I Have Insomnia

Blankie<3... I have bad insomnia and I sleep with my blankie and suck my thumb... I'm trying to stop sucking my thumb and I'm also trying to get blankie out of bed. However, when I try this, I can't sleep at all... Like, it's worse than normal... On a normal night, I might get 4 hours of sleep, but with trying to break these habits, I'm lucky to get 2 hours of sleep... Help!

I don't know that you need a mental doctor...that is a bit rude to be honest. I think you need to talk about this with your regular doc. There are many things that can be done to help you get the sleep you need sweetie.
The sooner you do the better. Don't be ashamed there are many causes of insomnia and once they fix it. You may find you don't need the thumb or blanket any more.

All in due time my dear. There is no clock running on that. I sleep with the cat snuggled up against me who is to say that is any different
