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!

I’ve got you @Evidencebased.

You rest.

[quote Purplewithred]@AlloftheTime I am very happy to hold your insomnia for the night. Change is unsettling and you need your sleep to make the most of your fresh start. Sleep well.[/quote]
Thank you - your kindness is appreciated and my sleep was restorative. Change is unsettling and I’m accepting that it will take a little time.

@SheldonesqueTheBstard look after yourself and recharge your batteries today doing whatever feels right.

Wishing everyone here a safe Friday

Could I leave my issues with somebody for a few hours? Tomorrow is my only lie in this week and I would dearly love to not wake up at 5am.

Hello @User018475022 I've got you. You go enjoy that lie in. Cosy in and don't move until your body says it is done and satisfied with enough sleep.

Night night 💐

I’m signing in for the night shift. Any worries can keep me company while me and the cat watch out for meteors.

@SheldonesqueTheBstard your worries are already in good hands I see, but you can park any leftover ones that try and escape right here with me and the critters

Same goes for you all.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery alas it’s been cloudy here.. I’ll take a cat scritch tho if I may?

Possibly not a belly scritch though if they’re anything like my previous DCats... ferals had a habit of adopting us.... they’d have been great worry destroyers...

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery you are welcome to cuddle up with the cat. He loves a bit of attention.

Blimey!!
I have just in the last half an hour woken up.
I feel really refreshed.
Are you magic?
Today, I have decided, I am going to spend researching a Holiday.

@User018475022 tis indeed magic! I'm delighted it worked.

Can I offload my mental load and check it in with you fine folk?

Been trying and failing to buy a house for 4 months, need to move for schooling and starting to wake in the night thinking it won't happen.

Thanks to covid vaccine altering my cycle I'm also 13 weeks pregnant. That's a real mindmelt right there!

I also have a toddler so it's a lot. I feel like this thread is the living embodiment of Matt Haigs "the Comfort Book" and you might be just the people I need right now. Thank you

@Youreatragedystartingtohappen that is a load you are carrying! No wonder your poor mind and body are on overload.

Congrats and wishes for your perfect home to appear just when you least expect it to, just like this surprise pregnancy.

For now, leave it all here. Every little bit. We're here and can hold it all, so that you can rest. Just let it go. We've got this. 💐

I went to see the GP about headaches I've been having for about a month. Expected to be brushed off but after asking a couple of questions his manner became very serious. I'm waiting for my referral letter to arrive with an appointment to see a neurologist. I am very, very scared.

That is scary @beepdotbeep. The waiting is horrid. For now, let us help by holding that worry and fear for you. Just open your arms and your heart and drop them right here. There are always a few worry warriors standing by to lift the heavy loads, and to hold them carefully and tenderly until you no longer need us.

We've got this. You can just rest. Just be. This worry is in good hands.

Lurking to sook up any worries that could be done with extra hands this evening.

Just me. And an owl 🦉 later on.

@2018SoFarSoGreat Thank you

Can I please leave mine @SheldonesqueTheBstard? I just can’t get it together.

@ABitOfAShitShow we are here! Never fear. We shall take all that worry and whatever ails you and you just go rest.

My friend @SheldonesqueTheBstard and I shall be fierce in our focus, so that to😛don't have to.

Go rest. That's it. Just let it go. 💐

Bloody fat fingers.

So that you don't have to. No stupid smiley face here.

@2018SoFarSoGreat thank you!

Babysitting my friends dog and am around if anyone has any worries they need to offload

2018 is on it I see. 👍🏼

When everything is up and tither it can play merry buggers with your head.

I’m happy to fiddle with it Rubik’s cube stylee until everything is more as it should be.

It may not be quite perfect (I’ve never managed all sides) but it will look better for you in the morning if we are lucky.

Sleep soundly and may things be brighter when you wake 🌻 x

Thank you @SheldonesqueTheBstard x

I love that image!

And yes, this place is magic. I’ve had more rest and sleep since joining this thread than I’ve had months, despite escalating worries at work and with MIL’s health.

I’m here tonight for anyone struggling, your worries can be taken care of or smothered under my norks while you rest and let them go...
