My nervous system is destroyed
I can feel the cortisol flood my system with the CONSTANT whining. My whole body is tense and I feel ready to explode and run away simultaneously. Baby girl is 8 months and I'm pretty sure her upper front teeth are coming in. I could crawl out of my skin. This must be an evolutionary/biological response to my offspring being in distress, right? I feel so overstimulated and enraged. I'd never take this feeling out on my sweet girl, but good lord I could tear my hair out.
Doesn't help that she wakes up 6+ times a night, every night, so I'm also running on very broken sleep. Husband works a lot and we don't have a village nearby. Not really looking for advice, mostly just venting, possibly commiseration.
Ugh.
