Pregnancy hormones...how do you cheer yourself up?

JenniferAnnes

One of my bosses went off on me this morning for something that wasn't my fault. Of course, he refuses to admit that he is to blame for anything so he has to blame me.  Normally I would just get mad, vent to DH and move on.  Today, I think my hormones got the best of me and I totally lost it.  I started crying in my office  this morning and anytime I think about it, I want to cry again.  I just want the day to be over.  I desperately want to find a new job because I've never been so unhappy at a job in my life, but I doubt anyone's going to hire a pregnant woman, so I have to suck it up for awhile.

I'm having a really hard time dealing with this...it's the second time this pregnancy that I've been crying in my office.  How do you ladies cope with the hormones when you get upset over things that you probably wouldn't get upset over?

I usually freak out, cry & cry and cry...then once I get tired of crying I watch, "I love Lucy" and call it a night. lol.

I've tried several things but unless I cry it out I feel pent up and twice as upset. Hormones suck!

Hahah some "I Love Lucy" would totally do the trick right about now.  I guess I'll just try to keep it in until the end of the day and I can go home and cry it out if I still feel like this.  I change my mind about what I wrote in HDBD...I don't miss margaritas nearly as much as I miss feeling emotionally stable!  Hahaha.

Unfortunately for me, the more I try to rationalize it and make it go away, the worse it gets so I just have to ride it out. A dose of The Daily Show always works for me!

I just cry!  The other day I was in a really bad mood...ate some ice cream and went and bought an outfit for Garrett seemed to help!

If I was in your situation (stuck in an office) I would try thinking of the first time I fell in love with my man. I love rehearsing what he said to me-what he was wearing-how I felt when he left for college.....try that!

I love this idea!  I was sitting here telling myself to "think happy thoughts!"  This is perfect!

I am so sorry you are having one of those days. I know I have them every once in a while and absolutely nothing can really get me out of the funk. Just try to remember that tomorrow your emotions will most likely be much more rational and just get through the day. Maybe give DH a heads up so he can take care of dinner and you can take a nice shower and relax once you get home from work?

I'm sorry, tomorrow will be MUCH better.

And just think about Saturday, that is enough to cheer you up!

Thanks!  Knowing that we get to see our LO on Saturday is definitely helping!

It's reassuring to hear that I'm not the only one who has days like this.  I feel like such a big baby, but I guess it's all normal hahaha.

If I don't have something to distract me, then I will just dwell on it and never move on. So I purposely distract myself. I might look up a funny video on YouTube, watch a movie that always makes me laugh, call a friend who is always good for some funny stories, plan the babymoon . . . anything that will put me in a good mood. If I was at work, I would try YouTube videos, playing some music that always makes me happy (for me, 80's music), and/or head out of the office for lunch or get a snack at Starbucks or something. Just something to shake it up.
