Not sure what is happening here but Emma has started to be afraid to fall asleep...brings back horrible memories for me from Kindergarten. Not sure what to do-trying to talk through it all with her-she is upset about Halloween, worried she won't fall asleep, having nightmares about the dent schoolhouse, is constantly reminded of it when she sees a billboard, is angry when I'm asleep and she's not so she comes into wake me up-yes, she said that. She cries & cries, ends up in my room and then we both suffer lack of sleep. Matt is traveling 247-he is home for 1 1/2 days then gone for 6 then back for 1, gone on weekends-its not a good place to be right now. Feeling like the mojo here in the house is WAY off. I am loosing my patience. Feeling like when will we ever get a break. She did so well over the summer when she came off the lexapro in beginning of June. No problems at all until 1 week ago.
Where is the balance everyone talks about? I am never in balance....I am beginning to doubt the whole thing.
As a Mom I want to fix this for her-I am going to have to figure something out-its always the Mom, right? We love our kids beyond words and hate to see them suffer in any way. I know logically she needs to try to figure this out herself-but I also know she can't do it alone. I don't want to put her back on Lexapro. Would want to explore another drug for her. But what? I love my girls so much it hurts.
