Crazy emotions still?

sammich6712 · December 2015

Just wondering if anyone else's emotions are still absolutely haywire. I am a basket case of tears when before pregnancy I cried maybe once a year. Any solutions to help...?

I cry a lot too, and at ridiculous things. I have no idea what you could do to help. I just go with the flow, cry, and don't beat myself up about it.

Solution? Child birth.

Hormones level out some after first trimester but not completely. Then there are a few weeks postpartum where you are kind of psycho again. I rarely cry but cry all the time while pregnant. My tolerance for idiocy, B.S., and made-up drama also goes waaaaaay down while pregnant. I am one of those cranky pregnant ladies. My lucky DH. lol.

I hear ya @countrygrl5533. I cry constantly now, but it is rarely because I am sad. It is all frustration and stress and my inability to handle everyone else's stupidity. I wish I got mad, but my knee jerk reaction is to just tear up and sob. Ugh.

Me! I am much much more emotional this pregnancy.

I assumed the weepy and bitchy swings were hear to stay during pregnancy. I don't think it goes away till the postpartum phase is over and all the hormones go back to normal.

If someone's voice cracks on a TV show, I'm crying. Also, apparently I can no longer have a decent conversation because at some point in it I'm bound to cry...so that's fun. I'm just laughing it off because I know 99% of the reason I'm crying is because pregnancy has made me ridiculous.

YUP, my hormones and emotions are out of control. I cry at least 5 times a week, ranging from happiness, sadness or just plain being overwhelmed. I really thought things would simmer down by now in the second trimester, but nope, still raging on!

I rarely cry because I am sad these days, but I cry a lot when something makes me or someone else happy or nostalgic. Holiday commercials are the worst! Happy families get me every time.This morning I cried watching a video of my 4 year old nephew open his birthday presents because he was so happy. When my husband says something extra funny or silly this weird laugh/cry combo thing happens.

I don't know about everyone else, but I've found that I cry much more now as a mom than I ever did before. Even without pregnancy hormones I just cry all the time! If DD does something sweet, I cry. Sometimes I cry because I'm so frustrated with her 2 yo fits and stubbornness. Sometimes I cry because she just looks so peaceful while she's sleeping. I cry every single time I find her preemie outfits again. I never cried before I got pregnant but now I'm a weepy mess. It's definitely worse during pregnancy, but you'll probably never go back to your norm of never crying ever again.

Count me in on the crying.

You know what really stinks.... I'm a social worker/ counselor so I hear sad stories all day. Before I rarely cried with a client, but now it happens multiple times a week. I feel so bad.

I have a 7 year old boy with type 1 diabetes who checks in with me about 3-4 times a day and today his blood sugar was right at target for his lunch check-in (he had been running high all week). I burst into tears. He looked at me like I was crazy...because I pretty much am. I couldn't even call his mom because I was so emotional, so I sent her a text and she sent back "Oh, thank goodness! You have been taking such good care of him! I feel so good that he is in your hands during the day." and guess what? Sobbing again. This is really not working for me at work...

I cried because they threw away my bagels in the work refridgerator.

Full on shaking meltdown. And most don't know I'm pregnant so I cried worse because it was so embarrassing.

@AliciaD39 made me laugh
Reminded me of a very early work meltdown where I had hissy fit cos someone stole my cheese!! About the only thing I could stomach at the time was soft cheese sandwiches and when it was taken I had major meltdown then phoned hubby as was laughing / crying about how insane it all was because I just wanted my lunch!!!!
(And there was proper stomping! Can't gif or I would find small child tantrum that was me!!)

businessmama · December 2015

@salbb yep! Ugh.... It was awful. I hid in the bathroom texting my husband that I had to quit, I couldn't work here anymore.

Not my finest moment.

salbb · December 2015

@AliciaD39 best thing was a few days later I couldn't stand the stuff and the co worker / thief had bought a huge replacement! Yuck

mumbolino · December 2015

Yep. Crying very easily. I feel extremely vulnerable and defensive. And if anyone messes with me (= if I feel anyone messes with me, so it might not really be anything at all), I get super angry and aggressive and just feel like i want to hit everyone! (I have pulled myself together so far :-)!

Sometimes I feel like I don't even know this aggressive person!

I posted this in the weekly symptom thread, but realized I meant to put it here as it was more relevant:

These posts always made me cry, but now that I'm pregnant, I get super weepy. I love good people.
