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'm here to help! And those are some big babies you've got there @Tiaandchewy79 and @Becca19962014!

I can't offer much apart from a bit of shut eye. Hopefully things become clearer as the nights go by.

Definitely need sleep. Went to bed at 5am but didn't sleep. My afternoon nap wasn't good either. Got to wait an hour now before meds.

Life just too much right now.

Ugh. Minor surgery tomorrow, exH now where to be seen, me and DC battling on alone as usual

Reporting for duty after a bit of an absence (I wouldn’t have been much use, to be honest).

Toss all the bad stuffs to me and I’ll smother them in my big bed of many pillows. (I hope none of you need to though.)

I might try to sleep soon but don’t let that stop you. Chuck them at me and shut the door.

@BelladiMamma I can take those worries for the night. No need to collect them in the morning unless you absolutely must. Sending positive vibes for the surgery and solidarity with the man woes.

Please universe, let me sleep. Please kind people, mind my worries. My partner & I just don’t get on. Ever. We have a 3 year old. Everything is terrible. We argue constantly & we should just split up. But I don’t think either of us wants to pull the plug for the sake of our DC.

And I’m so ill and menopausal all the time my life is slowly grinding to a halt. And to top it all off a piece I worked really hard on (am I writer) was published today … but not with my name on but someone else’s … by accident … i mean ...

I have you, your worries, your night sweats and your flushes. I don’t know if things are made worse because you are tired out and your hormones are ebbing and flowing, but the best gift you can give your wee one is to be happy. Promise you.

I have your sweet dreams in my hands so we will do a swap.

I have you love.

Sleep. You can sort out the robbing of your article in the morning. 🌻 x

@mowly77 That sounds really tough. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with so much. I’m not good with words like the original nightshift team but I am good at worry-minding. Let me take those for tonight. Try to rest and forget about it all for the next 8 hours (or more).

And I know it is easier said than done turning on the happy switch, but everything always seems better with a sleep and it is but one little step closer to reclaiming that for yourself x

Ah see - @SheldonesqueTheBstard got in there with better words before I could even waffle a response. You’re in safe hands - she’s done a great job of minding my woes in the past.

Me and abit have you by the looks of it.

We are expert squashers of all things troublesome. 😴

@ABitOfAShitShow

How are you my friend? I trust you are well? I’ve some space if you need anything trapped under a lurk of chub ☺️ X

Been busy working overtime, can't wait till I'm off again in October. Need the break before I burnout.

My 24 yr old has been having blood tests 4x. Apparently she has low platelets, well below what an adult of her age should have. She only went to have a blood test as she thought her thyroid was playing up again. She now has to wait till December to see haematology about why they are so low. She has to be so careful not to injury herself, if she bleeds too much we have to go straight to A&E.

That sounds a dreadful worry. Your poor girl.

I will hope that your dd will remain Injury free and I wish I could send a cloud of best wishes to wrap her up safe until the haematology appt.

But for tonight, and when you need, I have you. You can sleep and get back a wee bit of strength to enable you to plough on.

These times are hard, but your dreams can give you the life you want for you and your girl until real life catches on.

Blessings. Sleep well 🌻 x

We are never too old to be someone’s bairn (as my mam says) And I’m in my 50s ☺️

You being there will such a comfort to her too x

Can I share a lingering worry, I work with a charity under a government contract. It’s now out for tender again, this time the government department is saying they may not get funding at all so possible no project at all, never mind that it might go to another company or organisation. Means I don’t know if I’ll have a job, possibly until the end of the contract at start of April next year. It isn’t even the job, it’s independence.

Just about to nod off but if you can release your worries I will shove them under my considerable bulk as I sleep.

I am in a similar boat but I have a couple of years yet. I can’t give it headspace yet but I know it is coming.

I wish i could take your worry away but I can’t.

What I can hope is that life does its usual little magic thing and gives you another door to walk through if this one closes. I hope that for me too.

May I take your worry for now to let you sleep?

May you sleep the sleep of a goddess. 🌻 x

Thank you Sheldonesque

@SheldonesqueTheBstard Ah I’m doing ok, to be honest. It’s bumpy but I’m getting there. Everything good at your end? x

All is good this end - just bumping along, same as everyone else ☺️ X

I slept well and am now home from hospital. So far so good 😊

Not worried, but awfully sad. My trip home is over and I'm about to board the train, to go back far away from all my loveys. It's the hardest bit, never gets easier. Crying time.

Folks in the train will be perplexed 😩

Folks on here won’t be perplexed 2018

I’ve sat on your train seat and in your comfy travelling shoes too often.

You have left a bit of your heart behind. When you get to your destination you will find a bit of theirs tucked inside your luggage in a dock or something.

May your journey be trouble free. May your tears remind you of a happy memory with every drip.

Is that you away to leave the Homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 now? X

Sock. Not dock.

Ah you lovely person, dear @SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard. Such lovely words you say, making my eyes leak more.

Yes. Off to London then cross the big pond Monday. And back to work.

You're right though. I'm carrying all that love with me. And pounds of tablet. Gin and fudge and sea glass and pebbles. Oh, and excess weight on the hips and belly. All signs of an excellent trip.
