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

[2018SoFarSoGreat]

New thread here, since the Last Thread has ever so slowly filled up. Isn't it amazing how little our worries crept up in the night when the world was actually one big worry?

Pandemic or not, this is the place to just park your worries. We don't ask questions, or try to solve your problems. We just hold them, tenderly, carefully, until you are strong enough to take them back. If they choose not to come back, all the better.

Signing in for the Night Shift, V3!

@BelladiMamma.
What happy news! Thank you for bringing it here. Worries tend to dissipate and shrivel in the face of positive news.

I’m here and can take your worries for the night (or remainder of it) or morning or whatever time of day it is where you might be worrying.

DD (13) being bullied for months now, latest episode (tonight) was that they've created an Instagram account of photos of her with nasty comments below each ... and tagged her in them.

One of the bullies is the son of good friends of ours who she has been friends with since they were very small. I am incandescent with rage about them all, but the sadness that he is actively involved adds another level.

We're on holiday and it's basically ruined it for DD.

I'm terrified of the effect it's having on her mentally and physically. She's had a problem off and on with tics for a couple of years now - and they've gone through the roof. I had to cuddle her to sleep tonight and her little body was twitching and spasming constantly until it calmed down a bit when she got into a deep sleep.

I'm just so so sad and scared for her.

@inigomontoyahwillcox

I don’t have any right things to say about that. It’s wretched and unimaginable.

Let me take your fears and worries now and allow you to just support and love her. If you’re able to leave some of the anger you are feeling tonight I’ll take that also.

Thank you @Hannayeah - knowing there's someone out there sharing the fears is really lovely 💐

@inigomontoyahwillcox

Thank you *@Hannayeah* - knowing there's someone out there sharing the fears is really lovely 💐

Glad I could be here.

@hannayeah my terrierist was happy to mind them for you a couple of nights ago. I very much hope it helped x And I apologise if he piddled on them

@inigomontoyahwillcox my team are here for you and your daughter too if you need us, backing up the lovely @hannayeah

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery thank you and please give terrierist some extra pats and snuggles from me.

Also, yes, if I may say, additional hands and paws would be good with these worries for @inigomontoyahwillcox’s precious daughter. When worries involve intentional mean-ness,it can only help to counter with extra caring.

@inigomontoyahwillcox hope it helped setting things out here. So sorry you are facing this horrible situation x

Signing in for the night watch. Any and all worries can be dropped off here.
Me and the cat will guard them while you sleep.

@hannayeah thank you, I will. He is currently curled up in the crook of my knees, nibbling any worries in his dreams!

@inigomontoyahwillcox I’ve been in a similar place to your DD, please park both your and her worries with us for the night

@GenuineKlatchianPottery I’d really appreciate it if I could leave my worries with you for a short time if its ok?

Thank you all. DD had a better day today, lots of fun with her cousins on the beach and some board games tonight. Conversations ongoing with parents. Tic has reduced a little today.

I had to have a nap today after getting an hour's sleep last night. With the combination of last nights lack of sleep, DD having a nice day and your kind sharing of the load we'll have a better night's sleep I'm sure.

@inigomontoyahwillcox

So glad to hear that.

If you think it is helpful and the right moment arises, please let her know that people who behave that way have something really wrong with them. And anyone who goes along with it lacks strength and character.

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery

I’ll keep your worries, too. The cats are a bit nutty on catnip right now. Your worries can just enjoy watching their antics and forget to worry you.

I'm here but have my two DGS's here for the week and I'm exhausted! So much fun but man, I'm apparently quite old 😣 shall be such a relief to return to work on Friday.

The poor cat has been hiding since they arrived, so she can hold the worries in her quiet spot and I'll check in with her periodically. She's very experienced, and knows that no worry must escape while in our care.

I'm signing in. I have clean sheets and an ashwaghanda laced tea, in an otherwise topsy turvy house.

I am successfully parking my worries after my dd is sometimes better and sometimes worse (public service announcement - cola actually does help the after effects of a lumbar puncture).

I can snuggle your worries in too if you want to drop them off with me.

I’m glad that worries are being parked for the night. I am glad to hear that your dear daughter is having respite from constant pain.

May the better bits far outweigh the worse bits.

If anyone wants to shove owt to you or to me then that is ticketyboo.

I just may not be able to reply.

But rest assured I will be using your worries as a rather accommodating cushion for my already ultra padded behind.

With my best wishes to all and hopes for the sweetest of dreams for all that need them.

I will be sleeping the sleep of a zombie come Saturday morning x 🌻

Thank you so much @hannayeah, I wish I could watch them too, I miss being owned by cats!

@inigomontoyahwillcox so glad your DD had a better day today, long may it continue. Your worries and hers will be minded here, thanks to such lovely MNers

@stilldumdedumming park your worries and get some rest, it will
help you help your daughter

If anyone could take my work (ongoing situation but very stressful) and MIL worries for a while I’d really appreciate it.

Me, the terrierist , boarding Border Collie and 🦜 are happy to mind any worries for the night.

🦜 will nibble them, terrierist might pee on them and BC will probably lick them into submission.

Hello! Can I park my work worries here please? I think I need to leave my much loved job. I’m the main breadwinner and there’s nothing else like what I do anywhere near. I’m supposed to be on holiday but can’t sleep because I’m worrying about what’s happening at work without me and how my horrible boss will turn on me next week for anything that goes wrong, which just isn’t healthy.

That sounds unsustainable in the long term

For tonight park your worries with me and my furry/feathery accomplices. We will take care of them for you so you can get some rest. Tomorrow IS another day, and things will be clearer after a good nights sleep 😴

I’m visiting my Mom. Anyone can drop their worries and I’ll send them out to her. She will fix their wagons, I promise! She has a way about her. They won’t even be recognizable when you come to pick them up again.

Can I please drop my bankruptcy worries off with you? It's due to be filed tomorrow and I'm filled with dread

Yes, please do. We have some similar family woes happening so they will be in good company.

Try to get some rest and put it out if your mind now.

@Hannayeah thank you 😊
