Anyone else here really struggling with their emotions and hormones? I’m 29 weeks and for my whole pregnancy About once a week I’ll have a massive mental breakdown, feeling so sad and overthinking absolutely everything.. I feel like everything is falling apart but it doesn’t even make sense to me and I can’t even explain what it is I just feel lost and sad and emotional and it’s really getting to me. Especially when I overthink, I feel like one day I’m feeling so good and my thoughts get in the way and just go CRAZY!!!! Can anyone else relate because I feel like I’m the only one and I genuinely feel like I am going crazy and something is wrong with me and I need help

i’m feeling this 100%. 28 weeks now. every day is a roller coaster but i’m just trying to be kind to myself for feeling everything. our bodies are doing so much!

for my anxiety i do meditation and breathing exercises to regulate the nervous system. and when i’m feeling really awful i’ll take a long hot shower or do some journaling. the anxiety has been out of control my entire pregnancy so i’ve been going thru the motions for a few months, and even before pregnancy i had really bad anxiety and depression too.

let yourself feel everything! and journaling def helps me with getting all my feelings out on to paper- also love the Day One app if you’re not into physical journaling.

This has been happening to me too! It was very bad in second trimester. Almost no breaks of being hormonal, sad, depressed, anxious etc. now I’m in the third trimester, 31 week tomorrow. I had about two weeks of feeling happy, normal, not snappy etc but this week I have been crying a lot, not motivated to do anything, hormonal, snappy and Just not myself. It sucks but I know it’s the hormones acting up. Today I made it a priority to workout, put most tasks after work/school for our five year old on my husbands plate and allow myself to relax in the Sun and read. It really helped and I had a calmer feeling night. But! Just wanted you to know you’re not alone ♥️♥️

Im not sure that in my case it’s hormones but I do feel depressed these days, im 35+4, but I mostly blame it on insomnia, all kinds of pain and tiredness in general. Im exhausted physically and emotionally and all I wanna do is stay sad in bed and be left alone 😅

28 weeks today and I’ve been having a mental breakdown for the last two days. I’ve been crying a lot lately over simple things, so it wasn’t too bad at first but the last 2 days I’ve been thinking way too much about old things, insecurities, anxieties, all of it. We’re literally feeling the exact same thing

Im 30 weeks tomorrow and I’ve been feeling this hardcore. With the stress of my job and impending maternity leave with no pay as well as my coworkers treating me differently and many other things I’m breaking down more than usual. I try to remind myself that this is all hormones and it will get better eventually but some days are definitely worse than others.

This started for me towards the end of my second trimester. I’m almost 30 weeks now and still have been struggling some days. Feelings of depression, anxiety etc. I swear it has to be hormones. I’ve always experienced anxiety at times but not depression so feeling that way is so scary for me. I started reading again, switched up my diet a bit, yoga and I want to start journaling again. Definitely trying to switch my routine up and keep busy because when I start to feel down I’ll lay around and my mind spirals and it makes it SOOO much worse. You’re not alone. Keep pushing 🙌🏼💙

I would definitely bring it up to your doctor. My job (call center) was really starting to stress me out which started messing with my blood pressure, on top I’m having insomnia now so my doc prescribed me something to help me sleep and lowered my working hours to 4 hrs per day. Also I was told that if there was anxiety/depression before the pregnancy its a higher change of getting postpartum depression. This forum helps me alot it makes me feel like Im not alone with what I’m experiencing. I go on here every night. Stay positive you’re almost at the finish line and once you hold your precious little baby you’ll feel alot better 🤗

We are all feeling this if not all most of us! I’m 35+1 and I have roller coaster emotion! 😩 I honestly love this app and group discussions bc when I feel lost or alone I jump on here and remember that I’m not and we as women go through this together 🫶🏻

What helps me in times of this I’ll cry and let it out but snap out of it and take deep breaths and remind yourself you got this! 🥲

I’ve been a mess this pregnancy. We have an almost 2 year old and I can’t get excited about having two under two. I’m so uncomfortable and just want my life back. I feel like I cry daily and have so much anxiety about delivery and how I’ll manage two kids.

I’m on antidepressants and followed by a perinatal behavioral therapist. Already having depression/anxiety is hard on it’s own then throw in pregnancy.
