The 6 month sleep regression is insane. I feel like everyone talks about the 4 month one, I feel like we breezed right past it honestly. I thought wow maybe we got really lucky! Wrong. He was just saving up energy for this one.

Anytime we try to rock him back to sleep, the angry grunting and screaming won’t stop. It’s deafening.

He’s fighting every single one of his daytime naps.

When I do get him to sleep I can absolutely forget about his once beloved crib. The second I lean forward it’s like he cannot believe I would dare to even think about putting him there.

I have a past with birth control absolutely ruining me either mentally or hormonally. I remember the very first birth control I was taking made me suicidal. Thank god I realized it was the pill because I already was/am depressed but I’ve never in my life been so bad that I thought about hurting myself.

Any other birth control I took afterwards messed me up hormonally either right away or with due time.

Right now I’m on the Mirena IUD, and it’s only been a month, but I’m feeling suicidal again. Idk if I’m jumping the gun and it’s just me or if it’s the IUD.

I’d also like to add I’m 6months postpartum.
