Bees, help me, please!! I'm having a serous case of the third trimester rage!! I've been in a bad mood for three days now, alternating between wild fury which makes me want to smash things up and weeping pathetically. I have been unable to get to sleep at night because I'm lying there seething (about this and that - little stuff) - until the anger has turned to sadness and I've sobbed myself to sleep (two nights in a row).

My husband is fast losing patience with me. I feel like I'm trying to drive him away. He really, honestly doesn't understand, even though I've tried to explain that this is quite common for pregnant ladies to be a bit over-the-top, I'm probably just hormonal etc. I've also told him what's underpinning my upset but despite that he keeps asking me "what's wrong?" every time I get tearry (with more than a hint of weariness in his voice). I feel for him though - he has a health condition which means he has to take medication which makes him feel sick for a couple of days and right now he's trying to lie in bed and rest.... and I'm sat next to him, crying (hardly restful, huh?). He has turned over and is playing games on his phone (as usual) - and I want to snatch it out of his hand and throw it at the wall!

The main thing that's bothering me is frustration - pure and simple. I'm in so much pain. My pelvis has all but fallen apart. The midwife said there's nothing that can be done. She did suggest a bump support belt but I bought one today and it just squashes my bump and the hip pain continues. Walking more than a few steps is agonizing. Getting up from a seated position hurts. Bending down to pick something up hurts. Getting up and down the stairs hurts..... I'm just so frustrated - my house is a tip and I want to clean it but I physically can't. Every time I go into a room I'm furious because I want it to be clean and it's not. I'm sick of the piles of clean laundry on my dining table but I can't carry them upstairs because it takes two hands for me to get myself up there! My hubby has already mentioned that he feels like I'm not doing my share around the house so I can hardly ask him to do more - and besides, he's lying in bed feeling sick anyway.

I know my reaction is totally out of proportion to what's actually going on. I mean, come on, it's a bit of hip pain which goes away when I'm sitting down. I should just relax - but I can't seem to stop seething about anything and everything! We're going to BIL's 4 day wedding celebrations next week and I'm dreading it. I'm going to be fat and waddly, look like a sweaty, grimacing mess and probably be in pain the entire time. Plus I can hardly eat anything now due to my GD - not sure how I'm going to cope. I should just ignore the mess in the house but I can't - I'm so frustrated!!!!! Plus, we've had a lot to spend out on for this wedding (travel, kennels for dogs, gifts, outfits) plus our shower had to be replaced this month and my car needed new brakes so I can't afford to get the pedicure I'd promised myself - and I can't reach my toenails myself! ARGH! They currently look awful and I'm wearing sandals to this wedding......

Help! How do I snap out of it??? I really need to pull myself together but I don't know how. What can I do????? I'm driving myself - and my hubby - crazy.....

(ps - thanks for letting me rant)
