37 weeks and frustrated with everything

Have had enough of being pregnant and had enough of people. I've had severe morning sickness from 4 weeks and I'm still vomiting daily which has taken a huge toll on me physically and mentally and I've gotten to the point I just want to scream and cry all the time. Feel like no one understands how hard it's been, I gave up my job at 12 weeks as I was too sick and have been stuck at home since then. My friends that have kids haven't been any real support as they don't really understand just how sick I've been, I try to talk to them about it and they compare their pregnancy or make me feel bad about complaining. Sometimes I just want someone to listen to me while I complain that I've been throwing up non stop for days! Or a hug! My best friend of 14 years stopped talking to me in February for reasons I still don't know and it's been so hard not having her to talk to. I love my partner but I just wish he'd step up a bit more and help out. Feel like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders and no help or support.
I'm hoping the way I'm feeling will pass and once my princess is here I can start to feel like a person again and start building myself back together.
I feel so awful complaining when I should be grateful that I have a beautiful miracle growing inside me but it has been the hardest 9 months of my life and getting so near to the end of it all my coping mechanisms are diminishing.

Re: 37 weeks and frustrated with everything
Also there's a depression thread.
Good luck, I hope you can find what will help but don't continue on like this. You've taken a big step talking about it.
I'm sorry you are going through this. We've all hit a breaking point in the pregnancy at some point and as @klkonwi said, if you check the symptoms and anxiety Thread you will see you are definitely not alone. Mine was Monday of this week. I was
Inconsolable over something that was out of my control. By Wednesday I had such anxiety about giving birth and having a child I actually thought "ok, I've changed my mind!!" Haha.
I agree with others that you need to talk to someone about it and you definitely need to let your SO know about your concerns in regards to him stepping up. All of this building up inside is not healthy and could lead to PPD.
I'm not sure where you live but if the weather is getting nice out, try to take short little walks or even just sit in the sunshine for a bit. Still socialize with friends who don't aggravate you. Go out to dinner with your SO. Netflix a comedy. Try To distract yourself as much as possible. You are in the homestretch!! Baby will be here soon and we will all be here to help build you back up!
Also remember that your princess beautiful miricle or what're you call her will at some point disappoint you, shit or puss all over you, piss you off and make you want to die. Don't put so much pressure on the kids presence to be the notice that makes everything better...she won't. So get help.
Not trying to diminish your feelings, OP. A lot of us are scared (including myself) and maybe thinking who knows what kinds of thoughts. Have a look around the board, we've recently talked about anxiety (which is a fairly recurring theme on daily symptoms), depression, anger, stress. Feel free to join into any discussions
In the meantime, here is a fearsome lion taking down a giraffe
Best of luck to you @skye3110 , if you live in So Cal message me and I can go on a walk with you.
ETA: I absolutely get how you feel, HG really does take a huge toll mentally as well as physically, especially when no one gets that it isn't just morning sickness. Still, I can't diagnose you, so you need to talk to your doctor. Keep track of your vomiting in case he doesn't initially take you seriously (sadly, this happens a lot, too) so you can get whatever treatment is appropriate for you at this time. Also seek counselling if you need it, don't just expect all the negative emotions to go away once you've delivered. Good luck.
I don't have much of a support system and I tried to reach out to people I thought may understand and support rather than shut people down and make them feel bad about themselves.
I'm well aware of hyperemesis graviderum, I was told I had it at 8 weeks and have tried every treatment possible and nothing really has helped. I am seeing doctors and councillers but seeing I live in a small country town in Australia I was recommended to go online to connect with people that may understand being no one has even heard of HG here before.
Thank you to those that had kind words, I really do appreciate it in the midst of the negative.
We should be supporting each other not tearing each other down and making people feel worse when they're already pretty fragile.
It's been made pretty clear I've come to the wrong place for support and friendship.
I'm gonna say it again, have a look around and you'll see that a lot of us are feeling down or are dealing with medical issues that are making it a tough road. Join into these discussions. In daily symptoms ladies are talking about throwing up and aches and pains... There ARE people here to relate to, but you would know that if you had looked around to begin with. This is a source of frustration for posters (when people dont look around), and for you as well cause you are missing out on the good stuff by not having a look around first. It would really benefit you to have a look around. Use the search button to look up anxiety or vomiting. We talk about these things over and over. There IS sharing of ideas and commiseration. But again, you have to look around to know that.
Wishing you well with your little one and hope you get some kind of relief from your vomiting
The other users are right, there were more appropriate threads for your post than an entirely new one. Threads where you would have gotten the sympathy and made the connections you want. You could have even found some here by reaching out via personal message to those of us who disregarded the redundancy of your post rather than reprimanding us en masse.
You're a real peach. Call a therapist. Maybe it's not everyone else. Maybe it's you. Hope you get some help for that nasty chip on your shoulder.
It helped me when I was suffering weeks 4-30.
A general message board like this may not give you the specific help/support you need. Try an HG specific group. Good luck!
