How do you know when it is just "hormones" and when you are justified in feeling like you do?

I've been a mess for the past week now.

I'm just done with everything and everybody.

I feel like I am constantly on the go with work, my 2 yr old DS, being pg, and life in general and I just
need a break.

I don't want to make the effort to be nice and civil to people anymore. not to my coworkers, especially not to DH.

I just want to be a beyotch.

How do you know when it's your hormones and you need to control yourself, and when you can just let it all out and be godzilla?

If you figure it out let me know!

Yesterday I was saying how I don't want to talk to anybody.
I don't want my friends calling, I don't want to speak with my family, i just want to go home every night and lay on the couch and be left alone

I'm cranky as all heck, I cry at the least little thing- I can cry right now if I want.


I just hope it's hormonal and not me becoming a horrid beyotch.

Always blame the hormones. It's so much easier than actually admitting we have to control our tempers. Heck...we only have 40 weeks to play the pregnancy card.

It's a fine line! I can not deal with certain people during this pregnancy, one of them is my Dad I rarely answer when he calls bc he just irritates me and I don't want to be nasty to him. I feel so bad but I know it's hormones. I've been snapping at DH the past 2 days which I never do. I feel like you, I don't want to be civil to people anymore

Maybe you just need a break? Can you take an evening and go out with your girlfriends to a movie? Just doing something for YOU. It helps recharge the batteries and then it won't all feel so heavy. I hope it gets better soon!

first of all, im sure you are always justified! you are a working mom, expecting another baby. Life aint so easy right now

its probably propelled by hormones but that doesnt dismiss the feelings or make them any less legit! just know that everything will pass and you will get through it and soon that LO will be here

I could've written this post myself. I was so awful yesterday that my DH stopped talking to me. I was fine until he walked in the door, then everything he did annoyed me. I have NO IDEA why.

I was going to ask you girls if that was normal b/c I feel so bad today for acting the way I did yesterday.

This moodiness has taken over

Re: How do you know when it is just "hormones" and when you are justified in feeling like you do?

I think you just have to go with how you feel. it is too hard to control. yesterday i told my mom i didn't feel like seeing ANYONE until this baby is born because i'm sick of talking about how i look and when the baby is coming. i was a super grump. oh well. i think most people have to understand it comes with the territory....especially when you are working and have another kids too.

Re: How do you know when it is just "hormones" and when you are justified in feeling like you do?

i hear you!! i find myself getting angry over things i wouldnt get angry over pre-pregnancy

and there are other times where i get so frustrated and annoyed over things that make me want to cry & i think to myself, "am i really getting like this??" lol

i blame the hormones!
