Anyone have a hole to crawl into?

Does anyone else feel like they want to just crawl in a hole and not come out until these babies arrive?

I've been able to keep my depression at bay for most of this pregnancy, but DAMN I am in a funk. I don't want to see anyone, talk to anyone, get dressed, go anywhere.....UGH!!

    Have you talked to your doctor about this lately? I think it's worth mentioning to him/her especially if you have a history of depression.

    Depression during pregnancy is pretty common. You should talk to your OB/midwife about it, cause they see it a lot and will have good advice. Depending on how bad it is, they could refer you to a specialist, prescribe something that's safe during pregnancy, or just help you figure out some lifestyle changes.

    It is very easy to get into a funk when you feel so tired & uncomfortable most of the day!  It can be hard to get out of it though! 

    Try forcing yourself to focus on a task where you can feel like you achieved/completed something. Or just get out of the house to do something fun.  That helped me a little bit!

    I feel this way, but its because I'm sore, grumpy, and frankly, I prefer not to wear pants.

    I agree with pps though, mention it to your OB just so they know to keep an eye on you!

    Thanks so much ladies....I actually take an anti-depressant and think it has to do more with being swollen and in pain. I think I need to find a craft or something to keep my cranky ass occupied.

    And not to be sappy, but I must say how much I LOVE this board and all you lovely ladies!

    I hear ya sista. I've been pretty anxious these days as well. Do/watch something you love! I can't run but I can put on my Missy Elliot pandora station and dance around belly all out OR watch Bradley Cooper in A-Team back to back. Whatever works!

    I'm with you. The stretch from Thanksgiving to Christmas is hard for me and the Oregon hormones are not making it any better this year. Talking to your OB is a good thing to do as well as trying to find something positive to channel your energy into. For example, I forced myself to grade papers the other day in exchange for some time scrap booking. Got work done and got to do something fun for myself plus I felt a little better. Hugs to you and hope you're doing better.
