Quote From: psychwife2Bless you...you are going through a very big change in your life! Not only are you getting ready to bring a child into your life, you are suffering from additional physical problems as well.
Don't dismiss hormonal changes, however. Pregnancy is a very difficult time and hormones really do play a very big part. During my first pregnancy, I used to cry at the drop of a hat...but lucky for me, my husband was going through his residency in Psychiatry and his advisor was a woman. She told him at the very beginning to be aware of my emotional roller coaster and encouraged him to ride that coaster along with me...and I'm sure that if you are open and honest with your husband about your feelings, he will be more than happy to do the same.
But most importantly, you have sought help and I encourage you to keep your appointment and use this time to help yourself find a way to cope with all the changes going on with you right now.
This board is a great way to vent and to find support....Welcome!! I look forward to hearing from you and I want to encourage you to stay in touch. It is always nice to know that you're not alone!
Thank you so much for replying to me! I didn't think that someone would actually take the time to read what I wrote! It feels so good to have someone tell me they felt the same way! My husband is very supportive, however he gets tired of it all I'm sure! I think it is hard for him to understand what is wrong, when half the time I don't even know what's wrong! It's so frustrating! He asked me last night, "are we gonna be happy again?" I know that if I can get through this I will be happy again, and in turn he'll be happy again. It just seems soooooooo far away.
I am looking forward to my appointment! I have studied psychology for years myself, and know that this isn't healthy. I am hoping that in some time, this will all be in the past!
