Only really when it comes to my looks since being pregnant. I also have a lot of deep rooted self esteem issues. I've dated some crappy men in the past. One I was with for 3 years and he left cause he "couldn't date a fat girl" and the other just straight cheated. I also have a mother who makes comments about how "I let myself go" .....I'm dealing with it in therapy. It's just a long process. I think my pregnancy hormones just amplify everything more so since I hit the third trimester. I was not like this in my 1st or 2nd. I have an appointment June 25th to talk about maybe upping my meds or what I should do in that area but a therapy appointment June 3rd. So I'm definitely able to talk about it with people. Like I know its irrational and I never act on it or freak or act crazy about my fears. Just a thought that runs through my head when I look in the mirror and see my huge stretch marks. Like deep down I know he loves me and would never do any of that. I just get weepy sometimes and seeing my stretch marks and the extra weight makes me feel gross. I've never felt pretty when pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-since-3rd-trimester#post-2885397 Thu, 23 May 2019 09:26:06 +0000 Pollywog 2885397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like anxiety. I know hormones make my anxiety skyrocket and several moms I know have had to either take meds for anxiety or have their anxiety meds adjusted during pregnancy and postpartum.</p> <p>You say you are seeing a psychiatrist soon. How soon? If it is more than a week I would call your therapist, explain what is going on, and ask for help to be seen sooner.</p> <p>Hugs. Pregnancy is so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-since-3rd-trimester#post-2885392 Thu, 23 May 2019 08:44:31 +0000 jennlin821 2885392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The crying sounds normal. I'm not a crier AT ALL, but my whole pregnancy I was a weepy mess, usually from a tv commercial! (My husband is a PT, and he would adjust my back during pregnancy... one time he did it and I burst into tears for no reason. It didn't hurt, it was not unusual, I just cried. He felt bewildered and terrible, but it had nothing to do with him or even me! :grin: )</p> <p>As for the insecurity you are feeling, that sounds a bit extreme. Its becoming intrusive into your life and you could probably use some help there. It sounds like anxiety, which can absolutely be hormone fueled, but I would seek help about this. No reason to feel so awful if you don't have to. </p> <p>Lots of love... your body is doing something amazing for the THIRD time. Give it all the help it needs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emotional-since-3rd-trimester#post-2885389 Thu, 23 May 2019 08:20:52 +0000 cyoung 2885389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oof so sorry for all the recent questions. This place just seems to give more sound advice. </p> <p>Since 27 weeks I've been super emotional. Some background though ...I am bipolor and back on my meds. I am seeing a therapist and I'm seeing my psychiatrist soon. I'm doing play in that area. However I don't feel like this is anything to do with that...I hope. I'm mostly weepy. I cry so easily. Be it stressful things to happy things like looking at a cute baby onesie. Idk if this is normal. It was NOT like this in my other pregnancies. </p> <p>I'm also super insecure and that makes the wanting to cry worse. I dont feel attractive when I'm pregnant. It's my 3rd pregnancy and I have stretch marks, extra skin and feel huge. Not magical or beautiful at all. I keep thinking my husband will leave me cause I'm so big and "fat" I wasnt thin before so it's just worse. He has never gave me any cause to doubt him and he is amazing and I love him and I know he loves me. We have a great marriage. I'm just almost paranoid and that's so not like me. I control it pretty good but some days I just want to cry. </p> <p>Does this sound like normal 3rd trimester hormones or should I be more concerned? I'm just worried it's my mental illness. </p>
