so emotional, just need to get it off my chest

[majormajor]

i'm guessing i'm not the only one.

i just can't stop crying today! i'm so upset about the cyclone in myanmar and the earthquake in china, and all of the other bad things going on in the world. early this morning on one of those morning talk shows there were two couples from the FLDS raid in texas talking about how thier kids are in CPS custody (some are babies!) and they can only see them once a week for an hour (if at all), and it just broke my heart. i mean, could you imagine?? ugh. i've always been sensitive to these kinds of things, but being 9 months pregnant makes it hard to not get all emotional. and i don't feel like talking about it with anyone in real life... i don't know why. because they're not pregnant too and i don't want anyone to be all "aww you're just pregnant, it's ok.. blah blah blah"

i probably shouldn't even post this, i don't want to upset anyone else. but i do want someone to tell me i'm not crazy and i'll feel better in the morning.

Well then I'll be pregnant and emo with you. The kids asked me today why all the flags were half staff. I assumed it was because of the mentioned tragedies...and told them about it. It is really sad, and I always kindof compare the numbers given to the the world trade towers tradgedy to get a feel for what the entire country is going thru. My 12 year old really is starting to grasp it. It's some other land and other people that are imaginary to the other kids. I had to turn off the news lately, just catch a short clip of it in the morning now instead of watching the whole 4 hour program, it just gets me too down. I pray about it and that helps me release some of my sadness. I hope you feel more up soon mama

it's hard sometimes to be going through our OWN emotional process and then have so much of the outside world hit us too. I empathize....as compassionate mothers already, our emotions are definitely more in tune with the pain of the world. that's a good thing in the grand spectrum....I'd rather care than not.

hugs mama.

I sobbed all day too, maybe it's in the air?

You're not crazy and I do hope you feel better.
Those hormones up our sensitivity level to the strotosphere. Sometimes the world and in particular the news is just too much for us right now...
