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 here to take care of any worries that you have. Leave them here with me and the cat and we’ll keep them quiet for you while you sleep.
Sleep well lovely people.

Signing in for the night watch and ready to take care of any worries. Drop them off at the end of the bed and I’ll take good care of them while you sleep.

Hi, I really would appreciate it if someone could pick up my worries and anxiety. I’m not doing great. Life just doesn’t feel real good right now.

notnearlythereyet · 17/08/2020 03:12

Could someone please hold my worry and anxiety for the night? Feeling snowed under and not managing so well.

HannaYeah · 17/08/2020 03:21

@notnearlythereyet

I can take it for you.

Frownette · 17/08/2020 03:23

I’ll take them to driveway cocktails.
It does help.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 17/08/2020 23:11

I’m also here to help with any worries that are causing problems. It’s a nice cool night here so they can snuggle under the quilt with me and the cat while you sleep.

HannaYeah · 18/08/2020 13:06

Thank you all for being here night after night.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 19/08/2020 02:34

I'm here is anyone has a load that I could lift, to let you rest. Pass then on.

@BellablueBella I've got you. You are strong and powerful and you can do this. You will do it. For you and your DD deserve a better future.

Get some rest. It's OK. You can just let this go for now. I will hold this worry until you are out and safe.💐

Therunecaster · 19/08/2020 03:05

Hi all,
I've had a bathroom fitted and the finish is shocking. I've got 2k left to pay and I'm going to have to tell the contractor today that I'm not happy and want the corrections done or I'll withhold the money to get someone to sort out.
I'm feeling V anxious and can't sleep!

If anyone is about... I’m having a bit of a shit time, constant anxiety and I’m avoiding everything in my life which is causing a lot of problems. I’m still up on the sofa and I don’t know why (well, it’s because as soon as I sleep I’ll wake up and it will be another long day). Need to go to bed.

@BellablueBella I have faith in you - you know it’s the best thing for you and your DD. Won’t ask for more detail but hope you have a clear plan and maybe someone trusted to help you? You can do it Flowers

Brokensunrise · 19/08/2020 03:25

And @Therunecaster I will give you the confidence to say that is NOT acceptable!! I hope you get it sorted - do not accept anything less and don’t let them minimise!

2018SoFarSoGreat · 19/08/2020 04:15

@Therunecaster that's a darned shame! For now, let me hold the worries and you get some rest. That's your job for now. Just let it go.

@Brokensunrise you poor thinf. Anxiety is a beast. But never mind. Pass it over here and I shall tuck it up with the worries and fears i am holding. It shall be quiet until you get your rest. Just shut your eyes. Let it all go. I've got you.

That's it. Sleep now.

HannaYeah · 19/08/2020 04:16

@Brokensunrise

I’m here and can take your worries. I’m doing much better after a couple of rough nights and it sure helps to be able to pass your problems to someone else for a bit.

@Frownette Hope you are getting settled in nicely at your new place. Hard to believe it’s been a month now!

AyeCorona1 · 19/08/2020 05:02

Have only read the first and last page and I'm in tears! My best middle-of-the-night-worry-offloading friend just died unexpectedly and I'm awake feeling so sad and miserable and they're the person I'd normally be messaging about it and they had the audacity to die so I can't!

If anyone can keep my worries so I can try a couple more hours before I have to start the day I'll take a day shift?
