@meg.beacon: Last night was actually a better night with Riley. He only woke up three times, which honestly feels like a win lately. 🤍 But while he was sleeping, my anxiety had other plans. I lay there with my mind running through absolutely everything, unable to switch off. One thought turned into another, and before I knew it, it was 5am. It’s such a strange feeling when you finally get a little more sleep from your baby, but your own brain won’t let you have it. And I think that’s something we don’t talk about enough. Sometimes we’re so used to being on alert that even when things are quiet, our minds don’t know how to rest. So if you’re reading this on very little sleep this morning, whether your baby kept you up or your own thoughts did, I’m sending you a hug. 🤍 You’re not failing at rest. You’re not doing anything wrong. And you don’t have to be the only mom awake with a busy mind. Has anxiety ever kept you awake even when your baby was actually sleeping? I’d love to know I’m not the only one. 🫶 #momlife #postpartummentalhealth #momcommunity
