Can being too tired make you sad?!


Question: Can being too tired make you sad?
I have a 9 month old. And she doesn't sleep. Haha. So I'm only getting a few hours of sleep a night. I've noticed for about the past couple weeks around 4ish in the evening I start feeling sad. My husband works and I only feel it when he's gone. Once he gets home from work I feel fine.

So could it just be that I'm tired and loney? Or should I make a Doc appt to make sure I don't have any signs of depression coming on? Thanks.

Answers:

Yeah i reckon tiredness does affect your mentality. If your tired you feel more vulnerable and emotional. Talk to your husband and tell him how you feel. Try and sleep when your baby sleeps? And why dont you find yourself a local mother and baby group or support group to help with the loneliness?
It might be an idea to talk it through with your GP though. Maybe you have a mild case of post natal depression. They might be able to help you or refer you to someone else who can help. Or mention it to your health visitor, see what they say. x



I think so! Im so tired right now and im very sad, i think sleep gets your mind together and helps you think rationally, right now im very sad, i haven't slept properly in a long time. :[



Yes! Sleep is one of the most important things to our health. Sleep!



It is called motherhood!
