I'm feeling really down and overwhelmed. I've had a relatively easy pregnancy so far (15+6 today) and DH is super supportive. I do a very long commute (5 hrs a day) and am tired but I'm feeling utterly overwhelmed at the moment.
By way of context: I'm 39 yo and relatively recently had a change of heart re kids. Been on the fence for a few years but in 20s was dead set against. I'm really happy about this PG and am excited and terrified in equal measure.
We moved house in September from one side of the country to the other and have yet to make friends locally - too busy running around and working
Also, I had a v difficult relationship with DM who passed away a year ago this Sunday. DH is currently stateside with work, as he was a year ago and I'm really really wobbly.
I've had a few 'moments' of feeling overwhelmed and almost panicked over the past few weeks but been able to move past it. This morning on the way to work I couldn't get past a sense of foreboding and as soon as I got home tonight I just burst into tears. I'm scared.
I dunno if this is AND or just human anxiety triggered by all of the above - its been quite a ride in the last year
Maybe I just need a hand to hold...
(now I sound needy - sorry)
Anyone still here? Any words of wisdom?
