I am extremely exhausted. Tired enough to sit on the couch and fall asleep with ease. That in and of itself is uncommon for me. I feel slightly depressed. I feel like I am constantly hungry but I think that the hunger is a side affect of sorts. I have no motivation to do anything. Even taking care of my 2 kiddos is difficult. I don't have any patience. I have no desire to even think about what to have for dinner let alone cook. I feel like crying. I have felt this way before but this little stint has been going on since yesterday.

Does anyone else go through something like this?

Could be diet related. Eating a lot of junk will make you feel like that for sure.

Definitely try getting some Omega fatty acids, that might help a bit.

It could also be a normal reaction to pregnancy symptoms. It's hard to feel upbeat when you can't even lift your head off the pillow.

If the depression is so bad it's preventing you from functioning and you have tried the natural remedies (diet, supplements, exercise), see a doctor.

I'm with ya... but I'm so badly congested with sinus allergy funk going on ....
I sleep sitting in a chair any time of the day or night, my 3 yr old wakes me at 3am and then 5 am (new baby issues already??)

I have zero patience... and my 7 yr old just told me, I've been very selfish this pregnancy...... grrrr.

I've been forcing myself to clean up the house a fair bit, and keeping up with schooling the 7 yr old... but when it comes to meals... that's dh's problem... my only limitations are NO PORK!

My biggest trauma at the moment is my European MIL - has impolitely told dh that I'm very FAT.... and I was already having esteem issues in that department... so that isn't helping... *sigh*

I agree that if you feel it is really bad.... try the natural routes... and see a doctor.

Are you taking your prenatals or Vitamin B? I have found that when I start feeling really bad, I realize I need a couple of Vitamin B Dots and feel better within an hour or two. Sometimes it is also because I just need a good nap, if that is at all possible...Sorry to hear you are feeling so crummy! I am sending some good vibes your way......
