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.

@INeedADayOff it is horrible when that happens. Give me the Worry and pain and you just cozy up and sleep. No more dreams. Just sleep. That's it.

my brin isv squillid,

Please, may I join? I'm new to this, and I'd like to join. I have so much room in my heart x

Hi there , Haven't been here for ages but have been thinking about all you guys. I think I really need somebody to take my worries away for the night please. I have covid , day 5 . I know there are all the other threads but it is only this one that I know will take the worries for me and put them somewhere so I can sleep tonight.
Please help take them , am feeling scared !

Hi @girlofthenorth.
I’m here, I’ll take care of your worries for as long as you need. Try to rest and hopefully you’ll be back to full strength very soon.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery thank you- I'll try and sleep. Jeez this is hard!
@FinallyFluid I'm so happy to hear you're doing well 
@TJ17 I'm thinking of you.
@PleaseLetIanBeDead sorry to hear about your allergy- the next one will be fine for you though apparently - a good friend with severe allergies has read .

On this longest night of the year i will hold your worries, if you need me to. It's warm and comfy here, so they're sure to snuggle in and let you rest.

It’s no worse for me than for anyone else, but tonight I am so scared about Brexit and what is happening. Some nights it just keeps me awake.

@akerman just give that worry to me and you snuggle up and sleep. That's the way. Just sleep.

Thank you so much xxx

Thank you @girlofthenorth

We are still in hospital, we've had a few bumps in the road but things are much better now and we are hoping to be discharged on Christmas Eve!

Will never forget the selfless kindness from this group that night before surgery when I had no where else to turn so thank you 🙏🏼

ah @TJ17 I so hope you do get discharged. That would be a lovely present.

Hoping everyone else is managing this week - it is hard with all of this expectation of jollity. If you need it, I'm here to hold the worries so that you can just be. I have lots of work to do so the shall sit quietly under my desk or else.

For anyone struggling with any worries or problems, I’m here to take care of them for you while you sleep. I shall bundle them up at the end of the bed with the cat and he will keep them subdued until you want to collect them.

I’m here as well this week , having been pinged by track and trace , and with a whole ten days off , naturally I’ve turned nocturnal . So happy to give anyone’s worries a roll of sellotape and a pile of presents to wrap, to distract them away .

Please make the rain stop. DP has his first round of chemo tomorrow for advanced bile duct cancer, the hospital is an hour away and the roads are flooded. Every step of the way has been a battle and nothing has gone smoothly, please just let him get his chemo as planned.

Bloody, I’m wishing the rain away already for much less important reasons than yours . I’ll double my efforts for you , and I hope so much he gets there safely x

Oh bloody - thinking of you xxx

Sending love and hope to you and your DP tomorrow @bloodywhitecat

I will join in with best wishes for tomorrow. With the whole crew on it you can just let it go. We will hold the Worry, you just hold his hand.

I looked for this last night but couldn’t find it anywhere.

My elderly mum is in hospital. Heart problems. So far she hasn’t got Covid but the hospital is full of it according to a doctor I spoke to the other day.

I live a long way away and my last visit was horrid, totally dominated by my narc sister and my mum being too weak emotionally to stand up to her. An ongoing situation of many years. I’m really worried that could be the last time I’ll ever see her.

@ChristingleAlltheWay that's really scary. The distance feels like a million miles at times like this.

I will hold this worry for you. You just cosy in and day. Let it go. There now. I've got this. You sleep.

Thank you all. I managed to sleep (wasn't expecting to) and we made it through the floods. First chemo session almost done (but now the road home is closed due to flooding!)

@2018SoFarSoGreat - thank you so very much. Bizarrely, you must have written that at the exact same time my cat woke me to go out. I went back to bed thinking I'd never get back to sleep, read your message and drifted off. x

Can I ask for your support again tonight, please? Mum's been transferred to a v under-staffed ward which had covid patients (though she is negative). I doubt she'll make it out alive.
