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.

or as a dangly thing

I read that as a dangly thong

I feel a bit cheeky as I haven't been on this thread in a while, but I hope it's ok to leave a couple of worries here? I know they are in capable hands ❤️ (and paws!)

I got you SamVimesFavouriteDragon (AKA Errol) sleep tight.

I'm so glad you had a decent night flirting, I like this thread, you don't have to look far to find kindness. @NumbersStation I hope your shift whizzes by!

Lord my grammar, too not to!

The eternal insomniac reporting in for duty here. My eyes? Oh, that must be hayfever, or eye strain reading this wonderful thread so late or, or, or something. Tears? As if!

She who rules the house is keeping me company tonight. Please feel free to dump your worries, big or small, with us and we'll mind them while you sleep. I've been where some of you are now, waiting for diagnoses, for test results, for treatment, wide awake in the darkest hours.

It's time for me to repay some kindnesses.

I was trying to show you the ruler of the house, she who must be obeyed, who's here to guard worries with me. Technology has other ideas.

Suffice to say that she's small, calico, furry and purry!

I have one of those Martini, for some reason she chooses me to wake up at 4.30 am every. single. morning. Never dh though. I like to think it's because I'm her favourite, it's not it's because he is!

It's good that you know your place, QueenOfIce! 😆

I got 4 hours sleep...4 hours! Admittedly I had to be in a fully sitting position (palpitations kick in if I try anything less than a 90 degree angle to the bed - very strange) but it's better than nothing! DH took charge at about 1.30 by making us both a hot drink, turning the tv on so I wasn't staring into space and just panicking more and more and brushing my hair (my favourite thing in the world) until I was super sleepy. He's a goodun.

Thanks so much MrsTP ❤️ I'm only just getting up now, so actually got a good bit of sleep after dropping off my worries here! If anybody needs theirs taking on, I'm your girl (or dragon!) I'm feeling so much better for the sleep, those worries are safe with me x

Nearly done not shock but a yawn.

The shift was indeed whizzy thankfully.

Have a lovely day/night wherever you are

I hope everyone is ok tonight? For those who need their worries guarding tonight send them my way. Me and the furry demon masquerading as a cat will keep them under control for you.
Sleep well lovely people.

Naomi here

Did the stupid Baileys thing again, now wide awake.

Bring your worries over here, I would appear to be here for sometime to come.

I have space for some worries here tonight if anyone wants to send them.

It was my birthday today thankfully it's nearly over as it was the worst one I've had

I’m sorry @bettybattenburg.
Glad for you that’s it’s come to a close.

Signing in for guard duty.
Havelock is in a cuddly mood tonight so drop your worries at the end of the bed and we will soothe them while you sleep.

Wafting around in a cloud of germ.

Still, nearly three bells and all is well.

Huge worries
Don't know how to cope
I have no future

Up since 3, same as anxious, am in such a dark place, so scared about the future.

@anxiousmnerand @nearlynermal i am here to hold your worries.

Sorry you are both in a bad place right now. Let me just lift the worries so that you can get some rest. Things may look brighter in the morning.

Sending hugs and gentle pats. Shhhh now. Just let them go.

@anxiousmner that was meant for you. Hope you are resting now.

Feeling calmer despite a hospital rush for a sick relative. thanks.

@anxiousmner and @nearlynermal

I’m sorry that you are floundering in troubles. Life can be totally overwhelming sometimes. But rest assured flowers you have a future. You may have a few paces to go until you find yourself in the light but a future is there for you.

I hope you managed to have a sleep as things always feel more bleak when you are exhausted. We are here if you need to talk or you need someone to carry the load when @2018SoFarSoGreat needs a wee rest.

Hugs to you both.
