Coping with sleep deprivation

How is everyone coping with lack of sleep? I feel like such a hermit but the lack of sleep is really getting to me. I go out for a long walk everyday with my daughter, but I can’t muster anything else. The lack of socialising is starting to get to me but my social battery is so low that the thought of going out and chatting with others just feels too much. Anyone else feel this way?! X

100% with you! I feel like the sleep deprivation is getting worse and worse! Even if I manage to get a fee 2 hour stretches in I feel like I haven't slept in months (well not far off) 😂 I go out for a walk everyday too but it ends up with me being more tired than before!x

Depending on your situation and your baby, cosleeping can help get longer stretches if you feel safe do so? Assuming not already. I start my daughter off in her next to me crib sometimes she’ll do a few hours then in with me for the night, still wakes a few time a bit a little cuddle gets her back down sometimes fees (EBF)
Hope you get some sleep soon x

I don’t know if makes sense to you but I got to feel guilty for sleeping during the day? Not anymore though and that was a game changer, now I have beautiful naps every other day cuddling my baby. Yes, it’s true you get less house chores done but I can say it’s worth it.

Yep, I can relate 100%!

Struggling

I’m sorry for the sad post but I’m honestly struggling so much and I feel so alone. I’ve tried to explain how I feel to my husband and mum but they don’t seem to get it. I have a 13 month old and I’m 4 months pregnant. I’m tired all the time, not happy in my marriage, put on so much weight and have absolutely no desire to do things. I’ve tried looking for a counsellor to talk to and just on the waitlist but I need to know it gets better. I feel like I’m stuck in a dark hole just pretending I’m okay to everyone my friends and family and work colleagues but I’m really really not.

In love with someone else

I’ve been with my partner for 3 years and we have a 2 year old. I got pregnant only 2 months after meeting him, we said let’s make it work. We have an ok relationship but there’s no emotional connection. He think it’s ok but I’ve expressed I’m not happy.

Recently an ex from 7 years ago just told me he’s still in love with me and he wants to peruse this again. I wasn’t expecting to feel all the things that I’m feeling and now I can’t stop thinking about the possibility of us together.

But I have a two year old. I feel like it’s selfish to even think about these things because I’d be taking away his home, his dad his normal. Do I just stay for the sake of my child? I mean my partner isn’t a horrible person we just aren’t in love or do I leave and explore this new connection with my ex? I’m so confused
