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.

I’m signing in the night watch. I’ll take any worries and tuck them up with me and the cat for the night. We’re good at snuggling them into submission.

I am on duty for the evening. I will gladly take the worries, anxiety and sorrow that may have somehow escaped my fellow holders.

I will hold them gently and cuddle them in, should they try to rise up. You all just rest. That's the way. Shhhh.

Frownette · 12/03/2020 02:13

I'm fretting a bit about everything going on. The virus, David Cameron's neighbours house getting blown up (no-one was hurt), brexit, Harry's mental health...I should back away from the papers, they're full of doom

StantonDrew · 12/03/2020 02:39

This is such a lovely thread Flowers. I've been giving all of my energy to my beautiful daughter who is on suicide watch. I'm so tired. Please send positive thoughts her way. Thank you Daffodil

Frownette · 12/03/2020 02:41

Oh I'm sorry @StantonDrew sending her lots of light and warmth

2018SoFarSoGreat · 12/03/2020 03:27

@Frownette leave your worries with me. You go rest now.

HannaYeah · 12/03/2020 03:28

@StantonDrew I’m also sending strength, energy and positive thoughts her way.

Big thank you to those above who took on mine tonight. I’ll sleep well.

Frownette · 12/03/2020 13:55

Thank you @2018SoFarSoGreat

@StantonDrew how is your daughter?

DramaAlpaca · 12/03/2020 15:34

@beachcitygirl how did you get on this morning? Hope all went well for you.

@StantonDrew sending positive thoughts and strength to you and your daughter. And a big virtual to you because you need it.

MrsMozartMkII · 12/03/2020 18:53

Here for whoever needs the support tonight.

Life has been testing and it's not all worked out, but the vital bit (a baby born with issues) seems to be doing well, and on the nights I've been a-wittering I've thought of this thread and known that if I'd had the oomph in me to ask then someone would've responded, and that helped me get some decent sleep, which meant I could support those in need.

So, I'm back with arms open wide and ready to support any one who needs it.

Frownette · 12/03/2020 19:05

I need to read the thread from the start, I stumbled across it last night when my head was mashed up from too much news. That'll learn me!

Good news about baby, MrsMozart :)

I'm hoping for better sleep tonight. No news late at night.

MrsMozartMkII · 12/03/2020 20:02

Thank you Frownette. Sleep well.

iamabox · 12/03/2020 20:07

@frownette I've got your worries for the night. Me and the dcat will mind them, and keep them calm for you.

Hope you have a calm evening and get some rest.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 12/03/2020 20:22

Today is Havelock’s birthday, he says please send him any worries as he enjoys hunting them down and subduing them

May I ask for some help? I'm trying to put my firm on essential staff only and it is a nightmare. People are all getting on my last nerve

Not critical. Just very trying and I've been doing this 16 hours a day this week and I am tired.

HannaYeah · 12/03/2020 20:40

@2018SoFarSoGreat I’ve got you.

isolatedmum · 12/03/2020 20:44

Not so much tonight but the morning when I wake up is worse.
Partner is in some kind of crisis but it's come to a head and I think our family life together has to end. Just don't know how.
Thanksto all out there with worries
