I have also found that reading a book helps me to fall asleep. The only problem I have with that is that I tend to get into the book and I don't want to put it down. Then i end up all night reading and I'm still exhausted in the morning. So really the only way this helps me is if I'm at the end of the book already.

That makes perfect sense actually. I waited for the trouble to start through my whole pregnancy. I guess now i'm just wondering whats gonna happen now. Also I think It might be because my husband and i have decided to not have anymore children and maybe I am afraid to let go of my baby since i don't want to miss anything . I guess it really could be many things that cause this for me.

I'm on the Depo Prevera shot for birth control. I don't believe that is the cause of these problems though as I had these mood prior to taking this shot. It all started towards the 8th month of my pregnancy. I'm thinking maybe it is a hormonal imbalance. I just can't stand it because now my husband is walking on eggshells around me. I'm afraid this might start affecting our marriage if I don't get it under control. I think i will have to look into some self help books as I do not want to have to take a pill to make me happy. Thanks for the advice.

Actually no this was the one pregnancy I never had an issue with as opposed to the others that were high risk all the way through. He is a very healthy and happy baby and very content to just be. That's why i don't understand what is the problem with leaving him. I can leave him to go to work only if my husband has him. I feel that if I had to leave him anywhere other than at home with his daddy I would probably not go to work. As it is the whole time I'm working i text my husband to see how the baby is doing. Could it have to do with the past sneaking up on me maybe? In between my first and third pregnancys i lost a child at the 19 week mark of pregnancy. I think of that child often and miss him greatly. So I am just curious if maybe now i have developed a fear of loosing another child and having no control over the situation.

My moods over the past year are constantly changing. I can go from a great mood to upset within seconds for no reason. Sometimes I just want to cry and have no clue why. I get really stressed over little things and then become very aggravated by the fact that I'm stressed. Its also goes the other way to I can go from a really bad mood to happy and laughing with in a matter of minutes. I really don't understand these mood changes and it is starting to concern me.

When I lay down at night i can't seem to fall asleep. It doesn't matter how exhausted I am. All i do is lay there with my eyes closed while my brain continues to run laps. Thinking about everything I have done that day or need to accomplish the next day. It's very annoying I'm tired all the time because of this. It doesn't seem to ever stop. The only way I end up falling asleep is just because exhaustion overtakes me. Anyone else have this problem?

I have never had any type of problem associated with this before. Now all of the sudden I find myself checking my alarm clock on an average of 20 times before i can go to sleep at night. Then again I will check it randomly in the middle of the night when I wake up. If I don't do this until i feel comfortable that it is set right I can't fall asleep and start to panic. Is this a trait of OCD or just some random problem that will go away ? This has been happening every night for the past year.

Why do I continue to have these anxiety/panic attacks whenever I'm about to leave my 8 month old baby somewhere? It's not like he is my first child and I have been able to leave my other children with trust worthy people before with no problems. For some reason when I am about to leave him I panic, start thinking of anything and everything that could go wrong while I'm gone. It's driving me crazy because I just need a break and would love to be able to spend some time with my husband alone occasionally but can't due to this. Please can some help me to get past this issue?

My son is autistic and as of lately I have been noticing a lot of symptoms of ADHD. He has absolutely no attention span! When ever we sit him down to do something he likes to do he is back up doing something else within a minute or two. He has become very hyper. It is like he never stops going. I'm unsure if it's just his age (4 years) or if it could be some ADHD problems. If anyone has any input please get back to me. Thank you!
