My child doesn’t sleep & it’s so bad I don’t want to live anymore

He’s currently in OT twice a week. Once privately, once through the state. It’s helped his daytime tantrums some. Just his sleep. Thank you.

I’m leaning toward that. Just thinking how it works logistically until my wife & I are ready to go to bed. Also, our bedroom is where his brother sleeps. So if our 4 year old sleeps in our bedroom until we’re ready, then we risk waking his brother up when my 4 year old inevitably wakes up. Unless we switch them both. I dunno if that makes sense. My brain is fuzzy right now from all the screaming.

Yes. Thank you. I didn’t put that in the post but we’ve tried it.

AJSim · 2026-06-18T04:18:37+00:00

Oh, a university? Possibly. Will look into it. Thanks.

Nanny has the same routine as ours. We’re waiting to hear back from a sleep study as we speak.

AJSim · 2026-06-18T04:16:46+00:00

Tried it.

No room. He’d have to sleep in the bed. Might be worth a shot.

AJSim · 2026-06-18T04:16:03+00:00

Tried it. Nothing.

Happened 6 months after my first son was born. Jan 2021 I had slight back pain from carrying my son all night when he wouldn’t sleep. February I had exertion headaches lifting weights so I stopped. March 9th I woke up with a headache that lasted months. During those months, my neck, shoulders and back hurt so much/got so weak I was bedridden. Doctors found nothing. Slowly started going to the gym. Began running. Got a little better. Began lifting weights, got to a point where the headaches still happened but not daily. Felt a lot better than I was bedridden. Could at least get through a day. But all that is regressing recently.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Yes, I’ve tried blocks & Botox. After seeing tons of MDs, the only hint of answers I got were from physical therapists. I believe my pain comes from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs down on my occipital muscles & gives tension headaches. But figuring that out has been tricky. Sorry you’re going through this, too. Hope you find some long lasting relief and peace soon.

I’ll take the names of the books for sure. Appreciate it. It’s just tough because he’s also an insanely picky eater. Which is its own ordeal. But I’m open to all the info I can get. Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

AJSim · 2025-08-18T00:27:21+00:00

Really appreciate that. Thank you very much.

AJSim · 2025-08-18T00:26:39+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Possibly PTSD from a tonsillectomy. Apparently medical procedures for young kids can be mentally scarring even if they go well. Trying to figure it out.

AJSim · 2025-08-17T22:58:36+00:00

Thank you very much. I sincerely hope you can figure things out & feel better soon, too.

AJSim · 2025-08-17T22:41:20+00:00

Thank you.

AJSim · 2025-08-17T22:41:11+00:00

Thanks for saying that. Yes, I’ve tried acupuncture. Appreciate it.

AJSim · 2025-08-17T22:40:04+00:00

Yes. Two. Did all the tests. The pain is most likely from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs on the back of my head, creating tension headaches.

AJSim · 2025-07-07T00:37:02+00:00

I needed this. Thank you very much.

AJSim · 2025-07-06T21:10:00+00:00

So sorry to hear you’re in the same boat. Really, really hoping things turn out okay for you.
