It is one o clock in the morning, I need the night shift to mind my worries whilst I sleep....

[NaomiFromMilkShake]

I am 50% of the way through chemo. (second time around)(different primary)

My DS (18) has just been diagnosed with depression I think me being diagnosed again was the tipping point.

Due to above I am having to delegate Christmas, it will get done, it did before just not my way.

DH retiring in three years, should be more than enough to live on, but at the moment I am worrying (Like I couldn't worry about that closer to the time)

Sausage rolls, my job, ditto mince pies.........if they don't happen my DH and my DS will suck it up. Just me worrying.

DS struggling in college and have to go to a meeting on Wednesday

So if some of the night shift would like to come and mind my ,worries whilst I attempt to sleep, it would be gratefully received.

Feel free to add your own, just writing that down has helped.

Hi all I can hide some worries on the sofa for a couple of hours if anyone needs it tonight - they can snuggle under the duvet as I watch some films and eat chocolate's. But then please can someone take mine so I can sleep tonight? My DF has been admitted to hospital . I am so worried. At home now with my family and feel guilty he is there .

I need to sleep I'm so exhausted so if anyone could oblige later I would be eternally grateful.

I'll be up for a few hours yet so you go and sleep and I'll mind your DF worries

I'll take you worries. My life us really smooth at the moment but I remember months of insomnia due to horrible things happening in my life years ago. Hand them over and I'll pop them on the top shelf of my cupboard under the stairs for the night while you get some sleep. Sleep tight and merry Christmas xx

Signing in for the night worries.
Hand em over, I can stick them on a boil wash and see if we can shrink them down if you want?
Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you have a restful night.

DH recovering from radiotherapy for throat tumour. Just had feeding tube removed this week. Yay! Still can only eat small amounts of some foods.
Christmas Eve at his mum's. Didn't go well. DH over tired, over emotional. Upset kids. Came home went to bed 7pm.
Feel like tomorrow will be looong day.

GoDasher you go get some rest. I've got you for a few hours. Just setting in for the evening with cocoa and cognac. They will be fine right here.

Here to mind the night worries

thanks all for holding my worries . I'm glad if they have been shrunk in the wash as can shove them in with the veg peelings or wrapping paper. I'm hoping then some of mine can go forever in the recycling .
GoDasher hope you got some rest and good luck for your day . Feeling the same .
Wishes you all festive wishes and hope the day goes well .

If anyone has any worries that need minding, they can snuggle up with me for the night.

I’m here and had a Christmas nap! I can take some worries for a spell.

Any worries need minding? I’ve been training the cat to stalk them. He’s getting quite adept at catching and subduing them.
Sleep well. Havelock is snuggled up sending loud healing purrs to anyone who needs them.

Checking in for the night shift. I had a little disco nap this afternoon so I can mind some worries while I watch Dolly Parton! I hope you can all get some rest tonight. Christmas day can be really stressful for some. Rest up and sleep well folks.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery you can have one of mine if you like. Stepson related.

Hand it over @HannaYeah.
I’ll chuck it at the end of the bed for the cat.
He may well have eaten it by morning.
Snuggle down and sleep peacefully.

@GenuineKlatchianPottery

Thank you so much! This morning I had to try hard to remember what worry it was I sent to you! I thought, “Oh right. Well I don’t need to worry about that any more as nothing I can do about it!”

This thread has been one of the loveliest things about this holiday season.

Thank you MNetters.

I've loved this thread ❤️ I'm also loving that your cat is called Havelock, GenuineKlatchianPottery

@SamVimesFavouriteDragon Well, he is an absolute tyrant

I’m here to take any worries for the night.
Pop them in a bag and send them in this direction.

My worries about my dd and my dp not getting along and I’m stuck in the middle. There’s a lot to it and a lot of people involved including my mum and dad. My dd lives with her dad because I suffered with depression after the birth of my second child and she went to go and stay with my parents for a while but she decided she wanted to live with her dad so here we are. She said something to her dad last night about my dp saying something about my mum and dad who I no longer have contact with. Basically saying that they chose her over my other 2 children that’s why we fell out but it wasn’t him that said it it was me. So her dad was in the phone to me threatening my dp. Now dp doesn’t want anything to do with dd and feels as though she’s dropped him in the shit. And here I am stuck in the middle of it all

That sounds so tough for you! I'm here for those worries, they will be rocked down in a quiet room with my little boy

I am here to take worries.

Tomorrow I go for my third session of chemo, that makes me 75% of the way done.

You would think I would be worrying, but after last nights dreams where they were chasing me around Dublin, offering me end of life morphine, tonight can only be an improvement. This treatment is only for a 3% chance of reoccurence. So how mental were those dreams ?

So park them here, I will possibly check in overnight, but I will surface and be thinking of you all.

Good luck for tomorrow @NaomiFromMilkShake

The cat is on high alert waiting for any worries anyone might want to throw his way.
Good night and sleep peacefully everyone.

Good luck @NaomiFromMilkShake . Hope you have a good nights sleep tonight .

I can't sleep for some reason - coughing a lot tonight . But also worrying I think about my DF coming home from hospital.

Maybe I could leave them here for a bit ?

Good luck tomorrow @NaomiFromMilkShake. That's three quarters of the way. You've got this.

@girlofthenorth I've got you. Just cuddle in your cozy bed. Your worries are fine right here with me and the worlds laziest cat.
