Not sure where you are but there are specially trained midwives where I am (UK) that deal with women that have depression, its more common than you think. Have a google to see if there is anyone in your area like that. Hope you feel better soon :(

I think perhaps most of your problems stem from your lack of sleep. You said you get up 8 times a night to pee. Thats not a good rest, so it makes sense that you have very little patience, are exhausted and cranky. A suggestion is perhaps try not drinking anything an hour or so before bed. And also let your family know it is very important for you to nap. Hopefully this weekend you can get some rest. Also check with your doctor re UTI, in the event that your excessive trips to the bathroom are the result of an infection. Everyones pregnancy is different. You dont haveto apologize for the way you feel. Other peoples journeys are irrelevant to yours. Hope you feel better soon.

despite feeling like shit all the time, causes alot of distress for those of us that just cant do that some days. I don't say any of this to devalue anyone that is having a rough pregnancy or finally got pregnant after years of trying, just to illustrate that all pregnancies are different, as are all women's feelings about being pregnant. Growing another human being is a hard job! You're allowed to be cranky about it sometimes, even if you got here completely on purpose. No one has a right to tell you how you should feel about it, based on their own experience. They are not you! But i agree with Bostonmamma, you will probably start to feel better in the second trimester, and until then, just try to remember what the final outcome of all this will be, a beautiful little baby! That's what keeps me going :-)

I can relate to what you're feeling. On the one hand, I'm so happy to finally have a pregnancy go longer than 7 weeks or so, but on the other hand, some days i just feel like "what was i thinking?". This pregnancy has been alot harder, symptom wise, than my last two. I realize there are many, many women out there that would kill to be pregnant at all, regardless of symptoms, and that makes me feel bad for having my own little pity party about how i feel, but then i have to remember that their experiences with pregnancy don't make mine any less important to me. If you have days where you feel completely miserable, that's ok! Just because someone else is having a harder time, doesn't mean your feelings don't count. Sites like this are supposed to be for ALL pregnant women to get support and friendship, regardless of how their pregnancies are going or how they feel about them. The belief that some women have, that you should prance around happy, 24/7, (continued)...

Well, I am not sure if you are the one who posted this on the CTP side, but I have some friends still over on that side that seemed pretty steamed up about either a journal entry or question like this. I felt pretty bad for them reading something like that. Still do....but I am no comfort because I am pregnant myself and am now an outsider over on the CTP side.
I am not sure what to say to this honestly....I wish I only had your problems in pregnancy. I have an 8cm blood clot next to my baby that is over my cervix causing me to bleed every day. I have to go for ultrasounds every week...never knowing if my baby will live to viability. Try dealing with that every day of your pregnancy. Its awful. With all that said, I dont hate being pregnant.....I am grateful....but hate having a blood clot.
All I can say is second trimester should be better for you in regards to the moodiness and emotions you feel.
