Can’t sleep

[ZED55JAX0]

Please help
ive had a baby 8 week ago and suddenly I was thinking about” what if I can’t sleep” and this thoughts kept coming until guess what! I can’t sleep! every time I try!
I’m in such a state keep crying and so weak I feel worthless and useless I can’t even sleep anymore and look after my family I don’t know what to do I feel anxious sad and on edge
do I need to be admitted to hospital is there actually anything they can do or that will help? I feel I’m stuck in mind hell , all alone with no hope

Have you spoke to your GP. Have you had your 8 week check as could mention it then

Please please speak to your GP.
Do you have anyone around you that you can talk to?

I just feel that there’s no help and nothing that would work! I have 8 week check on Friday

What is causing to make you think you cannot sleep. Are you anxious about baby?

No the thought of not sleeping is causing me to not sleep I tried a sertraline tablet and had brain like zaps all night when trying to sleep plus anxiety panic attacks I just can’t carry on

So the doctors are aware of how you are feeling if you have been prescribed sertraline? Do you take it daily cos if you don’t it won’t have the same effect
if it’s only the thought of not sleeping that is causing it look into sleep hygiene. It may help you get a bit of a routine and find things that help you relax before you sleep.
