When does this hormonal/emotional crap end?

and don't tell me october! I'm a mess and have broken up with my fiancé almost every week for the last month or two. Of course he doesn't let me but I'm just so sick of crying about everything. I'm normally so cool headed and rational so this is really getting to me and him! He wants the old me back he told me tonight :(

    I was crazy insane when first was pregnant I actually feel bad for my partner haha but also had to go off my anxiety tablets so was 10000 times worse now I'm 15 weeks in so much for relaxed and myself I think just being so sick hormonal and tired was making it very hard not to be crazy should ease up soon. I feel more myself now.

    I don't want to scare you but I got worse after my first was born. It took me awhile but I finally accepted that I had PPD. Maybe your Dr can get you a small dose of an antidepressant to help those hormones.

    Mine also seemed to get worse after the baby came. I think a lot of it was due to breastfeeding and feeling like I was the sole one who could care for the baby though, not PPD. I did go back to my moral cool stuff after that but I have found that as far as crying I cry a LOT easier now that I have a daughter.

    I wish it would end too. I hoped second trimester would be better but I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and worse than ever. I cry everyday totally irrationally!

    I know you said you don't want to hear it, but mine was better pregnant and got a lot worse after the baby was born.  Your hormones are just going to be all over the place until after the baby is a few months old

    I cried the other day because I my hair was cut exactly how I asked the lady to do it. Then the next day about how we were out of conditioner after my shower. Then the next day I cried because I wanted my husband to like the sandwich he always gets from Jimmy Jons. I can continue. But the point is that I totally identify with you. I am a very calm individual as far as being a woman goes, But the hormones are kicking my butt. I would encourage you to realize that it is the hormones talking and that you are not alone. I just try not to take myself seriously.

    I teach and a few weeks ago cried after a student issue for the first time in my entire six year career. I am stubborn enough that I held it in until the moment the bell rang, but then I LOST it. I was so upset in the moment in general, but even more upset at myself for getting upset. I cried the entire drive home about crying at school hahaha. It is so hard and frustrating to not feel like yourself!

    I'm so sorry you are experiencing such extreme emotions, and I hope for you and your husband that you can find ways of working with the hormonal impact of pregnancy in a way that benefits your lives over the next year. What PPs have mentioned is quite true for many women. I don't think I started feeling totally normal until almost a year after DD was born. With that said, I went back to getting workouts in daily pretty soon after she was born because I know that helps me mentally/emotionally. It was really important for me to be aware of what would make me feel down or furious and be open about it with DH. He and I talked through those frustrations a lot, and I think it helped a lot that he understood I didn't want to feel that way and was trying hard to cope with the emotions. I have had friends (and my SIL) who have found a counselor in their area to meet with a couple times a month, and that has made a huge difference. Some people find that talking with a counselor helps your bring issues to the forefront, and it can also help you develop some important coping strategies that can support the PP experience, too. It sounds like it would be a great start for you to find a specialist in your area with whom you can talk (and maybe your fiance, too). I know my OB/GYN clinic provides those services on site, but they could also recommend people off-site. You might start by talking to your OB about options! I hope you can find something that works for you two!
