Hormonal Mess

[Mummy2bebe]

I have 9 weeks left.. and I am an emotional wreck.

I've felt I've had antenatal depression throughout, but don't want to talk to anyone as I don't want the label (anyone else like me? stubborn, doesn't want to admit to depression or to open up?)

Anyway, I'm not trying to be depressive.. but seriously..

• the vivid dreams
• the argumentative side
• the cry at bloody anything
• the worrying
• feeling unprepared
• knowing the dad doesn't want the child with me
• EVERYTHING

It's all so much... Someone cheer me up with a bit of sarcasm or a stupid story!? Or a positive story!? Anything before I loose my sh**...

I just cried because I couldn't open the marmite. Then I realised we had a new jar (first one almost empty) but I couldn't open that one either so I cried again.

Me? Hormonal mess? I don't know what you mean!

There's no shame in talking to someone. And you don't have to tell anyone else either. Get the support you need.

Not sure if my story helps with your overall situation but at least you can laugh at how ridiculous I am!

Haha trust me, I think it just helps to know that there are other people crying out there.

I've sobbed non-stop today and it's so irritating!

Did you get your marmite open? I'd definitely cry too if that were my craving.

DH managed to open the marmite but by then I only had the crusts of my toast left. Managed to hold it together enough not to cry at that but only just.

I cry at all sorts of things to be honest and I'm sure it will get worse. Only 24 weeks at the moment.

You're not the only one. If you're really struggling mention it to your midwife. Sometimes though, getting through the day is achievement enough and that's ok.
