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.

I haven’t slept properly for ages . Trying to divorce a bullying ex whilst trying to make sure my little ones don’t get affected too much . Holding a narcissistic and dangerous mother at bay too .
Would be wonderful to know that someone could hold onto this lot so I can try to get some sleep tonight ?

Best wishes for your daughter @Muir23 💐

@HannahYeah - snow? Eeeee.

We have hail but snow is forecast for Wednesday - it can stay away!

Hope you are cosy

I’m also signing in for worry watching duty. Pop them on the bed with me and the cat and we’ll snuggle them into submission. He’s sitting on my shoulder and purring in my ear in anticipation.

LisaLisa, we’ve got it! Try to sleep tonight, I’m sure you need it.

I found this thread by accident. It is a wonderful idea and it is MN at it's best. X

Ah, the feline worrybotherer is on duty! Your worries will be whizzied round that much they won’t know they are worries any more 😊

Sleep well to all those who need sleep 💐

Thank you @Hannayeah and @Numbersstation. Lovely thread x

Hello lovely guardians. Here i am, signing on for the evening. if anyone needs me (well, my afternoon but you know what I mean. I like to think of it as being on the WG Backshift :)

I'm taking one of my staff for champagne to celebrate an anniversary, so hurry up if you want your worry to come along - nothing like drowning in bubbles to keep these pesky critters silenced.

Don’t waste your bubbly on a worry! Pop it in soda water. It won’t know the difference but you will

Have a lovely celebration @2018SoFarSoGreat

I’m struggling tonight. My DM has decided to stop chemotherapy and opt for a better quality for the time she’s got left. It’s the beginning of the end and I’m struggling.

such a beautiful thread. I'm worried my dear ds will not recover from the horrendous amount of trauma he's experienced. So much and so bad that it has quite literally paralysed him. And I'm worried that my mental health will never recover from the same trauma and the trauma of him being so badly affected. I feel like my heart is being ripped into pieces.

I’m sorry to hear what you are going through Tida and colouring. Please do lay those troubles here just until morning if you can and see if you can get some sleep. Sending you both a virtual hug each

I'll help you out with those worries

I’m unable to sleep and I don’t even know what is bothering me. I went back to work after Christmas yesterday and I’m unhappy in my job, so that’s probably it.

I believe we have created one of the best spaces on the Internet.

I literally picture myself “babysitting” worries. And it’s odd because I don’t mind having them with me; they aren’t terrible as guests like they are when we’ve conceived them ourselves, so to speak.

I like to imagine that when they go back to their owner they are better behaved, less worrisome and not so much trouble.

@myidentitymycrisis

I’m kind of struggling about my job lately, also. Like you, I’m not sure really what I think. So send that here and we can merge the concerns and hopefully soon sort it all out for both of us.

once, betty ❤

Hanna totally x a million.

Kindness itself.

@TidaQuel

I’m sorry to hear about your Mum. I went through that with my Grandad. It took me a long time to come to terms with his decidion.

I can hold onto your worry for you. 🌷

I’ve got broad shoulders and a good back, I’m more than happy to carry some burdens.
Pass them over here please.

I've had my bubbly and have all these worries for tonight. Don't you fret. They shall go in my lovely new backpack and be quiet.

Sleep now. It's OK.

I've popped them on my favourite cushion, they might get squashed by a cat or two but I'll do my best

Hello everyone, may I join you?

I'm awake and won't sleep now due to worrying about sleeping through the alarms I've set. I'm awake due to everything else I'm worried about!
So I've decided to book one of those minibus taxis to put my worries in and there is most certainly room for lots of other worries too. I'll just send them off for a wee drive into London and over every bridge over the Thames. Those worries will be soothed by the sunrise from London Bridge (round the corner from a sleeping student DD)

I think this is very possibly the loveliest thing I've seen on t'interweb. My pillow is definitely rather damp after reading it all the way through just now. So many kind, kind women out there .

So, everyone line up as the taxi's here. There's room for all. And if anyone needs me to have their worries a bit longer I'll get the taxi driver to buy them all overpriced English breakfasts at a service station.

I'll come back with my worries tomorrow but in the meantime I'm going to make a cup of tea, have some toast and marmalade and watch Spinning Out on Netflix.

Sending love and strength to all who needs them.

@hoofwankingspanglecunt

Yes! You are welcome and that’s the perfect plan!

I can't even cuddle Velcro Dog as he's had his monthly flea prevention drops today and he doesn't understand why I'm not rubbing his tummy and letting him try to kiss me.
I've settled on allowing him to drape himself over my leg. He is such a sweethearted little creature.
