Would I be unreasonable to ask DH to come rescue me?

I am currently trying to deal with a family situation. This has involved me having to travel nearly 300 miles to where my family is. I travelled down today and am staying with a friend as I've to attend an appointment at 10am tomorrow.
My plan was to drive down and stay overnight and drive back after the meeting tomorrow (well, today).
I am currently wide awake. I cannot switch off thinking about this meeting (I didn't think it would be this bad).
I don't feel like it will be safe to make the journey home but I cannot stay over again. So I am considering asking DH in the morning if he could get the day off (his works pretty flexible) to get a train down and drive us back in my car?
I feel incredibly cheeky (probably not helping the not sleeping wondering how the fuck I'll get home safely) but I feel it's my only option.

Hope the meeting goes well. Funnily enough, I'm 300 miles away from home and I have to get back by tonight, I've had very little sleep. I'm planning to drive as far as I can but, if I get droopy, I'm going to pull into a services and nap. If I can't sleep, then a walk in the cold and a coffee will see me further down the motorway. If I start drooping again, I'll do the same thing. Upbeat music and an open window helps. Also, try and clear your mind and focus that every mile you drive, is a mile closer to home.

Good luck!

Ps. Try and set off as early as you can, driving in the dark is tiring. I'm currently still in my pj's - I'd better hustle and get off Mumsnet and move it myself.

If I needed my dh’s help and support I would ask for it. That’s what having a significant other is about imo

I think my DP would tell me to fuck off if I asked him to do that! I think it's quite UR, sorry.
