Whats Wrong With Me Posted: 02-27-07 18:48pm
Now I have a great wife and a child on the
way, A not so bad a job, but the last
month I have not been sleeping at all just
lying there in bed turning over and over
till I get fed up and get out again and
drink mugs full of coffee, Work is
becoming a more and more differcult can't
focus on anything. I feel so low and I
don't know why, I have tried most sleeping
tablets to see if they help with no such
differance at all.
I don't think it's even stress from the
baby coming cause I feel fine about it.
I'm a easy going guy but now feel so
depressed and nackered cause I can't sleep
whatever I try to do.
My diet is stable I eat all the right
things in moderation, and the odd sweet
thing now and again, I have seen my docter
about it and he just give me new sleeping
tablets. so any help here would be great,
thanks
Mart

I feel like that at times, luckily mine
never lasts for more than a few days. Are
you giving yourself some time to unwind
before bed time? For example I generally
take a hot bubble bath every evening to
calm myself before bed time. Sometimes I
like to exert my energy by listening to
music or exercising. I have found that if
I don't give myself a little alone time to
just unwind, that is the nights I cannot
sleep or even fall asleep. Even if my day
wasn't stressful or anything I still need
that time. Maybe this will help?

I'm not a medical person or anything, but
it seems obvious to me that you are
stressed about the new responsibility you
are soon to have. Of course you are
excited about the baby but now you have
all these new thoughts and worries about
your wife's health, baby's health, the
birth itself, the financial part of having
a new baby. You are going to be a Daddy.
That's a big deal. I think you need to
accept the stress of this new phase of
your life and do all you can to learn
about becoming a father and talk with your
wife about how you both want to raise the
baby.
For the sleeping part, increase your
exercising to tire your body out more, or
take a hot bath or drink warm milk.
Anything you can think of to relax
yourself. If you don't mind me saying
this - you'll be fine.
