NC'd for this. I love my 12 month DD, but I don't want to be around her at the moment. I am so sleep deprived I keep nearly falling asleep at the wheel and crashing my car. She'll only nap for half an hour per day since starting nursery (her naps were great before this, and now they have gone to shit) and for 2 months straight she has been waking for the day at 4.30am, sometimes 5. I'm so sick of her sleep I walked out on her and DH today with just my keys, wishing I could go somewhere for a week on my own. DH has gone to the shops and she's in her cot fussing and banging and crying because she's so tired. She literally won't stop fussing with exhaustion. She won't sleep in the car or buggy either. I can't even bear to pick her up as I'm sick of her making me feel like this. The sleep deprivation is giving me awful anxiety and I can't bear it anymore. Can't afford a sleep consultant. Am at my wits end with her. Wondering if I should ask for an anti anxiety medication so I can cope with the sleep deprivation better. Has anyone ever tried it?
