Emotional breakdowns?

o_so_in_love

I think, even though we are only approaching the midpoint of our pregnancies, we've all had enough hormones to warrant an emotional breakdown. Anyone want to share theirs?

The first one of mine that I remember was with my second pregnancy.

I was hungry and it was getting late. Nothing in the house sounded good and all I wanted was Chick-fil-A chicken strips, waffle fries, and sweet tea. We were out of money and didn't get paid for a few days. I bawled on the sofa, totally ugly cried, while my husband tried unsuccessfully to console me.

After doing this for about 30 minutes I realized we hadn't checked the mail and my birthday was a few days away. I ran to the mailbox to find a card with money from DH's lovely grandma. We left for the half hour drive to restaurant immediately.

I am 4 months and for the past 3 months I get so emotional in the beginning of the months because all the bills are due and I am not working. My unemployment ends in March and I don't know want we are are going to do. My husband says we will figure out something, but I know he doesn't make enough. I go through this terrible low, thinking what kind of life am I going to give my child and how useless I am.

Oh yes! Mine came over Christmas. DH and I went to visit his grandparents over 8 hours away from us. I love his family but like most ILs can only take them in limited doses. So when grandpa decided that he and DH were going to go deep sea fishing the day after Christmas, I was excited and said I wanted to go. I *love* fishing! But his grandpa wouldn't take me because I was pregnant. Not even showing, never sick once. (Grandpa is *extremely* misognisitc and told me that I needed to stay at the house with DH's grandma and do "woman stuff".) Well I was pissed. On top of that, his grandma is older but not disabled and expected me to wait on her hand and foot. She also doesn't know how to use an "inside voice" and screams and yells everything she wants. Even though she was capable, she expected me to feed, bathe, and dress her. It was humilating and I was miserable ALL DAY with her. When DH got back that evening, I totally went off on him and I just ugly cried like there was no tomorrow. He had no idea how to handle me. So he went to DQ and got my favorite ice cream....that helped.

OMG GSUdavis that's just a horrible situation. I don't even know what I would have done. Not only were you told you weren't worthy of going fishing because you have lady parts but you had to bathe a capable grown woman and get yelled at all day????? I would have flipped out!!! Like walk home flipped out.

My most recent episode was when my husband drove his dad's truck on the lawn with a load of wood on it. We have a septic tank and he literally parked the thing directly over the tank...which is a no no for those of you that don't have septic tanks. The tank could break under the pressure or the pipes leading away from the tank can crack. Repairs can be anywhere from 3K to 20k, when I saw the truck parked there I got MAD...steam coming out of my ears mad....so I walked out to the truck got in and slammed on the gas. Spun out the back wheels, drove off the lawn and parked the truck in the middle of our culdisac. As I got out of the truck my husband walked by with his friend laughing asking why I just tore up our grass. And when I told him why my husband told me I was wrong...as did his friend...and it's perfectly find to drive a giant truck with a load of wood on it over a septic tank(which it isn't). As if I wasn't already mad enough I totally flipped out and we had a screaming match right then and there.

I mean seriously...don't argue with a pregnant woman ESPECIALLY if you don't know what hell you're talking about!!!!!

Last Easter I was pregnant with DS. I cried like a baby on the floor in my hallway cause Dh didn't want to go to church with me. I blamed his brother for judging Dh for saying he was going to go to church on Sunday so he couldn't work of BILs car.



A couple weeks ago DHs twin brother told us that we all where invited to his wedding in August but the new baby would need a babysitter. Well this mama bear got all over protective over her baby belly cub. And got myself uninvited to the wedding. Little do they know that my kids aren't going either. Dh is only going to be I. The wedding and leave right after.

Then the next day Dh said I needed to say I was sorry and we got in a fight and I back the kids and I a bag and almost left! (Temporarily. He never sticks up for me or his kids when it comes to his family!) so Dh is waiting to tell his twin brother that the kids not he will be at the wedding..

I feel bad but I would do anything for my new baby s/he would be 3 weeks old and learning how to breastfeed!

I broke down today. It was ugly and Eric just took care of our 11 month old and let me cry it out. It was legit though I was freaking out over money insurances and his new job and mine. I just cNt handle everything. I'm so stressed plus the cost of twins on top of that is crazy!! Idk.

