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.

@lisalisa I'll hold your worries this evening . Did you manage to get home yet ?

Can someone hold my worries for me? I've got four major deadlines, a solicitor appointment, family coming to stay this week. I'm also very depressed 😔.

I'm here and happy to hold them. It sounds like you're carrying a huge load right now, I'm sorry.

For now, just try to cuddle in, shut your eyes, and sleep. No pesky worries will disturb you tonight.

@2018SoFarSoGreat bless you.

God. That choked me up @2018SoFarSoGreat

I'm @Cubangal . Do you need to leave your worries with us tonight? If so, we've got you.

Just let them go. That's it. Drop them right here. Now you just go rest. It's ok. Just rest. We've got you.

I mean I'm here!

Can I pop all my health problems here for the night.

@namechangeanonymous absolutely. Gather them up and let them go right over here. That's it. Every one.

Now you just go get some rest. It's ok for now. I'm sure there are several of us here watching carefully to make sure your worries stay quiet for tonight. You just rest.

Another sleepless night - is anyone around to hold my health worries for the next few hours?

I'm here, @SquirrelFan. I'll hold these pesky worries so that you can rest. It's ok. You just shut your eyes ands cuddle in. It's ok to sleep, go on.

I'm struggling tonight, trying to work when it really recovered from something , have to work in the morning and so tired, just can't go to sleep. Worrying is keeping me awake . Can anyone take my worries tonight , just so I can get a few hours?

@Northlights I'll hold them for you, it's ok. You just cosy in and get some rest. You can leave all of this worry right here. Sleep well.

Please can someone give me a handhold and hold my fears so I can get some rest. My DH had a skiing accident on Wednesday afternoon and has been unconscious ever since. He hit his head hard (had helmet on) and went unconscious so they sedated and intubated him. He's in the ICU in a French hospital. The CT scan from this afternoon shows no change since yesterday so that's good apparently (it does show some small bleeds on brain but apparently as they're small that can be ok and just something which will heal). He today showing a bit of a lung infection so they're not going to try and wake him up until that goes down so probably a few days before we know if he will wake up, and how that will be. I am completely terrified, I just need him to come back to me. The hospital seems excellent and I can see he's in the best care, but I'm here now on my own and so scared.

That is really scary, I'm so sorry. It does sound like he's in good hands, which is a blessing indeed!

I'll hold this fear and worry for tonight. You just snuggle up and leave it right here. It's okay, for tonight you can just be.

Thank you so much.

Wow Lemony... that sounds so stressful and scary. Sending good wishes for your DH 💐 Sleep tonight. We've got these worries for you.

Thank you so much. I may call on you again tonight as I find the idea of this night shift and you holding our worries and fears enormously comforting. It's still early days and the proof will be when it comes to trying to wake him up, but for now he's stable and somewhat improved from yesterday so we hold on to that and hope.

@Lemonyfuckit one or more of us will always be here to sit, wait, watch or wrestle with your worries 💤

Thank you, you're so kind 🙏

Hello, can I leave my bullying manager here with you please. Her behaviour is driving me to despair and the hurt is constant and feels physical. Thank you

Consider it done. You just go cozy in and get some sleep. We shall hold that bully for tonight, and there will be no nonsense. You just rest now.

Thank you- this thread is amazing. As soon as wrote it I felt some relief, I don’t know how you all do it but I am so grateful that you do. Thank you

What a beautiful & long running thread, @2018SoFarSoGreat Thank you for being so thoughtful.
I often think of this thread and recommend to friends who might be struggling.

I'm awake at this early hour as I had a medical procedure done yesterday & the cramps are reminding me about it, so I'm just about to pop downstairs to make some tea & toast (and take some tablets). I'm here if anyone needs to leave their worries so they can get some rest.

@Lemonyfuckit I hope DH is on the mend and you are back home. Thinking of you.
@Waitymatey I hope sleep has found you & wrapped you up tightly so that you can rest your mind & body.
