Holy emotions Batman!

[Ashburn]

I know we are working on getting weekly/day threads up and running but I had to post something.

I am unequipped to deal with the emotions running through me right now.  My last pregnancy was NOTHING like this.... at all.  I got mad about something and I am like flying off the handle and can feel the anger radiating out.  Then yesterday I was about in tears because I wanted some milk.  Like, what the eff is wrong with me.  These hormones are wicked. Is anyone else about to take their spouse out when they get just a tiny bit irritated? Or am I the only nut job here.  lol.

I'm not overly angry, but I am constantly choking back tears for the tiniest dumbest things. I haven't been getting any sleep, and yesterday at work I wanted to take a nap so bad I almost started crying. Like tears were welling.

I have been crying at everything. I backed out of a work commitment this weekend because a former employee who treated me very badly is going to be there and I knew I wouldn't be able to stay calm. Luckily, it's not a big deal if I don't go and now I get Sunday off.

My only really emotional reaction so far was the day I got my BFP and was, only a few hours later, offered a promotion with the expectation that I'd relocate my family across country. Oddly enough, I didn't cry or get mad. I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd it was.

I have been crying over just about everything this time. I swear I wasn't like this last time, I was like floating on cloud 9! What the heck! I have been wondering if this was a normal thing or if I was going crazy. My kid gave me a kiss and I teared up this morning...

Yea I keep crying at commercials and every darn Disney movie DD wants to watch.

I'm with a lot of you. I've been crying at the silliest things! The other day I was riding with my cousin and I saw a sad old man at a bus stop and I started crying cause he looked so sad and I was worried he was all alone! I mean don't get me wrong sad old people have always made me sad but I was crying actual alligator tears!

I haven't been crying at all, but I've been flying off the handle and every little thing. But then again, AF does this to me every month do it makes sense that so does pregnancy.

I was holding back tears at library story time today. No good reason, well my head hurts, and I just thought I was going to start crying.

This time is nothing like with DD. So much harder.

I just watched the Parenthood series finale. It would have made me cry normally but today it turned me into a sobbing mess.

I haven't had the emotional for no reason stuff yet. Fun story...with DS I was out for a walk and DH told me his training for work got switched and he couldn't go on our vacation. I started sobbing and sat down in the middle of the road. The middle of the damn road!!!! I refused to get up so DH dragged me into the grass. I sat there sobbing until I started getting bit by ants, lol. Absolutely ridiculous!

doodler parenthood has been the source of a lot of sobs for me the last 2 weeks. Even before my BFP! I'm behind... mid season 5 on Netflix.

I also have gotten oddly angry at how they all have at least 1 boy 1 girl, I'm on the crazy train with this one.

Oh, just wait. FYI season 6 isn't on netflix but it was still on demand for me.

My last pregnancy I made many, many, major breakdowns. Usually about food (damnit dunkin donuts why can't you EVER get an order right?!?). And getting dressed in the morning. And going to social outings without booze. And when my co-worker told me my pants were getting tight. I CRIED A LOT OK.


This time around, even though it's still very early, I have been very even keeled.

[doublehammock]

doodler I cried watching Parenthood when I wasn't pregnant. I can't imagine.

Man I miss that show.

I'm not weepy yet but the irritation is hovering under the surface. Everything has me annoyed and choking down the urge to snap on someone. I don't think it was until 8 or 9 weeks last time when I would start bawling over songs on the radio...and not ballads, like club/top 40 stuff. Hormones, man.

[bluedot]

That song: "The house that built me," got me everytime last pregnancy.

Me too! It's fairly out of character for me but suddenly I'm a jerk inside.

I feel you. I cry at the littlest things. Commercials! ugh

Last time I was just so ragey. A guy cut me off and I actually followed him for a good 3 miles, into a Walmart parking lot. I have no idea what I meant to do (I sat there staring at his car for a minute and then drove off) but it was like my rage was out of control. Not one of my finer moments.

So yeah, you are definitely not the only crazy one

I'm totally fine. I may have cried twice today before 9am, but it's fine.
