Find Help in Your Sleepless Haze

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and Im suffering from pregnancy insomnia. I desperately need help. Any tips?

Im miserable. I am up all night Im stressed and anxious throughout the day but the most at night when my body shuts off my mind NEVER will. Im worried that I will be so exausted from not sleeping by the time my baby arrives that I won’t be able to handel it.

What excuses have your heard over the years for your partners lack of sex drive?

Over the last 5 years, i think i’ve heard it all: headaches, menopause, tired, insomnia, apnea, too hot, too cold, hungry, not hungy, you name it.
the most recent of which was this: ” well, you going to the bathroom 20 minutes ago totally turned me off…” WTF? this was the same woman that used to oral back there…

What whoppers have you heard and why do they do this?

perimenopause at 35?

I think I am going through perimenopause. Since I had my daughter 2 years ago, my body seems to be all out of whack. I had a terrible post partum depression (complete with panick attacks and 24 hour anxiety) that lasted over a year. In August the anxiety and panick hit me again ( not that they ever left but they were manageable.) I also had crashing fatigue for 3 weeks . I didn’t know what was going on. At the same time my period began getting irregular. Now instead of the usual 6 days, it is 10 days long and I am getting bigger clots every month. I have insomnia and I have trouble remembering things , and my pms is worse now, I have symptoms like sore breasts that I never had before. This is really throwing me for a loop. Anyone want to share their experience? I need some comfort!
I forgot to mention the most distressing symptom is the irritability. I hate feeling like I hate everyone and don’t want to be bothered.
