Arrggg...seriously my emotions are so extreme and all over the board with this pregnancy and it's driving me crazy! I can't even imagine what it looks like from an outsiders view

I can't even differentiate between what I'm rationally sad/angry/happy about and what I'm being completely dramatic about until I look a back at it hours later and want to crawl under a rock. How do you guys control you emotions maybe there is some kind of excersize I'm not doing or maybe I'm doomed to have no friends

Can anybody else at least relate???

I can totally relate. I feel like my reactions to things are way over the top. Like you said, hours later I look back and feel really badly about how I acted. I just don't feel like myself sometimes, so I know it must be the hormones. This didn't really happen with my last pregnancy so it kind of took me by surprise. If anyone has any ideas on how to deal with this I would love to hear them as well..

I am there, too! Really bad just in the last couple of weeks...I'm sure DH thinks I'm a nutcase because especially in the anger department I'm way over the top. And then I start crying, and I can't figure out what it is that I'm even upset about. I didn't get this way at all with DS, so maybe it's a subsequent pregnancy thing. Either that or the added stress of being super patient with a toddler is just doing me in. I have been so impatient with DS that it makes me feel crazy. All of this reminds me of when my mom and I would have a huge ridiculous shouting fight when I was in middle school or early high school. Then, a few hours later, we'd both get our periods and apologize! It's like hormones make you completely irrational for a time.

We'll still be your friends!

Hormones are crazy little things...

Are you drinking red raspberry leaf tea? I have heard wonderful things about it and I'm drinking it every day myself.

Also, treat yourself to an ice cream and a pedicure one of these days...it's amazing what hot bubblies and pretty nails can do for one's mood.

I have had huge successes with acupuncture. I'm 18wks and last week I was so emotional. When I went to my acupuncture appointment I told her about it. Much to my delight she helped and my emotions have been in check over the last few days. Exercise has really helped as well. We take our dogs to the woods for walks and then swim in the river. Those are some of my best days. I hope that helps. Good luck to everyone.
