My youngest lost his pacifier tonight. I have been meaning to take it away for a long time. He had been using it just for sleep, and now he is upstairs in his bed crying his eyes out. I can't console him.
I keep going back and forth between wanting to scream at him to shut up and wanting to cry in a sobbing puddle on the floor because I can't fix it.
I can't find it and I have looked all over.
I don't know what to do. I want to go back on Lamictal because my mood was more even. I wish I could describe my mind right now. I couldn't handle my body's reaction to Lamictal, though.
Help.... I just want to scream out for help...

Who can you call? Call someone if you can.
In the meantime, take a deep breath and try to relax. It's hard to hear your baby crying, but it's also not putting him in any danger. If he's old enough to understand, why not get him out of bed and tell him you'll look for it together? Distraction might help both of you, and even if you don't find it, he may get tired enough to sleep without it.
I hope that helps!!
