Bring us your worries, big or small! The nightshift will hold them so you can sleep

[2018SoFarSoGreat]

Well, that LAST THREAD filled up much faster - so glad so many of us are finding this a place of comfort. How lucky we are to have so many of us on standby to hold our fears and worries, so that we can rest.

No questions asked, no solutions given, just the offer of a place to lay down our burdens. All are welcome.

Ah @Mumz90x that's a tough one. They are really little, so not too out there to bathe them together, but if the photo shows anything alsk her to delete it now.

Please don't let this keep you from sleeping. Tomorrow you can deal with this. Try not to let it upset you too much.

We can hold the bundle of worries for tonight. Go rest. Just let it all go.

Medical appt coming up. Very anxious

@HereticFanjo isn't it amazing how we get so scared when we know answers will be coming soon? Being beings with imagination can be a terrible gift.

Leave that worry and fear here. There's no reason for you to lose sleep, when we can wrangle it all into a corner (with a cat if it's lucky) and let you rest. Go on. Just cozy in and leave it with us for tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you :-)

I’m signing in for the night shift, any stress, problems or worries can keep the cat entertained while you sleep.
Just leave them at the end of the bed and you can sleep while we keep them under control for you.

I've been a lousy friend because of mental health. But equally I cant be the friend she wants me to be because of my mental health.

Im slowly recovering from a crisis but im terrified.

Im genuinely worried about energy prices, my DD has an aversion to wearing clothes so I'll have to keep it off during the day when I'm on my own so that it's warm enough for her.

I feel under a lot of pressure. I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep. I hardly ever get any sleep.

I can’t sleep or rest at all.
Everything is overwhelming me.

@Arghhconfused that's a lot of pressure you are under. I'm sorry it is so hard.

For now,just let it all go. Pass it along to us and we will hold it for you to rest. Truly. Let it go and just cozy in. That's it. Just close your eyes and give your poor body and mind a break. It's OK for now.

Ah @Becca19962014. It's OK. You're not alone. We're here for you.

You know you can trust this. Just push it all over to us, and we will hold it until you feel a bit stronger. Please try to sleep. Just shut your eyes. Maybe picture the ocean? Just sleep. You are on good hands.

I can't sleep and I haven't slept properly for days. My DS (ASD) is out of school and I'm struggling to find him a new one that can meet his needs. My DD (also ASD) has an ED but is refusing therapy. Am a lone parent so the burden feels quite heavy tonight.

My elderly mum is also living with us who can't use her hands due to arthritis so I have had to take an unpaid break from my work for a year, to care for them all. I am caring for three people who I love dearly but I am so so tired.

Our flat is too small but I can't afford to move so I sleep in the lounge with my mum on the sofa. I haven't had any space to myself for years. I have nowhere to go to just be on my own as I have no bedroom. Am so tired. So so tired.

Still can’t sleep.

@MrsToddsShortcut that sounds like way too much for one person to cope with, really difficult. I'm so sorry.

If you'd like to lay it all down here, just bundle it up and lay it down. We can hold it for now, and let you sleep. Really. Just let it go and rest. Feel the lightness? That's it. You have no worries for now. We've got you.

Thank you. The kindness of strangers is a Raul thing. Am sending love ebbtto all of you x

If any down under mumsnetters need any worries minding I can put them in my pocket for you and hopefully squash them under my pregnancy weight gain

I’m signing in for the night shift. Leave those problems and stresses here with me. The cat is being a holy terror tonight and has knocked everything off my bedside table, so he could really do with some problems to guard. Just drop them off at the end of the bed and we’ll keep them subdued for you.

I just wanted to pop back in and say thank you to those who responded to my post a couple of weeks ago. I was convinced my IVF had failed.
Today I went for a scan. I’m just over 6 weeks pregnant. We saw a heartbeat!
Thank you everyone who was so kind to me and helped me get to sleep!

@The3rdWatermelon ah, that's so wonderful. I got watery eyed reading that. Congratulations. I'm so very delighted for you. Thank you for sharing!!!!! Now, pop back in here every so often and tell us how you (and little one) are doing.

I have the biggest smile on my face :)

If anyone wants to drop off their problems and worries for the night, I’m here to watch over them and keep them quiet for you.
Just leave them at the end of the bed with the cat and you can sleep while we guard them.

I'm pregnant through IVF and terrified after 2 miscarriages. Frightened 24/7 as I know what can go wrong. Still very early, so a couple of weeks until my 7.5 week scan. Very difficult to sleep even though that's my only respite from the worry 😔

@CurbsideProphet sorry you are worried! You can just park it here for tonight. Really you can! Your body and mind need the rest. So just let it go for now.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery and Cat are more than prepared to hold it until you have rested. I'll be on standby if needed. But you, you and your little nugget, you can just sleep. Just cosy in and sleep.

Thank you 💐 I did manage to sleep 💐

@CurbsideProphet, I’m so glad you managed to get some sleep.
I’m here again tonight if anyone needs their worries watched. I’ll tuck them up with the cat and keep a close eye on them for you while you sleep.

Hoping and dreaming for you watermelon ✨ 🌻

I'm here for any night worries. Write it down in silver air. I'll pop the worries into a silken bag and then fly them across a Chagall blue sky of dreaming and white horses, so you can sleep.
