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've got this one for you. What a worry! Sending best healing wishes to her, and you just go cuddle up and get some rest. That's it. Sleep tight.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 24/12/2020 23:19

I’m also here so can split the load with @2018SoFarSoGreat.
Sending healing and calming thoughts to all who need them.
The cat is curled up on my feet at the end of the bed so any worries can snuggle up with him for the night.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 24/12/2020 23:42

Thanks @GenuineKlatchianPottery the more the merrier, pardon the pun. I'm making my very easy but very delicious pecan pies. My rolling pin shall squash any pesky worries who dare to spoil this night.

DramaAlpaca · 25/12/2020 00:12

I'm here too and can help take some of the load.

@ChristingleAlltheWay sending best wishes to you and your mum Flowers

Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas, free from worries.

If anyone is in need of a place to leave their worries overnight there’s a nice soft spot at the end of the bed, the cat will keep them under control for you while you sleep.

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 30/12/2020 22:52

Yes please. I'm worried about a relative. This is a vulnerable time for her due to the suicide of her partner and then her own attempts. She's been discharged from mental health services after 10 years of trying to "fix her". They've said she's unfixable. She's lost her cat and has to move out of her flat. I'm worried this year she'll try suicide again and succeed. I've got a bad feeling this year, more than precious years but I really could do with some sleep, so may I leave my worries here tonight?

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 30/12/2020 23:35

@EddieVeddersfoxymop that’s a lot to try and take on. For tonight leave those worries here with me, I promise to take good care of them for you.

EddieVeddersfoxymop · 31/12/2020 08:14

@GenuineKlatchianPottery thank you. I needed that!

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 31/12/2020 23:10

I’m signing in for the night watch, anyone who needs to drop off their worries for the night, me and the cat are tucked up in bed with lovely fresh bedding, so they can snuggle down with us and will be returned smelling of spring sunshine.
Happy New Year to you all.

BobISMyUncle · 13/01/2021 00:33

I can help, I hope. I've had so much help, after an assault, but I AM getting better. I am. Memory things. I have space right here, just thee. Sorry, there. Not dribbled on it yet xx
It's a you shaped space. Just for you xx You will fit, just fine xx I promise to try not to dribble xx you are all welcome xx

Frownette · 13/01/2021 01:25

Just got woken up from a deep sleep by a commotion - probably won't be able to go back to sleep now. Ongoing problem.

Please wish me best of luck dealing with it in the morning.

ioffernothing · 13/01/2021 03:30

Sorry to butt in on your thread.
I have literally nothing to offer and feel inadequate. I've withdrawn from an important meeting on zoom because what's the point in me attending when I add no value.

DramaAlpaca · 13/01/2021 03:38

@Frownette best of luck to you Shamrock

@ioffernothing yes you do, you offer plenty. Be strong. You are worth so much Flowers

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 19/01/2021 23:38

Anyone needing to take a break from their worries for the night is welcome to drop them off at the end of the bed. Me and the cat will take good care of them while you sleep.

Pizzafortwo · 02/02/2021 02:58

Struggling with insomnia and anxiety. Need a handhold through the night.

ZombiePara · 02/02/2021 03:07

@Pizzafortwo I'm here to mind your anxieties, and take that insomnia away. Rest easy tonight

Rainbows2021 · 04/02/2021 20:45

The Doctor found a lump in my breast the other day, I went because I was getting some pains, I have my first appointment tomorrow with the Hospital. Could somebody pop this in their pocket for me so I can sleep tonight?

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 04/02/2021 21:23

@Rainbows2021
I’m here for the night, I’ll keep your worries safe and quiet for you.
I hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow.

nightscreams · 07/02/2021 02:56

I just woke up from the most horrendous nightmare a couple of hours ago, I was trapped in a house and not able to get to my child in another house or back to my childhood home Confused totally confusing but I still can't calm down, I have anxiety and it's been bad this week but I've been hiding it from everybody as is my way.

Frownette · 07/02/2021 03:00

It's ok OP someone is taking away your worries and holds you safe for tonight. Rest peaceful.

Bilgepumper · 07/02/2021 03:15

I can’t sleep. My lovely neighbour has died from Covid and I’m very sad.

foofooyeah · 07/02/2021 03:50

@bilgepumper
That is so sad. I hope you get some rest. I’m here to help with the grief

foofooyeah · 07/02/2021 03:52

@nightscreams
Nightmares are horrible and unsettling, I’m here to take your anxiety away. Wishing you sleep and sweet dreams

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 07/02/2021 23:13

I’m here with the cat if anyone needs to drop their worries off for the night. We’ll tuck them in with us while you sleep.

PowerToTheMeeple · 07/02/2021 23:24

I’m worried about messing up my masters. I’ve got assignment deadlines coming out of my ears, I’ve had to put in to extend some of them because I know I just won’t get them in on time. About to go back out on placement soon. Not on a COVID ward, but worried about doing both assignments and working 40 hours a week again. I’m in my final year, this is the last (long) stretch and then I qualify in summer (hopefully). I just keep messing up with doing my work. I am a bad procrastinator, but I can’t get motivated to do the work. My mental health has declined and I’m so scared of failing.
