Insomnia - anyone else tonight

I was up late reading documents for work. Need about an hour to switch off but have to get up very early to do a report. Need to feel tired. Anyone else - what are you awake for?

I’m trying to build my milk supply up as I’m currently not making enough milk for my baby boy. So I’m pumping every 2-3 hours to tell my body to make more milk.

Bless you. I remember this many moons ago. I’m guessing you have already but Have you tried the list of foods/ supplements etc that boost supply? Vitamin A, D and calcium
foods: whole grains, protein, eggs, nuts and seeds etc
and massage / skin to skin to increase supply
youre Doing an amazing thing ♥️

I'm being blanked by my partner. I made a harmless judgement call, turned out to be wrong in their eyes, ot told "you f%cked up", but I'm probably going to be blanked for another week as normal until i beg for forgiveness. Been 24 hours already... that's my insomnia.

Same. We are doing counselling but he didn't like what I said in the session on Monday so I got a stream of angry messages at work yesterday.

I have spoken to work and can work from home today. I feel so guilty doing that as it's a stressful workplace. But also it's my safe space because people actually talk to me.
