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.

I’m also here to take care of any of your worries, stress and anxiety.
Me and DD are on day 3 of isolation as I’m showing symptoms. So I’m able to keep them quiet on the end of the couch.

@Thepigeonsarecoming thank you, I’m still awake, still can’t sleep, still peeing every 30 min.
I’m starting to wonder if something isn’t quite right.

@2018SoFarSoGreat thank you so much for that, not sure how it works but I slept really well and am taking some more positive steps (stepping away from social media tonight!) to make things better.

@Mistressiggi I am so glad to hear that. Have a much better day. So glad it helped.

Signing in for the night watch. Me and my faithful furry shadow are here to take care of any of your worries that are keeping you awake.
Pass them over here and I’ll tuck them up in my nice clean bedding for the night. They’ll come back all soft and squishy and smelling of lavender

Thanks for the new thread , am here to take On my way! worries tomorrow but can anyone take mine so I can sleep tonight ? It's hard is at the moment , so much uncertainty .

It’s a scary time @girlofthenorth but I can take some of your worries, if we all share them equally we’ll get through this together 🙂

I’m here to take care of any worries you want to leave with me. Drop them off and sleep well. I’ve got them.

I'm getting more and more anxious about the fact I'm anxious.

My MH is usually pretty solid, so I know having this ongoing underlying unease is not normal.

I'm actively trying to avoid the worst excesses of doom mongers and people almost revelling in the current situation but it seeps in anyway.

What an amazing thread with such amazing people. Thank you Naomi and hoping for better days for you.
Wishing you all a safe and gentle sleep this evening,

Ditto, leave your fears and worries behind tonight

@BuzzShitbagBobbly it is OK for for tonight. I've got you. You just settle in and leave the worries to me. Have a lovely sleep.

Struggling tonight..Was due to start a new job but training been delayed. I do care work so dbs required. My ex had taken a 20%paycut and Iguess my maintenance will be reduced . Ex had an affair and still with her and she works in only local place who is employing people .Agency are saying lots of places declining staff due to risk. So really low .

notmrscookie that sounds rubbish, I'm sorry you are in that situation. Hope you can get some sleep while I mind your worries. Sure, I've nothing else to do now

Seriously though, I've been let go today, until all this coronavirus stuff is over. I expect to have a job to go back to, but in the meantime it's all a bit shit, really.

@DramaAlpaca so sorry you are dealing with being let go. It is no good. You didn’t ask but I’ll take that off your plate for a bit.

Can I jump in?

I'm feeling so low right now. Husband ran off to France last Tuesday to 'self isolate' - with his young French girlfriend. Leaving me, 2 children and his elderly mum behind. Struggling with the fact I still love him, yet he has done this. It's a long line of shittyness from him- honestly you'd be shocked if I told you everything. Can't sleep, haven't eaten anything since Wednesday and I'm just putting on a brave face for everyone, but I'm feeling incredibly low.

I also found out that my parents have got the dreaded virus and my 80 year old dad is particularly bad with it. I feel like I cannot cope anymore and if I didn't have the kids I'd end it all.

@Whatevaminga that's a huge load to carry. Let me take care of those worries for now. You try to get some rest.

@2018SoFarSoGreat thank you for listening.

This is the first time I've ever spoken about this in detail. I'm crushed and completely broken. But I have to keep going because of my children.

@2018SoFarSoGreat "it is OK for for tonight. I've got you. You just settle in and leave the worries to me. Have a lovely sleep."

Thank you. It genuinely helped to say (type) it out loud

I’m here with extra space to spare for your worries today. Send them my way and I’ll feed them til they pop and even share the toilet roll.

@HannaYeah thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking my worries last night, that was so kind of you.

We'll be OK, DH still has his job, it's just that I worry about my mental health as going out to work is really important to me. I am going to do my best to keep to a routine and get busy doing much needed jobs at home.

@Whatevaminga oh my, that's a lot to cope with all at once. Offering you a and a virtual because I think you need one (virtual ones are still allowed, I'm sure)

@DramaAlpaca I will say that I settled in finally after working at home all week. On Friday it clicked and I think I can manage to mostly keep calm and even enjoy the peace to a point.

DH and I making jokes helps me - yesterday he emailed me (From his spot in the next room, where I can turn my head and see him!) and asked how my day was going and if we could meet for lunch.

Today I informed him that there are daily yoga classes commencing (In the living room) and if he’s interested I’ll send him the schedule and we can ride together. He replied that as long as we could hit the nearby coffee shop afterward (in our kitchen) he’d be willing to try it out.

Good evening

Can I just add my worry here. I don't really want to talk about it in real life and I think it would be good just to get it out!

I found a lump a couple of weeks ago (on my bum ) which didn't feel right so I went to the doctor last Friday and she has referred me to general surgery. I have tried to convince myself that is it probably nothing to worry about but I googled (not a great idea) and now I keep thinking its cancer! I got a letter today and the next available appointment is 28th April. The doctor said it isn't clinically like piles and it doesn't hurt at all. Five weeks feels like such a long time!

@WhenTheDragonsCame I’ve got your worries, I’ll look after them. Though I might also have some reassurance for you too.

Over Christmas I had a small, hard, unmoving and non painful lump appear on my arm. It was growing very slowly. The doctor ruled out it being a cyst and send me for a scan that I had mid February - it was a lipoma. Non cancerous and definitely not worth the amount of worrying I did! They appear on “fatty” parts of your body randomly apparently. So long as your lump isn’t fast growing and doesn’t feel rough/rugged it’s very likely not cancer - and if it was suspected cancer you’d get seen really quickly!
