I can't stop crying. My daughter is 18 months now and I'm expecting a second due the week after she turns two.
I am so tired and touched out. My dd wants to be in my space 24/7 and my DH wants sex all the time.
I just want to be alone!
I feel like I'm going to ruin my dd happy personality. I can't stop crying and I keep losing my temper.
I haven't let her nurse in a couple days because I just want my body to be my own!
But it's never going to be my own again. Part of me doesn't want the second baby.... Which makes me feel like a terrible person. I do want the lo I do.
Nicole is there a friend or family member you can talk to? Or can someone come help you a couple hours during the day? Have you considered weaning your daughter so you have a period of time without nursing? 18 months is amazing but maybe she can be done? What about seeing a therapist? You need to take care of yourself so you can take care of your daughter and the baby on the way. I love the oxygen mask analogy. You need to put yours on first so you can care for those around you. Please- Ask for help, don't be afraid or ashamed.
I have a counselor just haven't been in a couple months. Ill schedule something.
I live an hour away from everything. My parents are 4 hours away and dh's are 1.5 hours away. I feel very alone and isolated.
I also work 3 days a week and have classes two days a week.
Anytime I try to study dd screams or gets into things. I don't think she likes being in the computer room. It makes it so I can't study
I panic and cry and by the time she finally takes a nap I'm emotionally drained and exhausted and nap myself.
I could sleep 24/7
I feel like I'm going to ruin her with my depressed state. She's always so happy. But is that going to change with a mother who can't stop crying and yelling?
I feel guilty for not being overjoyed with being pregnant. I'm scared and dreading having two...

Feeling a little better now...
I think I'm going to get a babysitter or my mom to come watch dd so I can have me time.
