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.

I am awake tonight if you need to off load your worries

whatdoidonowffs · 11/01/2023 04:45

I have no worries at the moment I just wanted to say this is the nicest most inspirational thread I have ever read on any forum
thanks for your good work ❤️

If anyone is around tonight it’s me again with DS with type 1 diabetes. Numbers are going up and I worry his pump is not working. Never sure when I can relax and if they’ll start coming down. It is all a bit tiring! Thanks you amazing people.

So scared of losing new job. Have barely told anyone irl as don't want to get the words out. Feel spent from worrying about it. Have cried for days. Feel defeated, embarrassed, and just so sad. Please send me good vibes and prayers.

Thank you nightshift for all that you do.

@Libre2 if you are awake, how are things now? If you are asleep I'm sending you good thoughts for much needed rest. I've got you. 😊

@Takenoprisoner that sound so stressful and I'm sorry. I'm here to keep that worry for you. Deep breaths, let go of worry right now. Eyes closed. Tension dissipating.

Libre2 · 12/01/2023 06:58

@Mumtobabyhavoc thank you! They came down at about 2 but went back up at 6! Not a clue what is going on but that is the joy of type 1 diabetes.

@Takenoprisoner - I know it’s not really the done thing but sending you hugs and prayers

Is your DS under the weather? Could it be a cold/virus affecting the glucose level? Maybe take temperature? Or dehydration?
(I'm just thinking of when I had gestational diabetes - totally different situation, I know)
You've probably gone through your mental checklist already, though. 😊
Did you manage any sleep?

Takenoprisoner · 12/01/2023 09:35

@Mumtobabyhavoc thanks so much!

@Libre2 I need all the hugs and prayers I can get, so thank you for both!

2018SoFarSoGreat · 12/01/2023 09:50

Sending hugs and wishes for health and peace to you both, @Takenoprisoner and @Libre2.

Pasta...although we did double cook it, which usually mitigates the rise. Anyway, there we go! It is what it is.

I hope this will give you some relief and you can get much needed rest tonight. 🌹

Never too many. 😊💖

Takenoprisoner · 12/01/2023 21:19

@2018SoFarSoGreat have to agree with pp, no such thing as too many hugs and well wishes!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 12/01/2023 21:23

Wishing you a good sleep tonight @Takenoprisoner

Takenoprisoner · 12/01/2023 23:40

@Mumtobabyhavoc thank you and you too. Wishing everyone on this thread a restful night's sleep and a peaceful day tomorrow.

GoldCherub · 16/01/2023 00:33

I’m around tonight if anyone needs to drop off their worries.

princessspotify · 16/01/2023 00:56

I have £85 in the bank until 26th. Luckily I did a food shop today and I'm not working this week so I don't need to pay for fuel. 🙏That nothing urgent pops up I the next 10 days. I know there are a lot worse off than me.

GoldCherub · 16/01/2023 01:21

Good news that you have food in. Lots of people are better or worse off than you but this is your worry and important.

I will take it for tonight and hope that things are not tricky for you in the period until 26th.

I’ve got hold of it so you don’t have to worry about urgent things popping up for tonight. Get some rest and leave the money worries with me.

Chinnegan · 16/01/2023 02:36

I cannot sleep I think my marriage is over and I'm filled with absolute dread about the future. This week my wonderful grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer too. I feel totally alone. I really need to sleep.

GoldCherub · 16/01/2023 02:52

@Chinnegan that’s a lot to think about no wonder you are having trouble sleeping.

Chinnegan · 16/01/2023 02:56

Thank you for listening. I'm going to try putting on a meditation, I can't calm my mind down by myself.
