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.

Thanks for the Numbers A problem shared, as they say... We've got this one between us.

Oh Crusty. We’ve got you too.

I’m sorry about your mum. I’m sorry you are anxious about work. But please try not to feel guilty about popping the wee one in the nursery. You are doing what you have to do and she will be fine.

Now sleep sweetheart. You are cradled in our thoughts and best wishes. And I’m not huggy but here is one ( ) because you maybe need one

Crustyjugglers I cross posted with you there. Firstly, have a I'm so sorry about your mum, that must be so hard

Try not to worry about your baby, she'll be fine in nursery honestly, but I understand how hard it is to leave her. It's a huge wrench, I remember it well. As for work, try not to worry about that either. Being demoted is shit - are they even allowed to do that? - but take your time settling back into work, then work your way up again. You can do it.

In the meantime, Team Worry Guardians are here to mind your worries while you get some sleep

Haha, Numbers, I'm not particularly huggy either but sometimes you just know when someone needs one. And Crusty has just had one from both of us.

And you have just given her a lovely, warm and sensible post. If I ever need it, please be my cheerleader. I never know what to say and sometimes it comes out a bit wrong but it is all meant in the best way.

Thank heavens you are on duty - Crusty has had her brow well and truly soothed by you

Aww thanks Numbers I was thinking the same about you actually, that you seem to know just the right thing to say and that it comes across really well.

Anyway, I'm off to sleep now with a big bundle of worries that I will do my very best to squash overnight. Sweet dreams all.

Night night drama and goodnight to all. x

This is a nice thread. I am awake worrying about my divorce.

The courts won’t sign off what we have agreed financially and I think I am going to have to sell my home.

I have been holding it together for a year. Right now I have had enough if it all 😞.

It’s only a house, I know that, but I didn’t want to have to disrupt DC and don’t feel up to the stress of moving/organising/packing and everything that goes with downsizing with a full time stressful job, university course and looking after emotionally fragile DC.

Delightful I can take that off you for now. I’m fuming at my DH over a stupid thing so lying here awake anyway and need something more important to think about.

I just took your worries for a dog walk, @Crustyjugglers @DelightfulBox and @HannaYeah. The birds are actually singing now in the morning, so I threw them in the wind and then the birds started singing, it was quite nice. If I’m not here in the night, just leave them here, I’ll pick them up in the morning when the mop needs her walk (I really do have a dog that looks like a mop).
It will all be alright. Enjoy your Saturdays and steal a nap when you can :)

What a beautiful beautiful thread. I was awake last night at stupid oclock because dh was snoring and started reading. It lulled me to sleep with the thought of all these beautiful women, with their own worries and sleeplessness popping someone elses worries into their pockets and minding them.

for you all.

Thank you all - so kind. @NaomiFromMilkShake best wishes to you.

Right my strep throat is receding, but I am still staying in bed and reading and popping ABs and painkillers, but I am here to take anyone else worries if they want to go back to bed for a snooze.

This is such a lovely thread. Thank you for starting it.

I read it last night and didn’t post but I eventually got some sleep after I had given up.

I have left an abusive relationship and my ex has told me he knows where I have moved to and wants to see our baby.

@Siablue

I’m at work and can mind your worries so that you can get rest. I’m hoping someone else can come along to give you some pointers about your ex and visitation. You must be beside yourself.

I’ve had the abusive ex though and understand that only too well.

Goodnight and sweet dreams flower. I shall sit on your worries for you

NumberStation Thank you. I have had some advice on another thread and I also have a solicitor but I am just really striwith sleep.

I hope everything is ok for you now.

What an absolutely lovely thread. I'm going to bed now but will check in again in the morning to see if there are any worries that I can take the burden for, for anyone.

It was a long time ago Sia. All good apart from the odd nightmare.

Good to hear you’ve had advice and have a solicitor.

Consider yourself tucked in and I hope you manage to get a good sleep. Things always seem slightly less bleak with the morning.

Goodnight godbless

Hello everyone , I'm back with my usual health worries, been ok for a few days but fed up of ( resolving !) chest infection and my DF has been so poorly , it's making me scared for me and my loved ones. I hate my health anxiety and wish I could get it under control.

@NaomifromMilshake sorry to hear you have been ill. I'll be up to hold any worries whilst I read in bed , for a bit. Then can I leave mine here ?

Good evening everyone. Me and the cat, who’s being a little shit at the moment, are here to help with any worry sitting that needs doing.
I hope you all have a peaceful sleep.

@girlofthenorth

Rest easy lass. I’ve got them once you want to settle into your pillow. I hope you and your DF feel better soon. Worries about the health of your loved ones is completely understandable. But you need to get well and for that you need a decent sleep. I might kick a wee ball of worry over to the naughty cat to play with if @GenuineLlatchianPottery is up for watching it go whizzy.

Goodnight flower 💐

Klatchian

Sorry - fat thumb.

I'm sobbing at this thread..

Tissue and cocoa required immediately please for @rnamechangesixty
