Sleep

PND or pure exhaustion

Feel like I'm getting into a pickle. Dc2 is 10m and we've had an awful like recently teething/a cold then the heat wave and also separation anxiety as I've started working 1-2 days a week. Also have a nearly 4 yo.
Nights have been dreadful and I'm beyond exhausted. But not just not enjoying things I usually would. I'm not organised with preschool stuff/work stuff and generally just a bit vacant. Not able to maintain conversation, I've distanced muskeg recently from other mum friends. Just trying to gauge if this will pass or I have some other problem.
Sorry to sound so moany, just so sad and want my mojo back. Any insight appreciated
Tia

I was in a pretty dark place when my DC2 was 10 months old, that's all I can say. Exactly as you describe. Just inhabiting a different planet sort of. I don't know how it will be for you, but I suspect that when you're getting more sleep you will feel much, much, MUCH better. And when your dc starts eventually giving you a full night on a regular basis (whenever that will be) - christ, you won't know yourself Smile

Never underestimate what sleep deprivation does to your brain.
