Sorry if this sounds absolutely melodramatic saying that I feel suicidal but honestly my sleep is ruining my life so much so that sometimes I don't think I can cope.

Since having my baby I have developed teeth grinding. I've never done this before. I put it down to stress of s new baby and broken sleep.

Nearly 2 years on, things haven't improved. I wake up utterly exhausted. I can't think. It feels like I haven't slept at all. I have awful headaches and a really sore neck. I am constantly tired and can't get anything done. I'm not myself anymore and even dh has noticed that I'm not my usual happy self i used to be. I'm becoming depressed because my lack of sleep is getting me so down. It affects so many areas of my life.

I'm even worried that if I catch covid I will get it quite badly because my immune system is now weak and I constantly feel run down. I can't live like this anymore.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.

Take care
Flowers
