Bring your worries over here, the Night Shift are here to mind them.

[NaomiFromMilkShake]

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.

Could I please leave my nearly £20k debt with you super night watchers please, it's killing me like a cushion over my face

You can sort it out. You're strong enough to address it.

For tonight we take it away until you have rested and feel stronger.

So sleep well and awake refreshed ready to start a new day

my house was on fire saturday tea time. I cant sleep because im still pumped full of adrenaline. thankfully no one hurt and it was contained to one room but that one room is utterly wrecked and is going to need completely gutting and everything refitting and everything in it plus the person whose bedroom it is in has lost all their clothes etc and other personal possessions as from what we can see, nothings salvageable in there. the window is melted such was the heat and the double glazing inner glass blew out into the room so its all full of glass. this year can just do one

@OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack that's so awful! How frightening. So sorry to read this. Thank God you are all physically ok.

Try to get some rest. For now I can hold this worry. Your body needs to sleep. Your brain will catch up if you let it go. That's it. Just rest now.

Signing in for the night watch. Me and the little furry terror are here to guard any problems or worries that are plaguing you.
Drop them off at the end of the bed and I’ll take care of them while you sleep.

Can you take my worries about my beautiful son for the night, he seems anxious and self conscious, not his outgoing self at all.
My heart is sore when I see his little face trying to make sense of the meanness of other children esp when he tries to cover up how sad he is about it😥😥

Ah @Poppet1974 that's so hard. Poor wee thing.

Leave that worry with me for now. You try to get some sleep. Just cosy in. It's OK.

Oh my gosh I just got into a mad panic if I hadn't set up everything properly for new place and bills.

Think it's all done, might get cup of tea and calm down, I'm such a worrier

@Poppet1974 aw it's so difficult isn't it when you want to shield them and protect them from harm. But rest easy for now and hope you got some sleep

First day back at school, I can't wait to see the children again but who knows what this term will bring

@Bettsbattenberg hope you can get a little more rest.

We're all not sure what will await in the colder months and things returning to a little more normal so can't worry too much!

Oops completely misspelt that, @bettsbattenburg

I’m bumping this so that anyone who needs to drop their worries off for the night can pop them over here and get some sleep.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery thank you, think I'm too tired to be worried at present!

Wondered about @HannaYeah, haven't seen her for ages.

Nice to see you @Frownette. How’s the new place, does it feel like home yet?
I‘ve wondered about a few of the posters here, hoping they’re all ok

Hello. It had been quite!

I think so many of us are accepting low level anxiety as the norm these days. Mine has certainly been up the last few weeks.

I don't sleep well at the best of times, but found myself panicking that one of my DGSs would fall out of the window - two storeys. I that remembered that I had that same fixation several years ago when eldest was little. I guess it's my 'symptom' of rising panic.

Just got a text that my colleague's 7 year old fell 50 feet from a cliff. At emergency waiting for word, but had been told it looks like not life threatening. My worst nightmare. My heart is pounding out of my chest.

Sorry for rambling.

God. It has been quiet!

@GenuineKlatchianPottery

Not quite, as I haven't done city centre on foot yet.

It would be a lot more grounding when I do it, helps to get bearings. Park nearby which I'd like to find, though apparently it's haunted by cider drinking teenagers

I'll have to go and have a look for myself, might be nice.

I'd like to hear about HannaYeah as I think she has been highly anxious recently.

Cannot stop my mind from buzzing tonight. Can't take a sleeping tablet as i need to be up early and clear headed enough to drive.

Found my "d"p has been sexting other people. Need to break up.

Need to be there for my (step) cousin as her mum has cancer and it is looking really bad...but cant say that to her.. she needs to be strong

Currently off work waiting for counselling after some awful jobs (in healthcare)...

Which means no overtime so money will be tight next month, let alone what the heck is going to happen with house we bought together last year.

Nowhere to move to, so cant see a way out yet, other than i have top floor of house (and share the kitchen) since its three floors and plenty big enough ti coexist without knowing about it....ish

I’m here @PineappleFuzz - you leave all your worries with me, I’ll mind them while you take a few deep breaths and drift off to sleep x

Thank you @MindatWork .. my first cisit to the nightshift thread.. i feel it popped on my landing page as a sign.. i will do a shift here on my next night at work. Whenever that is.. repay it to those who need it

Christ this is a nice thread.

I am all worried here. Living with ex husband while the sale of the house is being processed. I have a found a modest but lovely house for myself and the children and I am constantly worried that he will manage to sabotage this. He is a nasty, controlling vindictive man who cannot stand the fact that I am buying a house.
He has been constantly threatening to pull out of the sale and using various pretexts to bully me out of the purchase.
As the house is in his name, he thinks that he’s calling all the shots despite the court order and me having the home rights on the property.
Today I found out that he installed the lock on the bedroom door ( he sleeps there) so I can not access my clothes while he is out.
I do not care about his stupid lock I just want to remove my belongings from there.
Up till now have been getting the clothes when he has been out to avoid verbal abuse.
Today I spent twenty minutes there trying to remove my possessions permanently with him in the room. Cue constant verbal abuse and finally yelling at me to fuck off. I only managed to get a tiny fraction of my belongings.
Now am absolutely dreading having to go back there and being subjected to that again but I have no choice as I have most of my work clothes there, as well as paperwork and other belongings and it will take me ages to locate everything.☹️

I know he has been done this deliberately to force me to be in the same room as him so he can abuse me.

@danio01 sorry to hear that's happening . Can you take someone with you to collect your things?

@danio01 you have a lot going on there. It's all bouncing around and you're in battle mode. Just put them down for a bit. We got you. Time to get some rest now. I'm hiking this for you til morning

Holding, not hiking!
