Bat Shit Crazy...

silverwood · June 2015

I have been crying on and off all day. I could barely make it through my trip to the grocery store. I even sat in the parking lot, way off where there were no other cars, and cried before going in. Then I started crying again as soon as I came out. I can barely make eye contact with anyone without crying. Every song on the radio is making me bawl, even a dumb Rod Stewart song, for chrissakes. Then I came home and yelled at my teenage son for not helping me with the groceries. I threw the celery on the floor, and then cried because I felt bad for yelling at him. What a crazy bitch. We haven't told him yet about the baby, so he just assumes I'm nuts. I am just 5 weeks tomorrow. How can I be this hormonal already? I am really losing my shit. I don't remember this from the first time I was pregnant. I know every time is different, and I was much younger then. Please, someone tell me this will get better. I just want to cry, and sleep.

It subsides a bit as the weeks go. It really fluctuates but I will say that the first 2 weeks were the absolute WORST!

Thank you. I just need to believe it gets easier. I know it must. I know it's just hormones, but the moods feel SO real.

I think we can ALL vouch for that, haha. What I do is before I get mad or cry, I breathe and tell myself to be normal haha. I'm not moody or the crying type so my husband has been on a ride the past few weeks too!

Aww so sorry! I have cried multiple times. Although, I am definitely a crier. Happy cry, sad cry, embarrassed cry, you name it. But these were like "why on earth am I crying over THIS?!" My husband just got back in town, he left the day we found out, so he is in for it! Lol

Sorry you're a wreck... But you're not alone! I cry for no reason too... A lot more than I'd like to admit IRL. But at least we can feel safe here to confess our crazy and not feel judged or alone.

Oh bless your heart!! I feel your pain, though I feel better now. When I found out we were pregnant (very early 6/5 so I was a tad past 3 weeks) I cried for 2 days straight. Though this was not an unplanned pregnancy, it was unexpected. I cried because I was scared, hormonal and tired. Needless to say, us woman are kinda crazy anyways, throw a bunch of new hormones on top of that and BAM! This is what you get. It will get better.

Thanks ladies. Today was rough. I feel much better now. I made BLTs for dinner. Thank goodness for bacon. Now I'm all cuddled up in front of the fan, and I'm going to Bump until I pass out. And the pendulum swings...
