Emotions in overdrive

bp4runner · June 2016

Am I alone in this? Came home from work early today because the stress brought me to tears. Got home and cried my eyes out. I know hormones are intense but I'm embarrassed to go back to the office tomorrow.

This was me over the weekend. I think it was partially because I was so stressed out over my appointment I had this morning, but mostly hormones. I cried multiple times on Sunday and the triggers were all absolutely nothing to cry about.

I had some moments like that around week 6. I work from home but I have regular Google hangouts and video conferencing with other people in my company and my manager called me and I was so stressed out that I was in tears. I told him about my pregnancy about 2 weeks ago and he was like, "You crying 2 weeks ago makes so much sense now."

If your company doesn't know yet, it's definitely embarrassing in the moment, but in hindsight it'll be laughable to everyone (not that stress is laughable, but people will suddenly be able to empathize).

Me. I've been a raging bi*ch lately. I keep apologizing to my dh.

I cried in the check out lane at Target the other day. No reason. I was by myself and the cashier looked at me like I was crazy. I felt I should apologize, but the thought of it made me cry even harder!

I'm a monster. I yelled at my toddler today. I yell at my husband constantly. I wish I could cry instead of bitch, but the tears don't flow

I could have cried in the corner at work yesterday. Our office was crazy busy and I was dealing with a lot of patient phone calls. I feel ya!
Today I was an emotional mess before my appointment. These hormones are no joke.

I had implanon a few years ago, and the crazy hormones made me weepy all the time, so we were almost positive I would react the same way to pregnancy, but it's been quite the opposite. I keep saying really harsh things (whatever is on my mind comes out now) to my dogs and sometimes husband. And at the movie theater the other day, I started griping very loudly outside the bathroom about how some "effing disgusting woman" had shoved a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet. Basically I have anger + no filter.

I am super weepy. And have some intense road rage, which is really out of character for me. Nauseous pregnant lady ain't got NO patience for sitting in traffic.

Yesterday I cried way too much, and pretty much at anything that went bad. Stubbed my toe? Cried. Watched a sappy movie? Cried. Had to reprimand a student? Cried in my office later.

I got sooo frustrated this morning with DS for the past few weeksish he's been waking up crying and will not sleep. We coslept a bit but then he woke up again and was crying and crying I got so frustrated I put him back in his crib and laid down on the bed in his room. I feel so guilty for letting him cry it out it wasn't longer than 5-10 minutes but still that's only the first or second time I've done that to him. I was just so tired and I'm really annoyed at getting woken up every few hours whether it he baby, dogs, husband w/e I just want uninterrupted sleep

To all you ladies beating yourselves up for yelling at your kiddos - hugs. It happens, it feels awful and shitty but what's amazing about these kids of ours is that telling them, 'sorry mommy yelled. You didn't deserve that and I was just in a bad mood' magically transforms them into our allies. You'll get a hug and a kiss and they get to learn that adults aren't perfect either. Y'all do great work and a bad moment is just that ... a moment.

as for @briala, sleep deprivation is the pits. I've been pushed to the brink where I've yelled at a 6 week old baby in frustration - my toddler was in the bath, I had been shuttling back and forth between the baby and the toddler, afraid the toddler would drown as I hopped back and forth between the two of them (I was solo parenting) and remember yelling at my BABY (who yells at a baby?), 'WILL YOU JUST GO TO SLEEP?!' and shaking the crib with anger. That's when I decided I was out of control and walked out of his room and let him cry until I had the toddler out of the bath and in pajamas and then came back and nursed him and soothed him back to the sleep. It was an ugly moment in parenting - but sometimes letting your kiddo cry while you get control of your emotions is better than the alternative. You did good, mama. You were still there but you took a moment to get yourself together. There are such worse ways to handle that.

Weepiness has defined this pregnancy for me... and I am SO NOT a crier. But man, every little thing has me misting up these days.

Briala · June 2016

The sleep deprivation is so hard I remembe rjust begging him to stop crying and go to sleep! Luckily after the 10 minutes he calmed down and fell back asleep I just told him I loved him and I was sorry and just fell back asleep. I can't wait to not be tired all the time

We were at a birthday party recently and DH & his friend were making a series of jokes that were hilarious. I started laughing so hard that I was crying. And then I could not stop crying and felt super sad. So I was making an ugly cry face while trying to pull it together. It was ridiculous. I almost told DH that we needed to leave.

Luckily the the lighting was low (outside in the evening) and everyone else had been drinking a decent amount, but still. So awkward

I was being a lurk this morning in F17, and posted these in there, thinking it was J17. Whoops! At any rate, I'm gonna post them my ACTUAL J17 BMB.

I cried watching this grocery store commercial last night.

I also cried watching that video about the triplets that love their garbage men and meet them on the driveway every garbage day.

My husband thinks I am ridiculous. Haha.
