Hey, first time poster but have been on mumsnet a while! I don’t know if anyone has been in this situation but the last couple of days I’ve been really stressed out with certain things like work and stuff, I had a bit of a breakdown the beginning of the week. Everything got on top of me and I just let it all out, I had a panic attack so crying and couldn’t breathe and I got frustrated so at one point I slammed the door and it didn’t close all the way so then I banged it really hard a couple of times with my hands to get closed all the way and this is so unlike me I couldn’t be further than who I am, I’m usually really chilled out and take things in my stride but the stressed just piled up and I had a little bit of a break down for a little while. I was much better after a sleep and able to rationalise with myself after feeling really overwhelmed and I’m well and truly ashamed of myself for over reacting the way I did and because it’s not me at all. So I’m a bit worried that being that stressed for a little while isn’t good and letting it get on top of me when I’m usually so laid back, maybe hormones and so on too but I just feel like such a bad person for being stressed while pregnant and crying and panicking and slamming doors, please don’t judge just want to know I’m not alone while being pregnant and feeling stressed at one point 😔

Hi OP hope your feeling better now, pregnancy is weird and your hormones can be all over the place. Can you maybe take some time off work possibly on the sick, if it's work causing stress it might be good to go off for a while, just looking after yourself keep yourself a priority.

23 weeks here! Feeling ok now, but a couple of weeks ago I burst into tears at an off the cuff remark in an email that I would normally have found funny!

I'm finding it a challenging time at the moment as time is going very slowly but also very quickly... If that makes sense...? It's another big gap between scans/appointments etc and I've got some stuff ready, but not everything, but I don't know if it's enough, I like to plan, but know you can't plan for everything... haha... Yeah...sort of stressed but coping.
