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) Hmm

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.

@KDT27 that's fabulous news.

My tea party was a roaring success. Bakewell tart a big hit. Also, they drank all the champagne. 8 bottles. And all the tea. So much tea.

Today I am not hosting anyone, so send over your big or small worries. The sun is shining. I shall take a brisk walk, and they shall keep up or else.

Last day of the year. Arguably of the decade. Normally I would have just arrived to ring in the bells with my lovely mum. I shall raise a glass to her tonight. I hope she is dancing with my dad.

I’m busy with year-end work! Send your worries my way and they can help me close out the books.

Meanwhile, can someone take one of mine?

BadEyeBri · 31/12/2019 16:58

Hannah I can take your worry. It can be sat on and squished down to size by the lardy lurcher's arse.

BadEyeBri · 31/12/2019 16:58

Sorry Hanna no second H

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 31/12/2019 18:43

Good evening everyone.
I’m having a quiet night in tonight. So if anyone needs to send some worries my way they can sit in with me.
Wishing you all a happy new year Flowers

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 31/12/2019 18:48

Likewise. I’m in tonight and happy to take anyone’s worries off their hands to give them a peaceful evening c

NumbersStation · 31/12/2019 23:43

I can mind some worries.

I’m a bit of a bugger for the Pledge though. They might come back to you rubbed a little bit smaller and not as dark as before.

BearWoman · 31/12/2019 23:45

Hannah I will take yours... sleep tight... it’s sorted...

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 01/01/2020 00:12

Happy New Year all 🥂🍾
Happy to keep an eye on any worries that are knocking about.
Sleep well all

user764329056 · 01/01/2020 00:19

Thank you drama, I can take some on tonight if anyone needs to offload

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2020 01:22

Happy new year Worry Guardians all.

May all our worries be smaller in 2020.

dimsum123 · 01/01/2020 01:38

What a lovely thread.

Happy New Year all, I hope 2020 brings you peace, health and love.

I'm worried about DH. He's had a rare reaction to new medication which has caused awful debilitating symptoms. The doctors don't seem to know how to help him, it seems to be trial and error which I'm finding really scary, I want them to just say he's got X and we can treat it with Y.

I've been worried sick and can't sleep at night and it's the first thing I think of in the morning and all day tbh. Have been trying to stay upbeat for DHs sake as I don't want to pass on my anxiety to him, but keeping it all bottled up is making me ill, my stomach is in knots for most of the day.

Writing it all down helps, I just hope they find something that works soon. Sad

Hope everyone manages to get some rest tonight, even if sleep is elusive. xx

Love this thread, everyone needs a leg up sometimes. I know I did. Am happy to lend an ear if anyone needs one x

NumbersStation · 01/01/2020 01:47

I’ve got your worries tonight @dimsum123 so you can sleep peacefully

Thinking of you and your DH and may his meds be sorted soon.

Night night - May you sleep well Flowers

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2020 01:51

dimsum123 I will help NumbersStation take good care of your worries tonight while you sleep. I hope your DH is much better soon.

WildImaginings · 01/01/2020 01:55

I will be on a 13 hour flight from approx 11pm our time tonight (New Years day)
I won't sleep properly, despite diazepam, because of my insane flight induced anxiety (alongside the every day anxiety!)
If anyone would like me to mind their worries while they try to sleep, please let me know.
I'll check the thread before take off.

Kolo · 01/01/2020 02:04

@wildimaginings toss me a bit of your anxiety for your flight. You don't need to hold on to all of it. I'll keep some for you. Safe trip.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 01/01/2020 07:09

Happy new year to all of the fabulous Worry Guardians. May I just say that finding you all had given me such a sense of comfort? When the stinking worries rear their ugly heads I know what to do. Who to ask for help. It is a relief. Thank you all for being here ❤️

dimsum123 · 01/01/2020 09:31

@NumbersStation and @DramaAlpaca, thank you, I slept quite well last night. I just hope DH is better soon.

I hope everyone managed to get some rest and has a peaceful day.

FinallyHere · 01/01/2020 10:22

Happy New Year lovely people xx
