My child has been sick for a week. Getting up at least twice for meds. Could this be making me depressed and anxious. I have had no problems and hope my medicine is ok. Yesterday was so bad I was crying for an hour. I normally drink caffeine because of meds. But it seemed to make me angry yesterday. So today I didn't have any but I slept till 11. Sorry so long. I'm very concerned

just the stress of having a sick child is enough to bring someone to tears. but a lack of sleep is definitely going to make it worse. sleep deprivation can cause all kinds of trouble for our mental health. hope your child gets better soon.

Never mind a sick child, lack of sleep makes people tearful and anxious too.
Maybe you can reassure yourself, possibly write down what you fear and how much can be due to what you have just been through. What may be done etc. You're tired and need time to recover. There is a good probability that if you're kind to yourself and let things take their course that you will feel better.

I hope you feel better really soon.
