I am so overwhelmed!! My baby isn’t sleeping and I’ve got a raging headache and all this legal stuff is making me feel irritated and I just want to cry.
I absolutely hate the idea of letting him just cry while I take 5 seconds

It's so much easier said than done (I'm a velcro mama) but it is 1000000% OK to put your baby down somewhere safe and have a breather for a minute. Their head isn't going to fall off if you need a minute to go for a wee, or put some mascara on so you feel somewhat human. Give yourself some grace, put your own oxygen mask on before anyone else's and remember you grew a whole ass human and you are doing an incredible job 🌸

We're at the same stage as you 🤙🏻 the issue is that there is always going to be something to feel guilty over (at least I feel guilty for a lot most days) , but if you've done your best then that is good enough.
