Not a new parent sorry but I need some help. My anxiety is focused around night (shocker lol) specifically when she wakes and screams at night. She’s 18m, not the worst sleeper and she’s getting better as she grows. Anyway if she wakes screaming and it takes a while to get her back to sleep, my anxiety hits hard and I can’t sleep for the rest of the night. I’m already on medication for anxiety and I’m much better than I was, it’s just this one trigger that messes me up.

PLEASE how can I relax myself after she’s gone back to bed? Second night I’m awake because of this, I’m so over it.
