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.

Thank you.
Can't tell you how helpful that is to hear.

Hi @Pumpkintopf . I’m here to help with taking the weight of those worries off your mind.
Just leave the stress here with us and close your eyes.

I'm in the middle of a divorce.

My h is abusive. He's had affairs. Screamed abuse in my face. Smashed things up.

Last winter he attacked me after two hours plus of screaming abuse. The dcs thought he had killed me.

He is being prosecuted for assault.

He was recorded being verbally abusive to my youngest dc in January. The next day he then attempted suicide with pills and whisky and everyone is now believing him when he tells them he's had years of abuse from me which is nonsense.

He wants to see the dcs. He wants to travel with them. They don't want to see him. They are scared of him.

Through my solicitor, I say no absolutely no travel and the dcs don't want to see him anyway.

I'm just so worried he's going to take back control and force things with the dcs. They are all distressed. All having psychological care.

I think the damage is so huge and he's dangerous that this is going to rumble on forever with even more horror.

@BlastedPimples that sounds scary. I'm sorry you and your children have been subjected to that. I hope you managed to fall asleep after posting here. Sometimes writing it out helps to let it go for a bit. I'll hold this worry for you and hope you can get some rest.

Me again with the DS with type 1 diabetes. Numbers all over the place tonight (well mainly high if I am honest). Can’t get him down. DH has said he will do tonight (because he is amazing) but I still lie here worrying. Thanks

I'm so sorry none of responded, @Seriouslymole but know that your worry about your DS was held closely. Hope you can get his numbers better today.

Please don't be sorry. I appreciate you all here, very much. We are still battling highs today. Not sure what's happening. Maybe puberty - finally...

Is anyone there? In hospital with my adult son-they don't know what is wrong. I am hoping to catch a few hours of sleep by his bedside (if he sleeps). So worried.

Hi. @SquirrelFan I'm really sorry to hear your son is in a bad way and you have reason to be so worried.
I hope he is able to come through whatever has affected him and you are able to get some sleep so you can rest and take strength.
I hope you have some real life support too.
Do you want to tell us about what is happening?

Thank you for responding, I got an hour. We are home and he is resting but we'll need to watch him carefully today and go back tomorrow to see how things are progressing. I appreciate the nightshift here and all the wonderful doctors and nurses at A&E!

Has the night shift stopped running?

We could revive it.

I went quiet after a horrible time last year and it looks like this thread did too, but I got alerted to your message.

Are you ok? Do you need me to hold something for you so that you can sleep?

Hi @2018SoFarSoGreat sorry that you had a bad time last year

Thank you. I finally feel strong enough to come out of hiding.

@Slavetomycat good to see you back with your kind words.

Hello lovely people, I'm here on the day shift, happy to look after anything you need to drop off for safekeeping.

Hello all

Not a lot of worries on my shoulder here at the moment I am a bit unwell but life is getting better and easier.

Happy to hold somebodies worries from down under so they can rest x

@2018SoFarSoGreat sorry to hear that, I hope things are getting brighter for you

Thanks to the responders, I did actually fall asleep. This thread has helped me before.

Getting some medical results today and pretty scared.

@2018SoFarSoGreat sorry you had a bad year. This year has not been so great for me - but lots of positives too , have to remember that .
I can hold some worries tonight .

@SpinningOutWaitingForYa hope the results were ok for you .

Thanks @hellodolly1 actually so much better than I could ever hope for!

Am Pleased about that !

Don't know if anyone is here tonight but my elderly DF isn't well- I could really do with sleep but I'm waiting for a phone call. Can someone take my worries so I can sleep?
I could really do with the sleep. I don't need to be waiting up. My body is on high alert.
Feels better just writing it down .. but hopefully someone is out there ..

I'm glad to hold your worries for you tonight, @hellodolly1. You just put your head on the pillow and shut your eyes. We'll hold your dear dad while you rest.
