need advice or someone to listen-update

I feel like I am going to lose it. I know there are those who are going through a lot more than me so I apologize if I seem whiney. My anxiety is through the roof, I feel like I can barely function. I don't want to leave the house, or see anyone. I don't feel like I can speak to my husband, all I want to do is sleep. I cry on my way to work, I am way behind in school, but I can't drop it. I just want to cry and sleep which doesn't make me mom or wife of the year. Everything feels like a huge burden. I am on meds, I think I need to add something tho, or go to the looney bin.

 

I called and left a message with my RN this morning about Meds.  I hope there is something else I can take while pregnant to get me through until I have the baby.  I really appreciate all of your kind words.

How can I help?

Everyone's story is different. The things that make for "too much" for one person will be different fot the next. Don't discount your own experience. It sounds, like you said, that your medication could use adjusting. I'd think that a therapist could also help you, and provide you some tools to manage your anxiety. I'm sorry your going through this, and I hope you find the right person/people to lend an ear.

Oh N, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. Sadly, I'm feeling similar most days. You need to talk to your doctor and let them know what is going on. My OB said that it can be normal to feel depressed, especially when you're feeling sick after the first tri. I'm here to chat if you need to! HUGS FRIEND!!!

I'm so sorry you feel this way! Don't ever apologize for how you feel ..your feelings are valid no matter how big or small. It is so hard to be pregnant and having to work, take care of a toddler and have to handle everything else. If you ever want someone to talk to or vent to I'm here! I'd love to go grab a coffee (or ice cream!) sometime and you are more than welcome to bring A over and him and Connor can play while you rest, get school work done or just sit and enjoy the quiet! Seriously just let me know how I can help.

We are all here for you!  I know the feeling!  Can you take a mental health day at work and just sleep and have 1 day to yourself?  Sometimes that helps to regroup and pull yourself together.  I would also force yourself to talk to dh about it.  As long as those lines of communication are open it makes things easier on everyone to understand and help.  HUGS!!!

Hugs to you!  I also believe that you shouldn't try to compare your stress and life to someone else's - the way you are feeling is completely valid and you shouldn't ever feel like you don't have it "rough enough" to feel overwhelmed and sad.  You've got a lot on your plate!  You're always welcome to vent.

Sending lots of Hugs! Sounds like you have a lot on your plate! I didn't realize you were going to school on top of everything else too! If you aren't able to drop any classes right now, will you be able to take the summer off or have a lighter load? I also think that if you are able to talk to DH about how you're feeling, you might feel a little better. At least he will know what you're feeling and hopefully be able to help you out more when you're at home. I'm really sorry you're feeling this way!

Well said! I hope things get better for you and your RN is able to give you something to help you through. {{hugs}}

Oh N, I am so sorry that you are going through this!   I hope that the RN is able to get you on something that will help.  If you ever want to meet up just let me know since we are so close.  Big hugs!

I have nothing more to add that hasn't already been said, but ::BIG HUGS, MAMA!::

I don't have any words of wisdom but I do have hugs for you.  I am glad you called your RN and hope they can recommend something for you.  Being a mom is hard enough, and then having pregnancy hormones to go with must be extra rough.  Great job doing what you need to do to take care of yourself.  We are always here for you, please keep us posted!

Hey, I'm late to this, and it sounds like it's all been said.  The ladies here have some great advice.  I just wanted to give you a cyber hug, and wish you well.
