Holy Emotions...
I'm sitting here crying at work for no real reason. I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night in the past 3 weeks so needless to say I look like a zombie walking around. I cried in my car after my appt this morning because the nurse told me that they wouldn't have my b/w results until tomorrow instead of today. I don't know but the stress and CONSTANT worrying is really catching up to me and I am SOOOOOOOOOO emotional. I just want to go home and sleep and I'm very grumpy. I've already been snippy with my parents this morning so now they are staying away from me. Were you this emotional early on?
Thanks for letting me vent.

Re: Holy Emotions...
I hope you feel better soon. The lack of sleep and stress are probably making the dealing with the hormones even more difficult. I really hope you get some peace of mind SOON!
From my experience, it gets better for a long time, then back to the roller coaster of emotions. I think I was about 5-6 weeks along and shocked that I would be so emotional that early. I went shopping with a friend for the day while DH golfed. I was looking forward to seeing him when I got home. He called me on my way home to tell me that he was going to play poker w/ friends that night. Not a big deal, right? I LOST it. I caused a fight, cried, and felt as if he was abandoning me. So pathetic. Now we laugh about it but I couldn't control myself! Recently I've been finding myself crying over songs, the holiday season, thinking about the next few months, etc ... pretty much anything that would stir up the slightest emotion.

This morning I was on the way to work, and that Beyonce song came on, "If I were a boy....". It's pretty cheesy really, but I just started crying! At the moment it seemed like the most touching song in the world...and it's cheesy!!! I got to work and was like, "Really? I was I seriously crying to that song?"
I've pretty much been like this since day one, although I actually cried a lot more at the beginning as opposed to just being teary. You're not going crazy.
Hope things settle down soon!
I think I was pretty good early on but I've been getting more emotional lately. Christmas songs, or heaven forbid sappy Shania Twain love songs, send me into tears. My friends tick me off really easily right now too. I've been pretty nice to DH though. At least I realize that I'm being overly emotional and grumpy. That's half the battle.
I hope you can get some sleep, and reassurance that everything is ok. Stressing will do you no good so make sure you find time to physically and emotionally rest. Grab a really nice dessert on your way home from work - that always cheers me up.
Yes, but it sounds like your lack of sleep and the stress of worrying are making it worse. Why aren't you sleeping at night? Are you worrying? I was in bed by like 8 pm when I was that early on.
Is it possible to tell your parents you need to take the afternoon off and just go home and rest? It really sounds like you could use a nice afternoon curled up on the couch with a nice mug of hot chocolate and a good movie!
Hope you feel better soon!
I agree with Sara - go home and spend the afternoon on the couch! Pop in a Christmas movie and relax.
I honestly can't imagine what you're going through since I haven't had those same experiences, but definitely what the others said. Try to get some rest! Watch a funny movie or TV show, no sappy ones!
I will say, I think I became more emotional after delivery. All of the feelings then are just so overwhelming. DH and I would both cry at some of the cards we would receive... cards that before I would read and say "that's nice" and now I'd be bawling.
Hang in there!
