Insanely Depressed
By SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 24, 2015 10:00am - 305 views - 7 comments

Today, I'm feeling super depressed. I've been crying most the morning. There's plenty of reasons why, but I'm not going to go there and get into them. Well, plus, I'm pretty sure pregnancy hormones are playing a huge role.

On another note, I really miss my husband - who's working, and my kids - who are all in school for the first day today.

I am hoping the rest of this day can make a turn around - but all I want to do right now is sleep! How did everyone's weekend go?

I will probably ask my doctor to put me back on anti anxiety meds when these babies come. She really wants me to focus on eating better and thinks that will "cure" or help my anxiety but I can't eat right in the first place when I feel so anxious and stressed. My anxiety stems from thinking about the future but now I am starting to get excited even though I know raising two children and taking care of two newborns is going to be tough! Oh well, went from being single to a ready made family with 4 kids. I didn't lose my mind then so I shouldn't lose my mind now. I know what you mean the way you feel scaring you. None of my thinking was rational when I would get into a funk. The loss of control sucks too! But brighter days are always ahead!
	Comment from SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 24, 2015 11:48am I agree, Mal! I am enjoying being pregnant for the most part - especially since this will be my last child, I really want to embrace every minute of this pregnancy - sickness and all. However, the hormones and mood swings and crying uncontrollably are all things I could totally do without! I have yet to get pregnancy brain, but give it time. LOL I will be right there with ya, girl!

	Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Aug. 24, 2015 11:35am Pregnancy can be a real b!tch, haha. Hormones are brutal. If you're anything like me you'll have your up and down days. I think it's just all part of it.

	Comment from SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 24, 2015 11:18am I'm so sorry you had to go through dealing with this as well. I too have anxiety and panic attacks - that plus ongoing depression problems is just so not a good mixture. It's a recipe for disaster, no doubt! I am so glad it's calmed down a lot for you! I'm hoping at some point it will calm down for me too, because the way I felt today really scared me, to be honest. I don't like feeling that helpless or depressed or sad. Not that anybody does - but it had me terrified. I am trying to get motivated enough to move around the house, get some cleaning done, take a walk with my dog and hope the sunshine helps.
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted Aug. 24, 2015 10:59am Pregnancy hormones are crazy! I had a rough summer with all of my hormones. I'd be crying one day, angry the next, happy after that. Recently, they've all calmed down and I don't feel like running away each day. It's also fun with you pair hormones with anxiety! Nothing like thinking you are going crazy!
