Starting a new thread because the old one is full, I never thought when I started it that it would a) be moved to Classics and b) help so many people.

Bit up and down, like the majority of people. You sound crazy busy, @HannaYeah. Hope kitty ok.

It would be nice to forget everything and have a good night's sleep.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 28/04/2020 22:18

I've got you tonight @Frownette. Go get one good sleep ❤️

Frownette · 28/04/2020 23:28

That made me smile, thank you @2018SoFarSoGreat :)

Could someone mind my worry ,? My blood pressure won’t settle and my heart is thumping and I have health anxiety - I’ve been unwell for 2 or so months and starting to feel paranoid about health .
If someone can just look after that for me tonight I’d be so thankful

Frownette · 29/04/2020 00:25

@lisalisa we'll take it for you tonight.

Breath steadily and rest safely, without the worry.

HannaYeah · 29/04/2020 02:43

There’s my people!

I think the worst part of what’s happening is the aloneness.

Hope everyone that comes across this thread knows that it’s ok to drop any worry here. Even if you think your worries might be the same as ours.

PS: Kitty is doing ok tonight. We accidentally cut him while trying to clean up a mat. Poor guy. We are a little lighter of money, but he’s on the mend and home with us.

lisalisa · 29/04/2020 17:55

Frownette - I actually want to cry . I slept the best last night I have done in weeks . Well I never x

Rainb0w · 29/04/2020 19:08

It's only 7pm here but could somebody take my worries off me for a few hours please?

2018SoFarSoGreat · 29/04/2020 19:10

I can do that, @Rainb0w. You get some downtime and they can sit quietly by my side as I work. If they get out of hand I shall have my trusty sidekick, Daisy, give them what for.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 29/04/2020 23:08

Signing in for the night watch. I have lovely fresh bedding that smells of peonies, so any worries can snuggle down nice and cozy and me and the cat will take care of them while you sleep.

Bring your worries over here, the Night Shift are here to mind them.
HannaYeah · 30/04/2020 01:22

GKP I’ll send you one of mine. Your kitty looks like a great snuggler

DramaAlpaca · 03/05/2020 03:58

I'm giving this thread a little bump, so any worriers out there who might want their thoughts taken care of overnight can find us Smile

Heard my 7 year old coughing around 4.30, since coughed a few more times. But no high temperature. So I can't sleep now.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 03/05/2020 07:27

@animaginativeusername that's scary and worrying. Probably nothing though. Why don't you just turn over that worry to me for now and get some rest. He'll most likely be bright as a button in the morning. Cozy back to sleep. It's OK.

animaginativeusername · 03/05/2020 11:09

@2018SoFarSoGreat Thankyou, I just needed it said somewhere. You're right he was fine.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 03/05/2020 23:06

I hope everyone is doing ok, for those of us who need worries looking after there’s always a space at the end of the bed here.
Just drop them off with me and collect them when you’re ready to.

HannaYeah · 06/05/2020 03:26

Thanks GKP.

Can someone worry about my roofer and his family and my roof?

He and family are so sweet and they need worrying about.

DramaAlpaca · 06/05/2020 03:41

@HannaYeah that's a bit random Grin but yes, I'll happily take on your worries about your roofer, his family and your roof as long as you explain tomorrow

In return, could you look after my worries about DH's job? Thank you Smile

jesswhitesocks · 06/05/2020 04:20

Would someone kindly take my worries please I can't sleep and I'm weeping in bed next to my partner.

Had a really bad day at work got a pasting on a conference call this afternoon by my 'colleagues' about something that wasn't made clear to me- felt really teary and upset afterwards.

Starting to struggle with the lockdown now and my partner and I are grating on each other, I've noticed more snipy comments from him which he doesn't normally do and it's hurtful.

Feel a little down and vulnerable I suppose- feeling a failure and a letdown. Please take my worries for me so I can sleep xxx

2018SoFarSoGreat · 06/05/2020 04:22

@jesswhitesocks I've got you. It's OK now. You just let me carry this and you get some rest.

It will be a brighter day tomorrow.

Fenlandmountainrescue · 06/05/2020 04:30

Half past four and awake again! I feel like toast but am too lazy to get ip and make some.

jesswhitesocks · 06/05/2020 04:35

@2018SoFarSoGreat thank you so much you wonderful soul. I'm downstairs now waiting for the sun to come up- I'm not sure why the work thing got to me so much, I suppose it just hurt that my colleagues would turn on me like that- it's really hurt and demotivated me. I'll try and go back to bed shortly I feel exhausted xxx

HannaYeah · 06/05/2020 05:08

@DramaAlpaca

Yes, I’ll take your worries and keep them a while.

And I’ll explain tomorrow! It’s quite an odd situation.

Frownette · 06/05/2020 05:08

@jesswhitesocks I think if you're caught on the hop you're not prepared to state your case clearly as you weren't expecting to have to defend yourself.

Hope you get a little rest and feel better soon.

Frownette · 06/05/2020 05:10

Hello HannaYeah :)
