Doom and Gloom
Anyone else having major hormones right now?
I'm 15+5 weeks and all weekend been feeling really gloomy. It started Saturday night, had had a nice day with a friend coming over with my belated birthday presents and spending lots of quality time with my two year old. But as the evening went on, I felt more and more gloomy, so assumed it was hormones and tiredness went to bed.
Woke up Sunday feeling just as bad which continued throughout the day, had a sleep when my son had his nap, and woke up feeling worse, aching all over and struggled to motivate myself!
Now this morning I'm in work, but really don't want to be here! I'm not teary just feel really down, struggling to motivate myself and just feel like everyone's lives are better than mine!

I ended up going for a walk round the local park, on my own, and found the fresh air and gentle exercise did make me feel a bit better - and i hate all forms of exercise so this was something of a miracle!
Sorry i can't give you any major advice, other than I'm sure this will pass and you'll feel better soon - if it doesnt lift tho maybe have a chat with your midwife or GP - sometimes just off loading to someone who's not emotionally attached to you can do wonders.
Take care

yes the hormones are like a rollercoaster aren't they? One minute i'm super happy and everything is wonderful and the next i'm cross because...it's raining, the cat's made a mess, Addison has dropped her breakfast on the floor, it's the wrong day of the week, home and away isn't on as it's summer break...etc etc. I definitely blame this weather as well. it's so god damned depressing for august!!
Do you get much exercise? i do quite a bit and it always makes me feel good.
hope you feel better soon
