lack of sleep

KBritton62313

I think that I am an insomniac! I haven't got much sleep for the past two weeks, I think it's because so much is going on around me and mainly babies!! No I'm not pregnant but it seems like everyone is! I have two cousins that are pregnant and 2 friends!! I'm excited for them but kinda jealous because I've never had complete attention on myself for a day other than when I was almost born at Kmart on Thanksgiving Day! Well that was 23 years ago and I've had no more attention not even when I got engaged! Sad but true! Anywho so I've been thinking about how to have the celebration about just us because well all this other stuff is going on and I want our day to be just that... OURS! Am I being petty(not willing to be pettty) or is this normal when so many or getting married before me and starting families?

I wouldnt say being petty. I would say just looking for the same excitement that everyone else gets when they have something good going on. Im kinda in the same boat only it seems everybody around me is going thru drama and their drama is getting all the attention and not someone who is happy in general. Thats why Im so happy we have the AAW board cause without you ladies I wouldnt know what to do. I hope you start to get some sleep. Cause when I dont get sleep im really silly but then I turn grouchy lol

</div><div>Agreed. I love coming to AAW for that as well. </div><div>
</div><div>I'm no means a doctor or in the medical field, but have you been getting enough iron? Sounds like your sleeping may have gotten offtrack a little bit. Maybe a 1/s dose of a sleeping agent may work?

I think we are sisters in another life because I'm the same way!!! If I get no sleep I laugh and then I get mean,.. that's the cycle!! LOL!! I love this board as well!!  It reminds me that someone still cares!!

KB...sorry that you are feeling this way... I think that if you have been feeling this way forever.... its sounds like u may need to get to a point where u and only u can make u happy.. and u have to learn how to b at peace with the negative feelings u have felt... its sooo easy to say..BUT hard to do... I say this from experience... Be happy for all of them... but know that your day is between u and UR hunny and that's what matters.... I know that stress can cause many issues with the body.. and not sleeping.. is a MAJOR ONE... I hope u find some peace and I am sure sleep will follow... We are always here..vent..cry laugh.. whatever u need to do to get through it and smiling..

I know the feeling babe....be happy for them all but keep doing what you doing to make your day about you two! Get all your compromising in now, cuz when that day gets here....lets just say I won't be compromising on June 2 2013 if you get my drift..

I ditto the comments listed above and I understand. This is my (and FI) second marriage, and honestly? No one is happy for us! But as nursing2u said, we have to get to a point where you become responsible for your own happiness. My wedding party/list/guest consists of 12 people and that's me and FI included. I only want it to be about me and him and Christ. He's given me a second chance, and that's all that's important for me. Make it be about you and your future hubby. If you need someone to celebrate your successes with or just be on the receiving end of a post, we are here for you!
