Carlos 0 Posted September 10, 2021 Might sound crazy but im Sooo in fear of being left home alone, my Mrs is leaving the country in a few days and I’m dreading it, I will be looking after my 2 daughters whilst she’s gone they are 3 and 4 and already I’m thinking - what if I can’t cope, what if I don’t get any sleep and I’m shattered the next day that I can’t do anything with them. What if they end hating me because of the way I am and my condition. This is wreaking my life and I need to snap out of this mind set - haven’t slept properly for about a week now constantly thinking about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug97 19 Posted September 19, 2021 Don't worry about the no sleep thing. I suffer from chronic insomnia, and I too worried about how awful the next day would be, but over the years I've slowly realised that actually I can do anything I need to do whether I've slept well or badly. At the very least, it's now one less thing to worry about! In fact, if anything, being sleep deprived helps calm my anxiety somewhat. My brain just doesn't have the energy to obsess and ruminate about the usual stupid crap because its reduced capacity is then fully occupied by the stuff that's important, i.e. whatever it is I need to actually get done that day.
