Pregnancy nausea

Visiting MIL and she is being horrible to me. Can't sleep I'm so annoyed. 2flights, 2k, annual leave used to be given a lecture about what a shit Mother I am. Want to go home

Ds (4) thinks 2am is a perfect time to start his day. He is severely autistic and no concept of time/day and night and was being very loud (non verbal but lots of noises) so brought him downstairs. He’s lying on one sofa reading a book in the dark and I’m on the other dozing on and off.

Worrying about my teen dds damaged knee. She's seeing a consultant on Friday and I have a meeting with a really important client which I can't miss. Dd22 is going to take her but I feel really guilty about it. Also is obvious that it's very badly damaged. She has two horses and I have no idea what I am going to do with them for months while she rehabs.

So worry is keeping me awake basically!

grey12 · 12/08/2021 03:48

When DD2 wakes up in the middle of the night it takes one hour for her to go back to sleep. In the meantime I can't go to sleep.....

Anxiety about money worries and regret over the piss poor decisions I’ve made over the last five years. They have been significant and life changing. Such an idiot.

romdowa · 12/08/2021 03:50

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and have a sleep disorder anyway. Needing to use the loo woke me and my sleep disorder is now ensuring that I can't go back to sleep😪

AhCheeses · 12/08/2021 03:52

Both my boys have/had a stomach bug.
Big one is sleeping through for the first time in three nights, smallest one just woke me up to tell me he needs to poo but can't... then went back to bed 🙄 and I'm awake now.

Mummywantsaweewee · 12/08/2021 03:58

6 day old newborn refuses to sleep 😂😩 has been breastfeeding for hours.

UniversalAunt · 12/08/2021 04:00

Virtual hugs & cups of tea for those of you hurting.

I’m wide awake as my brain is racing.
Two sets of DNA results of my cousins came in just before bedtime, I thought unwisely that I’d just have a play with the clustering tools before I went to bed...
Five hours later, wide awaaaaaake😳. But have found two new distant cousins which is fun.

Need to sleep so will try a hot milky drink & an episode of the Archers, that usually works

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 12/08/2021 04:05

My period arrived unexpectedly. I am currently too crampy and furious to sleep.

I tried to occupy myself by doing my nails but my new nail polish is crap and I want to complain about it to anyone who will listen.

dutchyoriginal · 12/08/2021 04:06

need to hand in an assignment for a professional qualification later today, and have felt like a total imposter for the past few days when working on the written part. totally convinced I'm absolutely lousy at my work now (which of course isn't true), so got up early to work on it some more

dutchyoriginal · 12/08/2021 04:08

what color is it, @GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou? you can complain to me :-)

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 12/08/2021 04:15

I feel like such a dick after reading the thread and seeing people with real problems Dutchy. Blush

Of course you aren't lousy at your work. You are clearly marvelous!

The colour is cake batter Bare Yourself.

sanityisamyth · 12/08/2021 04:16

Insomnia :( I managed 4 hours of sleep though, which is quite good for me. If I'm lucky I'll get another 1 before my DS wakes up 🤞

grey12 · 12/08/2021 04:18

@dutchyoriginal

what color is it, *@GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou*? you can complain to me :-)
I started reading the other post and was wondering why the h*ll you'd ask about the colour of her period BlushGrinGrinGrin
GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 12/08/2021 04:22

Baha!

Dusky rouge?

IheartJKR · 12/08/2021 04:22

My MA dissertation is due in a couple of weeks. It’s on a really heavy subject and it’s totally overwhelming me.
I just want my life back.

Jessica60 · 12/08/2021 04:24

Bad cold, sore throat

NormanSicily · 12/08/2021 04:28

On holiday and a bit fed up with my bickering children and snoring husband. Think my hormones may be to blame but they are all pissing me off. Am sat in the living room listening to the thunderous snores emanating from DH and feeling murderous. Think I need a few hours to myself...

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 12/08/2021 04:30

Early afternoon here in "learning from home" lockdown land! Yay!
Such fun.

NOT.

MrsB2019x · 12/08/2021 04:33

3 day old DD has decided she doesn’t quite fancy sleep anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

allyouneedisconnection · 12/08/2021 04:37

Anxiety I think. I've woken with a headache. I've got a cardiology appointment today and my ds is going on holiday with his dad this week. Ds hasn't ever spent that long with his dad alone before.

Clumsyworker · 12/08/2021 04:37

I'm working from home on a project that's been so badly managed. What's been asked of me is impossible but I know I'll still get blamed if it fails.

Every night I think if I can just keep going all night I'll get caught up but I never do. Half the time I don't even end up working - I just end up sitting, panicking and procrastinating.

Sometime I'll lie down on the sofa for a moment and end up falling asleep and I don't wake up until 7,8 in the morning and then I hate myself.

I hate my life and constantly wonder why I'm such a failure.

Sorry but you did ask!
