Can’t sleep

The past two nights my little ones couldn’t sleep so I stayed awake too. When I finally fell asleep I can’t waking up. Tonight they finally fell asleep at a decent hour and I can’t seem to fall asleep. Took anxiety medicine and not helping. Been crying and my nose is stopped up. My aunt died and my husband is a selfish jerk. And I’m just so tired

Hi fallen_leaf,

I am so sorry about your aunt !

My mom had a heart attack overseas last December and my husband didn't give me any emotional support. Believe , I know how you feel !

Try to just lay down and relax, sometimes a shower or some tea is helpful ! I usually spend some time alone ( watching a tv show) after my kids /husband go to sleep so I can recharge . Specially during the school year or when I am stressed out.

It is not easy to cope after a loved one dies, be kind to your self 💗

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you soon will be able to rest. I know how hard and tired it can be especially with little ones. As I type this my little one is waking up even though it's the middle of the night. I have to much on my mind to sleep tonight. I'm dealing with my own selfish husband.
