I just posted a SS thread about my current cause of anxiety. Today is not a good day, but hopefully once today is over the anxiety will calm right back down again. I will cry, though, it's a release and I can already feel it building. I figure it'll either come tonight when I go to bed, or when the nurse comes to tell me that DH's surgery (tonsillectomy) went great and I can go back to see him.

I hate anxiety. A lot.

How are you doing @Sarajoy00?

I had to put down one of my cats Tuesday. Her death brought back feelings of my mother passing. I've been a mess. My other two cats know she's gone. One hides all day only emerging to eat or poop. The other walks room to room crying out for her. It's not making it any easier. DH is taking care of his mother today who is in in-home hospice. She is only expected to live a month or so. I can't wait till I have my LO. DH and I are so thankfull we have that to look forward too. Feeling LO kicks make it easier to get though all of this. Here is a picture of Winter.

@fferreiralynn so sorry to hear about your kitty. Losing a pet is losing a member of your family, and it's ahrd. She looks like a beautiful cat that was well loved! It sounds like you are going through a lot with your family, so take care of yourself, DH and your LO!

Thank you.

@fferreiralynn I'm so sorry about your cat. Losing a pet is just like losing a family member. :-( I'm also sorry about your MIL needing to be in hospice. T&Ps for you and your family. ((hugs))

My short term disability case was approved so I'll be able to get short term disability until 6 weeks post parin for vaginal delivery 8 for csection. This has lifted a lot of stress as the medical bills propane bill ect were beginning to mount. I'm overall not feeling as depressed as I was.

@fferreiralynn I'm so sorry to hear about your cat.

I'm feeling better today. This last week was really rough for me and I have no idea why. I was still on my Zoloft and other vitamins and there wasn't anything new going on. I still felt like I was drowning and clueless as to how to make it better. DH was getting really worried and kept asking how he could help.

How about you @SaraJoy00 ?

@fferreiralynn so sorry for your losses and all the stress you are under. Thinking of you. I miss my mom a lot too lately, its tough

((Hugs)) to everyone!!

I am okay.. Comforted that my little one is growing healthy.. Though my uterus is measuring small.. Not sure why that is lol it keeps going back and forth though. One month it is over what it should be, the next month it is a week behind.. Though she keeps measuring on track lol.

My depression has subsided, the Prozac is working wonders, but now I have some unexplained anxiety that is beating me up. When I have nothing to be anxious over. I am just trying to say busy when there is nothing to do haha.

My weight is still low but triggering. I hate how much I weigh even though I know it is all the baby.. Its that sense of control I once had that is now gone. Its a daily struggle but I am trying my best to push through it.

Aw sorry your having a rough time. Can DH do anything? I know they just so want to help. Can you think of anything he can do to make things a little brighter? It's so stupid- but even just chocolate or something?

He ordered a pizza AND jalapeño poppers for me the one day

I'll have to tell him I wouldn't turn down chocolate either.
Sorry you fell! You are being a good mommy because you have them in a nice safe bubble inside keeping em safe!

This week has been really rough... the house we're renting sold and we have to be out by the end of March. We haven't been able to find anything else and with my hormones, I have been stressed and anxious to the max. Which then brings me to being afraid of what my stress and anxiety is doing to the baby. Our finances are limited because my husband hasn't been able to find a full time job. We have a little bit of savings to fall back on, but not enough to survive. Our landlord doesn't want to fix anything around the house and our pipes froze yesterday. I called him but he only called my husband back (which is completely sexist imo). So my husband had to try to unfreeze them when he got home from work and one of the pipes ended up bursting. He was able to fix it but only temporarily. When he told our landlord, our landlord said that he would reimburse us to fix it. First of all, we don't have the money upfront to do this, in addition to the fact that my husband has no experience in plumbing, but it's the landlord's freaking responsibility!!! We got everything working except for the shower and again the landlord told my husband how to get to the pipes and he had to do it himself. I told my husband that this is completely unacceptable but he doesn't like confrontation. He did say that he would tell the landlord to fix the pipe that burst. I just want to scream!!! This is just a pretty short synopsis of what is going on and it's definitely not everything, but thank you for at least listening! I just don't understand why all of this is happening now when we have this little one on the way.

Ts and Ps girl! Can you do anything to self-soothe?

Thanks. I actually had my break down in the car on the way there, just sitting and quietly sobbing. Luckily dh is used to this and let's me cry it out before asking me anything. Its a huge release to cry it out. I did better after that and took my deep breaths like mom taught me when I was little. Silly that self soothing involves a giant sobfest, but if it works, it works!

Glad you got a good cry out. Sometimes a good cry and a nap are the best things to get us through a stressful time!! ((Hugs))
