To say I bloody hate nights like this

[wydeawake]

Wake ups at 11, midnight (after which I couldn’t get to sleep until gone 1) and now we’re wide awake and happy at 420 😫😫

(We aren’t: we’ll go back to sleep - in my bed - at around half five,)

Timing impeccable as I’m back at work Monday.

Well I do to, but I'm probably awake for a different reason to you. Wide awake with a migraine so can't sleep. I've taken drugs so it's not bad enough that I can't distant myself with something like mumsnet. But it's painful enough that if I turn the light out I can't sleep.

My son just told me he's trans?! WTAF!! I'm so effin scared of what the future brings!

Thoughts to you all for different reasons.
Mine is period pain and back to school Monday (teacher).

I think thay depends on how old he is, weather to be to worried (thats isn't the right word but my brain cant think straight right now so can't find anything better) about it.

I don't believe most young people really fully know until they are older as the brain is still developing. He may not change his mind, but all you can do is be supportive.

I hear you. I start back on Monday after maternity leave too. My baby has a temp - I think I've slept for about 90 mins so far.

@pheonixrebirth I bet your mind is going 100 miles an hour.

Well, thanks @seven201 , at least someone answered me 😩

Anyway it would seem she is awake for the day.

I wish I hadn’t had her

was my life just too straightforward before or something

@wydeawake .be careful what you wish for.
@pheonixrebirth ...he told you.(No experience,no judgement,from me) Except,you are the adult in this. Education n Information is absolutely vital.try to process/find support for you initially.xx
I'm here,cos the pain in my leg is agonknee. Off the scale,dogs lay on top of it n heat n weight is creating a different feeling,but,I really need something that eliminate s all pain
We've snuck in ds2s (14)bed(massive king size ) he came home off week long school trip tonight and even after all.he always be my baby n I'm so happy just to lay here grinning at his sleeping wee face.

Sorry, I didn’t read the desperate tone in your first post. Just thought it was a chat type thing. Do friends and family know you are struggling? I know health visitors get a bad rep but some are great - can you talk to them? Or was it just you venting in the night and you’re usually ok? Mine is a shit sleeper - sleep makes such a massive difference.

@wydeawake my first was a shit sleeper to, it is hard are there is nothing worse then no sleep. But trust me they do grow out of it.

@wydeawake lack of sleep is really, really hard and can plunge you into very dark places (ask me how I know..). Are you a teacher because you say back to work Monday?
Please reach out to someone; you sound desperate. Do you have PND, possibly?
