Hello everyone! I have read through pages and pages on this forum since dealing with insomnia and it has given me hope and also a sense of belonging as I don’t know anyone in my personal life dealing with this.
My insomnia started after I stopped nursing my son at night and it has gone up and down for months. I thought I was getting better by using some of the tips such as getting up out of bed when tired and ditching all “sleep efforts” but there is no predictably when my anxiety attacks will come on which leave me with 0-2 hours of sleep, and I’m anxious every afternoon wondering if I will get no sleep. I’m wondering when you need to get professional help for your sleep or know if it’s a deeper issue such as hormonal? I can’t function and take care of my kids on 0 sleep several nights a week and I feel hopeless.If you feel you should get professional help, I would suggest talking to your doctor.
What you have described is difficult, but not unique or unusual. It sounds as though you are a bit tangled up in the same way that others with chronic insomnia are. In other words, you are a bit stuck right now — but you are NOT broken!

I hope there’s something useful here!
