remedy i've sampled thus far
Thank you for your kind words. I am really trying to help myself to keep going. I know that you have been going through a hard time yourself but I hope things are getting better for you. Sending you my best wishes for a nice relaxing weekend.
