As I sleeplessly make my way into my thirty-second week, depression has slowly crept it's way back into my everyday life. The lack of sleep I'm experiencing is affecting me drastically which is probably contributing to my depression. I know how horrible it can be for one to not sleep for days and all the issues that go along with it, I'm going on day four with about five hours of intermittent sleep. I've made it seven months without medication and am counting on making it the rest. I know that lack of sleep can make for a difficult labor, but I am doing harm to my baby by not sleeping? Also, I work at psychiatric hospital, where, my co-workers are often as insane as my patients. The lack of sleep/depression is making it difficult for me handle myself at work. It takes a lot to work with psychotic patients and like-wise co-workers. I only work part-time, so I don't get maternity leave. And it's not about money, I just don't know what to say to my boss about quitting. I feel horrible that I'm on the schedule, but they can't count on me to be there. I can't even count on me to be there, it's just too hard to handle. Any suggestions on what to tell my boss? Support? Anyone going through the same thing, went through the same thing, how are/did you handle it!? 
Thanks ladies!
