Tell me about your break downs - is being PG changing how you react to things?

    I watched the family stone on tv today and cried like a baby. I cry really easily these days which is so not like me! I mean, the movie is a little sad but geez...

    The past 2 days have been awful for me and DH.  I have cried the past 2 nights for stupid little comments he might make.  Then I try to justify my emotions and that just makes it worse until I'm finally like. .. "just leave me alone, I don't know what the hell is wrong with me!"

    OH YEAH!  I think I have an emotional breakdown about once every two weeks.  I cry @ the drop of a hat.  And some days I get so depressed I just lay on the couch and don't move or talk for hours.  It's kind of scary.  I'm actually scheduled to go to therapy next week because this can't be normal!  I feel like I've lost my mind and I'm not sure how much of it is PG and how much is stress from work.  Is anyone else this bad???

    I had asked my DH what he wanted for his birthday and he was teasing me saying, "you know what I want" and I started crying because I had no clue what he wanted and I felt like I was a bad wife lol  I was never a "crier" before pregnancy, so this is a new thing ::sigh::

    I was planning to make something in particular for dinner one night, and DH was getting hungry about an hour or two before I was going to start making it. I told him he could have a tiny snack but I was making something. He started pulling out tortillas, cheese, lunchmeat and anything else he could get his hands on (jokingly). I was trying to fight it away from him (again, jokingly) so he wouldn't ruin his dinner.

    While I was still laughing fromt he fake struggle, tears started pouring out of my eyes, and they weren't happy tears. I was a little, tiny bit upset that he was going to ruin his appetite, but I KNEW he was joking. So I just started crying (kind of).

    Then I started making fun of myself telling him I was leaking and didn't know why. We both started cracking up. It was great.

    Honestly? I haven't really seen a difference except 2 times:

    Crying during Great American Dog and when DH over cooked the asparagus (he does this everytime.)

    I think pregnancy has made me MUCH more assertive at work though. Not bitchy, but I stand up for myself and don't put up with any crap. priorities changing maybe?

    I haven't been too emotional surprisingly but the other night I did start SOBBING during the movie Shoot Em Up to the point my DH had to turn it off and I still haven't been able to finish it.

    I'm definitely more emotional when it comes to tv shows. I cry at the drop of a tear on screen.

    Mistress_Seraph, this happens to me too. I spent an entire Saturday recently laying in bed crying on and off. DH kept trying to cheer me up but it doesn't work like that. I have accepted that some days are great and some days are REALLY bad. I have been seeing a therapist to help me through the stretches of days (usually 2-3) when I am inconsolable. I love that we are having a baby but pregnancy has been extremely hard emotionally.?

    I cry when I get stressed out now which is not normal for me.  Its better than the first tri when I would barf and then cry.  I've cried at a couple sad songs and I'm usually not a crier.  Its not too bad, its mostly the reaction to stress that has changed for me.

    I cry a lot more than I used to. MH and I nitpick about the smallest things and normally we just compromise but lately I just break down. Just today I got pissed over him not wanting to change to cartoons for our daughter so she could take a nap - he didn't see anything wrong with her watching Live Free or Die Hard. So he says this is why I just leave her to you and your mom -- at least I'll be gone in a month and you won't have to worry about me saying anything!! (He is being deployed by the Navy) OMG I just started balling! I couldn't believe he said that. Normally I wouldn't care and would just come back with a snappy reply and we would be talking in 5 min. Today I havent talked to anyone in hours!

    I cried at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade because I was thinking about how awesome it will be to watch it with our future child.

    I also lose my temper a bit too easily and am just overall more sensitive.