My breakdown was this morning. It's my 30th birthday and I am pregnant. All my girlfriends had big milestone parties and here I am not in the mood to talk to anyone but my DH. I am so blessed with this baby and pregnancy but am just not interested in celebrating. I am currently in a total emotional funk.

I had one yesterday! Myself and DH had a few days off work so we went to stay with his mom for a few days. We live about an hour away, close to my parents. I left MIL house alone yesterday afternoon because I had work today and he did not and I was literally 5 minutes down the road when the brakes in my car started to screech. WELL! That just set me off! I rang DH and I was ugly crying down the phone! About my brakes, about life, about EVERYTHING!! It got so bad I had to pull over and he had to come get me...turns out my brakes are fine and the noise was from the car behind me at the time...awkward!

I had one yesterday too. I tried to wake my husband up to drop me off at work. I had a prenatal appointment at 11. I work in the school system. Due to weather the schools had a 2 hour delay. So i was now 2 hours behind schedule now. As it was going to snow all day. I wanted him to drop me off at work and pick me up so i could just run to the car & we hop on the highway. I was really cutting time. But he started arguing with me that it was the same thing and to come back and pick him up for the appointment. In other words he was not going to wake up. So i did it the way he wanted it done. By the time i got out of work, walked across the parking lot in the snow, cleaned off the car let it warm up a couple mins go back and get him I was now 15 mins late. I tried to confront him. And it lead to us just arguing and i went alone to my appointment. When I got home i flipped out. Cried, cried more and threatened to get my own apartment with my tax money. He argued with me a tiny bit before he said "Your right Im sorry" and that we aren't that unhappy to live apart. Hugged me. I was totally relieved and surprised he said sorry and didn't continue an all day battle. He's an argumentative person. So i was shocked he ended it with a kiss on my forehead.

I had one yesterday. It was my husbands birthday, and I learned last year his mother hates when I even say happy birthday to him. Apparently she is his flesh and blood and should be the one to do it. Even though she never does. So I didn't, but my older 2 kids begged and pleaded to get daddy a cake and a card. They were just so darned cute, and I broke.

We were in the car and my 7 year old was exited and called his mom to tell her what her and her brother were doing for her daddy.

I took the kids to the store, they picked out a card, a cake and candles by themselves. She was here by the time I got home from the store with the kids. As soon as I walked in the door she started screaming at me for doing HER job (she was cakeless). My kids started crying seeing me get yelled at, I got so mad they were upset I threw the cake at the wall. The. I screamed at her I was trying to help the kids do something nice for their father. Then I threw my rings at my husband and told him I was sick of trying to do nice things for him only to get yelled at by his mother, packed his suitcase, and told him to leave. That the lines have been crossed when his own children can't do something nice for him.

@kladd7182‌ omg that's crazy !
You are his wife you can do whatever you want for his birthday. She should appreciate he has a good woman who cares about his happiness. Smh MILs can be something else.

I'm having one today. I feel guilty for not eating healthy, not exercising, and ignoring my cat. Sounds silly but today I got really down on myself and bawled my eyes out. I'm worried that I'm not being a good mother as I'm pregnant how will I be a good mother once my baby arrives? I haven't slept well all week and I think I'm just exhausted and emotional. Cooking tires me out so we have been having a lot of takeout that isn't healthy. I used to eat really well before becoming pregnant and now it's all junk.

@kladd7182‌ What in the world?! Children should be able to celebrate their daddy's birthday! A wife too, nonetheless! What was the response from mil and DH? That woman would be cut off from my family if this were my situation. Crazy...

Oh I had one on Wednesday, at work! The big boss called me to her office with both my managers there to talk to me about my switch to days. (I ended up getting move to the one dept I didn't want to work although it does meet the hrs I want and my current restrictions) I was super unprepared and felt put on the spot and really nervous. I barely made it out of her office before spending the next half hour in the bathroom having a melt down.

I'm not even sure why I got so upset. I'm pretty sure she was just trying to be nice and make sure I was ok with working where I was at and that it wasn't too hard for me.

Thankfully I have the best bf ever because he came, picked me up, and took me out for lunch to help me feel better.

Hang in there. It will get better. If you feel tired rest your body needs it. Don't feel guilty about it.

I'm in the exact same boat. No sleep. Shitty diet. I think my dog hates me. I'm finding it hard to be positive and energetic.
