Insomnia or etomophobia friends - help me get through today and not catastrophize about this

[BeckyBendyLegs]

I've had the worst night's sleep for about 18 months, I had about 1/2 hour proper sleep and other than that just dozing. DS2 had a bit of a tummy upset last night, and DH is off to Berlin today for 8 nights. DS2 woke up crying four times last night. I was a ball of anxiety, almost had a panic attack at 2am. Dreading DH going, his parents are in Italy on their hols, so I have no family to help if the worst comes to the worst. My mum is too old really and I wouldn't want her to pick up anything. DS2 seems much better today, off school, but I am soooo tired today :(

I just need someone to tell me that it'll be fine, DS2 is probably fine anyway, and I'll sleep tonight (and so will he, and the other DSs).

Hi becky so sorry I didn't see this yesterday. How was last night? Did you have a better night?

I hope DS is feeling better now.

It's always worse when DH is away IME. I find the sense of responsibility quite daunting when on my own.

Hope today was better. xxx
