Full of rage and hate! Help!

[MRLondon]

Hi all!

I’m seven weeks pregnant and I usually pride myself in being a calm, peaceful and positive person. But ... now I’m just spewing a load of anger and hatred for quite literally everyone! I mean it’s funny to observe the hormones at play, but I’m also trying to catch myself out but it’s tiring trying to fight it. Did anyone else get this angry and how did you snap out of it? Maybe I was never as calm and peaceful as I thought!! Maybe I just buried the truth deep down and now it’s all just bubbling to the surface - which means I’m actually just a terrible person! (Lol as you can see from the last few words, I’ve also become super paranoid about myself!) Please help - I’ve lost myself!!!!!

You have my sympathy- this was worse than the vomiting for me. Even though I did my beat to suppress it, it caused me issues at work. The good news is that it does pass. Definitely was more of a first trimester thing in my case.

I feel for you. I was the same throughout my pregnancy and beyond. DP came home from work every day and asked do you like me today? Most of time the answer was no and then I'd tell him all the things that he did that annoyed me (minuscule issues now I look back). Luckily he was very patient with me. It took me until DD was about 4 months to get back to my usual calm self. Sorry that's no help, hormones are the worst.

Well I guess it’s good to know things do eventually calm back down. Doesn’t help that in the last week we’ve had a leak in the kitchen, broken boiler, and a stolen catalytic converter! Need to meditate with positive thoughts!
