Hello Bees!
I need some advice STAT! My marriage and sanity depend on it.
When my 11 month old cries in the middle of the night, I have such a terrible reaction. I try to let him cry it out because I know he's fine and he just wants me to come hang out with him, but the sound of his cries make my skin crawl. I literally want to scratch off my skin! My husband tries to reason with me and tell me that the baby is fine and that he will fall asleep in a few minutes (which is invariably true) but those minutes of him crying really put me through the anxiety wringer, and I tend to take my frustration, fear and sadness out on my half-asleep husband.
I know that my reaction is extreme and I am working on it in therapy along with all my other fun anxiety issues. But I was wondering if any of you had any advice to get through those tough minutes. How can I lower my blood pressure while my little man is wailing away?

I don't know if this rambling even makes much sense, but even just hearing from anyone who's had a similar experience (and survived!) would be helpful.

Thanks!
