Every night I get this strange feeling that someone is going to break into my home and kill me and my family while we sleep, or just that i will die if i go to sleep. I get up so many time at night when I finally get to bed, usually around 4-5 in the morning. I prefer to sleep during the day, I feel safer. I will check the doors and windows and check on my son, to make sure hes still there and no one has taken him. Ive went so far as to put a dresser in front of my bedroom door so noone could get in to get me, but then i worried that they would come through the window and get me! When im in the moment, it feels so real and intense and I dont know what to do. But when its over I laugh at myself for being so silly. Does anyone else have this issue?

I've gotten to the point where I fight sleep. My problem is that my thoughts are more open for people to know while asleep.

yeah I check the windows at night, but its south africa. I was held gunpoint last week and somehow paranoia is worse than the thing actually hapening,. wel it was for me. BUT THATS SOUTH AFRICA. I use to sleep with the lights on, it helps. sleep with the light on and call me crazy but it helps to suround yourself with things that make u feel safe like teddy's and the other thing AND IT helps me is to imagine myself safe in god's hand. and thats about all my advise to u. if learned to live with it. ULL BE FINE

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...
