I just need to cry.

Today sucked- I was weepy, mopey, depressed; cranky, sad (just realized if I had 2 more I would be snow white with the seven hormones). I dwell on crap as it is, and today the hellmones decided to turn one particular situation I am dealing with (see below, yay for family! __________sarcasm) into cryfest 2011. I have to admit, I'm nervous- I have suffered from depression in the past. That's the best I can explain what my feelings seem like right now. And it's been more like this than not lately. I wanted to be the happy pregnant chic, and I feel like the complete opposite. I feel great when I am working out, doing something...but the minute I am left alone... yuck. And FWIW, I did briefly talk to me sister about the situation about going out for a ladies lunch/tea/get together or something before hand...and she asked what I was expecting and honestly...I told her it's not that I was expecting anything grandiose or extreme...it was, I don't know, I guess I was just expecting... a thought. She went and said something along the lines of she could never out do or do something like I did for her son #2 (whatever), and with # 1, she was totally happy just doing tea w/ my mom and me...and her friends were an added bonus (was a surprise)...honestly...that's great, I'm glad, but what's done is done. I also tried to make it clear now, I just don't really want anything (yes, I am stubborn).Tell me I am not alone...tell me these feelings are normal...because I feel BSC cry

Re: I just need to cry.

  • It's totally normal. Pregnancy hormones can mess with you pretty bad. Do you have someone you can talk to? Not J or your family but a counselor or doctor? If you've had depression in the past it might be good to talk to someone now. It actually got worse for me after I had Carly. (((hugs))) we're here when you need us, but please seek more support if you think it's necessary.
  • Also, go ahead and cry! Let it out. Also, I snorted at snow white and the seven hormones, lol. Been there :)
  • Go ahead let it out.  Not that I have experienced it 1st hand, but I'm sure it's the pregancy that's doing it.

    I do think I am going to bring it up to my OB tomorrow....only because the anxiety and icky feelings really are happening more than the happy go lucky ones.

    This. There is depression other than post partum - I think you are overwhelmed and your family just isn't helping,
  • I'm so sorry you're going through this, Jackie.  After going through two pregnancies and having you do something special for each one your sister should've definitely felt the need to make you feel just as special.

    I'd like to hunt down whoever put it out there that pregnant woman should be happy go-lucky and ask if they'd ever been pregnant.  I mean, really!  Pregnant woman get fat no matter how hard the try not to, they've got aches and pains that make them uncomfortable pretty much 24/7, and in just a few short months their lives will be forever changed!  I defnitely wasn't a "happy pregnant chic" by the time I got to your stage of pregnancy.  I totally agree that you should talk to your OB about how you're feeling.  If you're feeling this low now there's probably a good chance it will only get worse after the baby is here.  Good luck, and I really do hope your sister realizes how selfish she is being.

  • Definitely talk to your OB.  You don't deserve to be stressed or sad like this.  Hopefully she can suggest something for you.
