Hi everyone, I am really in a dark place right now, I have a 3 months old baby that sleeps pretty well but I have been experiencing anxiety and insomnia. I have sleep 3 hours in the past 3 days and I am completely freaking out as I am scared to go insane and be unable to take care of my baby. I am so scared that I sleep less and less… or since recently none ! I didn’t even think that could be possible. Can I go insane from not sleeping? Thank you so much
Ground yourself… You need to remove yourself from that environment and chill out for a few hours at least. Can anyone watch the rugrat?
Look around you – is there a desperate emergency? There is no lion about to pounce upon you OR your baby. You are safe!
Hello Lrf and welcome to the forum. It makes completely sense that you would have the fear and anxiety you described — that comes from your mind doing its job and looking out for you!
To answer your question, there is no evidence that chronic insomnia causes any health problem whatsoever. It can definitely make living the life we want to live more difficult, but it cannot harm us — the body knows how to sleep, it will always generate the minimum amount of sleep we need (when given the opportunity), and it’s often all our understandable attempts to make sleep happen and to fight or avoid wakefulness and what we might think or feel that makes things a lot more difficult.
I hope there’s something helpful here and that things improve for you. You aren’t alone.
