I AM A BALL OF EMOTIONS

Seriously. I honestly can't remember if I felt so emotional this early on when I was pregnant with DS. I'll just find myself doing/thinking about nothing in particular and then I realize I want to burst into tears.

Anyone else feeling like an emotional mess ready? What are some of the coping mechanisms you've used for extreme emotions? How about for dealing with any fears/anxiety you may be feeling at this point?


For me, I find that stopping myself, taking a deep breath, and focusing on what's happening RIGHT NOW helps me to get my mind back in a better place. When I feel the need to cry, I try just letting myself cry, then hitting reset after.

Re: I AM A BALL OF EMOTIONS

  • I've been pretty emotional too. Some coping mechanisms I've used is to just distract myself. It can help to call and talk with family or friends, especially ones who've been pregnant since they understand the crazy emotions. Also, it's amazing what getting some fresh air and going for a walk can do for my state of mind.

  • I find the same thing happening. I will read an article or story that normally wouldn't phase me and feel like I am about to cry. I usually just remove myself or distract myself from what's upsetting me
  • I am the same. First time pregnancy for me so this is all new and I am struggling. I try to stop and breath and say to myself this is not permanent. We just need to take it a day at a time, get some fresh air and wait for that day when it gets better!
  • Me too, this is our 5th. I am either tearing up over happy things or incredibly agitated. I was at the Walmart and this young(8) boy was trying to buy shorts with his mom who didn't speak English well, so he translated. The shorts were all similar and priced the same, except for one pair that were not ringing up. Instead of a price check or just charging the price as the others ($7) the lazy manager refused to sell the kid the shorts. Being hormonal I chewed the manager a new one, lol. I told her she would not have treated me that way and how I found her tone of voice despicable. I was so angry at the laziness I just couldn't let it go, besides seeing a child disappointed just because the manager wouldn't waddle back to the rack where the shorts were clearly priced!
  • I burst into tears at lunch last week with a bunch of coworkers. All of whom were extremely confused. And I have no idea why!
  • I cried when I asked my DH to cut the fat off my steak (yes.. like I'm 5) and he didn't hear me therefore he didn't do it. Hello self! Get a freaking grip!

    I've been getting very agitated and irrational towards things about the house and stuff DH says in jest. I get so angry for pretty much no reason. It usually takes a few minutes for me to cool off and then I apologize to my husband. I feel bad afterwards but he luckily understands.
