everything annoys me lately - FIXED

knottie5cf3430dec615a35 · July 2016

my mother lives with us and I'm 7 wks 1 day. Lately she's getting on my last nerve and I just want her to leave me alone. When I go silent (because I don't feel good or I just need alone time) She nags me as to why ...what's wrong....what can I do? My dad lives in another state and does this through texting and phone calls!

When I blame it on fatigue and being pregnant they go, "oh yeah...well thats cuz you're pregnant"...NO DUH!

All I want to do is to sit with my husband and just be. Just exist. Stop bothering me.

I realize I'm lucky and my mother has apparently never been good at leaving us have alone time (so says my sister), but sometimes you just need some alone time. I don't know.Maybe it's just my hormones freaking out but I'm so frustrated with the constant nagging.

Update: I think I'm dealing with depression. I am still annoyed by everything and more now. My first appt is in 2 days (7/21) and I will be discussing my feelings with my doctor.

Please don't repreimand me if my symptoms are different than yours. Thank you for listening and helping me through this. We aren't alone.

Update: I spoke to my doctor and began seeing a therapist. No medication yet but talking had been helpful. Thank you everyone! This discussion can now be closed.

I say consider yourself lucky you have supportive and caring family. So many do not have this and yes while it is annoying it is clear they care.

I guess I don't see asking how you are and what they can do for you as nagging. Maybe try to change your perception

Go for a drive, go get some ice cream, take a nap. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a big problem.

I know I'm lucky I'm also 30 and need some privacy and space. I have to remember to retreat to my bedroom as needed lol

It's just annoying..sometimes you just want alone time, you know?

knottie5cf3430dec615a35 · July 2016

I spoke to my sister about it and she said our mother has never been good at leaving us alone when we needed alone time. I should be honest with her. I was. She received it well. Hopefully it'll get easier.

Honest to god that's how I knew I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Once EVERYTHING started to be annoying, I was like OMG I better take a pregnancy test! Just go ahead and be cranky for the remainder of your pregnancy. It's the only time you can get away with it!

Thank you!! You've validated my crankiness haha it's an excuse for a babymoon escape in a few months lolol

You want alone time? Don't live with your parents. Don't use pregnancy as an excuse to be a rag. You'll end up raising your child alone. Be thankful that you have caring people in your life, and show some appreciation. Jeez.

Depression is a bugger! Sorry you're dealing with it. I totally understand feeling cranky or irritable around the ones you love. Take some deep breaths, keep talking to your doctor and try not to be hard on yourself!
