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.

Thanks @Slavetomycat that helped !

Pls hold my worry and provide comfort if you can ; I’m feeling vulnerable and scared with two infections in my body neither of which seem responsive to antibiotics at the moment . Im
scared

I've got you @lisalisa

Sorry to hear you have these things to bear.

Put them all down right here, I'll keep them safe. You relax and get some sleep.

@FinallyHere those kind words made me well up thank you . I feel very vulnerable , in pain and scared right now . I need to wait up till 12 to have my antibiotics but it’s nice to feel that someone’s in the nightvwatch x thank you

This thread is incredible

Hello
can I please just drop off some related related worry- stresses for the night shift to hold so I can get some sleep? Thank you

@Waitymatey if you are not already asleep know that I’ve got your worries and that you can rest easy now. I’ve compressed all of your upset so that you need not think of it tonight.

@lisalisa here for the day shift but come back and update us . The night time is always the hardest when you are ill I think. I hope you have some improvement today .

It is ! I think it was started by a Mumsnet tee with a cancer diagnosis , I would love an update from her. It's been a real help to me at times , sometimes you just need to get your worries out in print and knowing other people are around is a bonus !

Thank you- I did manage to sleep, woke in the small hours then managed to sleep again. I hadn’t seen your update and actually awoke feeling as though all my worries had been compressed to a much smaller area of my brain- thank you 💐

I'm glad you got some rest @Waitymatey. It's amazing how leaving your worries here works so well!

What have I just found?? This thread is the most profound thing I have come across on the internet. What a spectacularly beautiful thing. Thank you to whoever started it and those who have been carrying it so far. I will be honoured to join you.

Welcome. It is great to have more worry holders on hand ❤️

@Northlights and anyone else around now . I have to go in almost certainly for IV antibiotics tomorrow as the infection is still spreading . I’m scared and too scared even to give this to the lovely night shift to hold . Can anyone talk to me ?

it's good they are going to give you IVs they will really get on top of things hopefully? Do you have to go in early ?

I'm awake. As my yoga teacher says, breathe in for 4 and out for 4. It's your count, its your breath. Perhaps walk in your mind to your favourite place (I like the beach . . ) in for 4 and out for 4

I'll hold your worry tonight so you can breathe and rest easy.

Thanks both of you . Stupid Google . I’ve discovered inflammatory breast cancer and now understand why they rushed me to ultrasound and wanted to don the biopsy there and then and see so worried about the spread .
my symptoms seem to fit exactly .
I can’t sleep . I’m crying and so frightened

We are here @lisalisa whether you can sense us or not. The whole lot of us. Holding you up

Thank you so much @FinallyHere - your user name is very fitting !
didn’t sleep very much at all last night and I’m now in hospital having IV antibiotics

Sounds as if you are where you need to be @lisalisa How you feeling?

@lisalisa hello - I hope you don't have to stay too long in hospital and you have everything you need to make you feel more comfortable. Sending love and light for some sleep tonight .

Thanks @Northlights x
if anyone’s around to chat that’d be lovely . Had my final dos of IV antibiotics tonight but can’t sleep . I miss my home and dh and children

Thank you @FinallyHere . I alternate between feeling very scared and more positive

I’m here @lisalisa. I think feeling scared is perfectly normal, but I can take a turn holding the fear and worry for a bit if you can let me.
