husband thinks I am manic

It is true that the smallest noise sets me off at night and I haven't been sleeping well. Although the hubby doesn't want me to talk to the doctor and get medicated. He says a little bit of mania doesn't hurt anyone. He made a comment that it's like I got spring fever because the weather is nicer. I don't know what to do. He says if I get medicated again I will go back to being a drone and he doesn't want that although this has been disrupting my quality of sleep sleep hasn't been good lately.

What would you do if you were me?

No a little bit of mania doesn't hurt but a little bit of mania turns into a lot of mania sooner or later (unless you are me) without medication and then all hell breaks loose. The choice tho is ultimately yours not ours nor is it your husbands

I think you should take care of yourself as you want to. If your sleep is suffering then you can get help for that. I've been using valerian root, OTC and effective but don't use too long.
(2 weeks max) I don't trust other people to think they know what I need.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
