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.

@EduCated have a wee rest. It is peaceful here. We hold the worries tight, cuddle them in and insist that they let you be. You just rest now.

@Ironess your poor mum. Poor you. Let me carry that sadness and worry tonight. You get some rest for tomorrow.

Can I join in please?
I hate waking up in the night and not sleeping all the way through.
We are away from home on holiday and the worries about what is going on in the world actually appear worse than if I was at home.
Nothing from our flight company yet so just carry on as normal. In a good place here. Lovely and warm.i struggle with the cold at home.
HoweveR, it’s not normal.
The huge carnival that takes place over 12 days was cAncelled on Thursday night. It’s sad. They started putting the stage Up on Wednesday, yesterday they were taking it down.
Restaurants are definitely looking emptier. Spain has closed everything but supermarkets and pharmacies and they may do it here in the Canary Islands.
Our friends who sell tickets and rely on the commission are told they might be stepped down for a couple of months.
We were told buses are no longer accepting cash, you have to get a special card. More hassle, it’s miles away to the centre.
I love coming here. We come three times a year. It’s sad to see it getting quieter by the day.
Then I worry about friends and family at home. Are they going to be alright.
Worry is a thief of time isn’t it? Sleeping time in my case.
I’m going to lie back down now and hope that jiggly sore throats is just me being a bit tired and over anxious.
Thank you for listening lovely ladies.

@Dowser no worry should steal your holiday. You just lie there, cosy in and think nice, unworried holiday thoughts. Then sleep. Safe and sound. That's it. I will mind them all for tonight.

Can I join you please? My BF left me, we've agreed to talk today, there's a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that he may be good for me but I don't trust it. My anxiety sometimes lies to me you see? I'm so confused.....so I'm waking super early every day with stress..., I'm so tired.
I will happily mind some other worries if someone would be able to mind mine, even just for a brief moment Flowers

So difficult not to worry at the minute.

I am in Northern Ireland. Schools ten mile down the road in Ireland are all closed.

@Whataboutthismess I know what you mean.

They closed all the schools in my State starting Monday. My office told us to work from home.

Popping in to see if anyone has a need tonight.

I'm having a lazy evening and have strength to hold whatever you need to let go of for a while.

I am happy to hold your pain, your fears, your distress , your exhaustion, tonight.

Take a rest, those of you who are weary, and let me and the others who are feeling strong tonight, cherish you. You are worth it. You are cared for. You are safe.

I need my abusive ex to stop trying to destroy me. I've had enough of no one taking the history of abuse into account. He is now using DD access to abuse me and it's awful. Can I park these thoughts overnight please.

I feel so upset.

My dd (10) just had a little cry because she's so sad about the virus and all the old and poorly people who will die Sad I am so terrified because although I keep telling her she won't get it and me and her dad are too young to get it, I know that's a lie.
