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.

I’m here to take care of any worries that are causing you sleepless nights. Pass them over here and forget about them for as long as you need.

HannaYeah · 02/03/2020 01:42

Is it time for a new thread?

I’m here tonight if anyone needs me to mind their worries so they can rest. Watching tv, on couch with kitties.

singandwing · 02/03/2020 04:22

Really having problems here but since somebody outed me on this thread and told me IRL I'm no longer comfortable posting even with a new name.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 02/03/2020 05:13

Sorry to hear that @singandwing. This is a safe place. I'll hold onto your worries for now do that you can get some rest. Go sleep. It will be okay for tonight.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 03/03/2020 00:45

@singandwing I hope you feel ok to come here if you need. If you don’t feel able to post you can still leave your worries with us.
I’m here if you want to leave them tonight.

HannaYeah · 03/03/2020 00:58

@singandwing

One great thing about this thread is you don’t have to share details about your worries in order to have them picked up. I’ve mostly not told anyone here specifics about my own problems, but magically, the worry warriors still take them on and I get much needed peace.

We will hold yours tonight, no outing details required.

girlofthenorth · 03/03/2020 11:02

@NaomiFromMilkShake sorry I've been thread absent and missed you has started your radiotherapy . Do hope you are feeling ok Thanks

I can take worries on my travels today and they can blow way in the sunshine .

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 03/03/2020 23:21

I’m signing in, alongside my little furry shadow. Here to take care of any of your worries for you. Just pop them down at the end of the bed and you can sleep peacefully while the cat guards them for you.

anon2020202020 · 03/03/2020 23:29

I'm worried

HannaYeah · 04/03/2020 01:07

I’m here, anon. I’ll take your worry and it can keep company with my sadness. It will be okay for tonight.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 04/03/2020 03:20

@HannaYeah i am happy to carry some of your sadness tonight, if you'd like. It will feel quite at home with me. I will hold it tenderly, knowing most sadness requires love first ❤️

SpeedofaSloth · 04/03/2020 03:27

Also here.
I will take your worries, maybe you could take mine off me for a few minutes too. They probably won't look so bad from a little way away.

Blackbear19 · 04/03/2020 03:32

Can somebody take mine. My hearts pounding and stomach churning.
Every time I shut my eyes all I can see is his injured finger. Hospital tomorrow to fix it properly.

SpeedofaSloth · 04/03/2020 03:35

Got them Smile

Blackbear19 · 04/03/2020 03:38

Thank you.
The tearing are now flowing maybe I just need a good cry

2018SoFarSoGreat · 04/03/2020 05:50

I've got you @SpeedofaSloth. You just close your eyes and let the world be for now. Shhhh. That's it. Sleep. All is well for now.

Blackbear19 · 04/03/2020 09:23

Hope your ok Sloth. I've never used this thread before. Was strangely comforting last night.

SpeedofaSloth · 04/03/2020 15:05

Thank you, it really helped x

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 06/03/2020 22:49

I’m signing in for the night watch, any worries, niggles or stresses that need minding for the night can be tucked up in the bed with me and the cat. Pass them over then sleep well.

Blackbear19 · 06/03/2020 23:47

What a sweet thing to do Pottery.
My worries are all taken care of. LO's finger patched back together. Bandages will come off next week.

I'm able to take anybody else's worries tonight too.

HannaYeah · 07/03/2020 13:06

@Blackbear19 so glad your LO’s ginger is on the mend.

I’m here for the day if anyone needs their worries minded. I have a hair appt and the salon always has fun people chatting about interesting things. Worries can come along and be distracted.

HannaYeah · 07/03/2020 13:06

Finger! Not ginger!
