I've been sleep deprived with 3 month old going through a sleep regression.
In the last week I read someone accidentally harmed their child (for example, broke their arm but it was detailing how it happened) then dreamt about it as if I'd done it and when I woke up I felt really emotional and couldn't remember if I'd actually done it or it was a dream.
Watched a tv series I usually watch during a night feed and a scene came on that was quite scary. All of a sudden I felt a wave of strong emotion like I needed to cry. It felt like dread mixed with sadness and anxiety all at once (kind of intense like if you felt like a sneeze was coming) and it got so bad I was hyperventilating, until I turned it off and had a breather.
Is this just sleep deprivation or should I speak to someone?
