I hate everyone!

Hi everyone!! This is my first post so take it easy on me. I am 27, happily married, moving to Lichfield (Staffordshire) in Feb 16' and 6-8 weeks approx. pregnant (waiting on 1st scan) and right now everyone seems to be getting on my nerves.

I am usually the happiest, most timid person in the world and I usually enjoy going to the cinema with my husband, its like our "get away from reality" and although people can be a little irritating sometimes when eating their popcorn or going on their phone from time to time, it does not usually bother me.

But this afternoon I kept imagining doing terrible things to these people. A girl sat a few seats away kept going on her phone every 10 minutes all the way through and I could see myself launching at her, tearing the phone from her fat stinking fingers and throwing the phone across the cinema. Then I had to stop myself boxing with my chair and screaming in the girls face behind me who was ever so slightly tapping her feet against my chair.

Usually I am such a placid person and I am pleased to say that I have the ability to hold back from doing such awful things, but its like I am in my own "the secret life of Walter Mitty" film. If you have seen it you will know what I mean. I'm wondering if anyone else feels like this or whether I should cart myself off to a psychiatric ward pretty sharpish?!?! I am hoping it is not the latter, but I look forward to hearing other stories if you have any!

Also, if there is anybody else in the midlands area who is in a similar situation to me it would be lovely to hear from you. pregnancy can be a bit daunting sometimes.

I'm not in the midlands, but my early-pregnancy rage was spectacular. I managed not to lose it at anyone (except for one road rage incident) but EVERYTHING irritated me. It'll pass!

Me too! I actually laughed when I read that because I feel the same about little irritating things people do 😂 It'll pass, it's just pregnancy hormones 😃

If it helps in all 4 of my pregnancies I absolutely HATE my dh and dc for the first trimester, how I have not murdered them and buried them under the patio I will never know, it does pass though!

Darling, if you feel the need to cart yourself off to the psych ward I have to say that you should probably take 95% of the pregnant population and maybe 99% of the 'normal' population.

None of us are 'normal'. Welcome to the world! I kind of think that when people get to this stage they are becoming human, ie WTAF is going on?

If you can answer that question you are indeed a goddess.

How I didn't smother OH in his sleep or stab him in the throat in the first few weeks I'll never know. And it is only by the grace of God that I didn't throttle my boss! So yeah, it's totally normal! I don't often feel like that now!

Well thats a relief! I did have a inkling that it may have something to do with my hormones but I think we all require a little reassurance from time to time.

I don't think it helps the fact that I haven't had much of an appetite recently and then when I have fancied something as soon as I have it in front of me it makes me feel ill! Plus waking up every morning forgetting that I am pregnant and assuming I have woken up with a terrible hangover due to morning sickness hasn't helped.

Thank you everyone for your replies, I am still looking forward to hearing others stories if you have any? (I just got really pissed off with spellcheck) xx
