Emotional imbalance. Are you too?

Question

I’m so tired from this emotional imbalance, one moment I’m super happy and the other moment my tears are running and having terrible thoughts. 
I talked to my doctor, and new moms. And they say this is normal cause it’s not who you are, or your personality. But I feel terrible towards my baby, cause I feel I need to be happy and talk to him instead of feeling this way. 
Are you experiencing this? What do you do about it? When would it go away? 
I’m so tired.

Answer

It’s normal I have had this on and off just know that when baby comes things will be different and be kind to yourself until they do. 🌸

Answer

TBH I don't talk about it with anyone really. My mom and husband know that I cry over basically everything with this pregnancy, but they don't know how awful I actually feel sometimes. I have suffered from severe depression since I was 12, so I'm no stranger to bad thoughts and such. What truly keeps me going are thinking of my daughter, my unborn daughter, my family, and it may sound silly, but also my cat and pup. If my thoughts go too dark, I will in fact allow myself to think about the aftermath if I were to follow through with something...how there is no way any amount of words could be enough as any last goodbyes to anyone in my life, friends or family or anyone. My daughter would be without a mom, my mom without a daughter, etc. My unborn daughter being stripped of the life my body and my husband and I are preparing for her, etc. 
I swear I am not a person who hurts themselves or anything like that, but I believe thoughts happen and it's wrong to put so much pressure on them as being a bad person. Life is tough and every single person is a warrior for each day they fight through any battles big or small that the might be facing. 
No matter how hard it can be sometimes to find the happy things in your day to day, don't stop trying to look for them. No matter how small it might seem. I look at my daughter and remember how incredibly lucky I am to have such an incredible tiny person with such an enormous personality who loves me regardless of any flaws. 
It is okay to be sad and emotional. It's okay to cry. It is completely okay to feel any way you feel, as long as you give yourself time to process each emotion and allow yourself to have time to one back. It's okay to be afraid to talk to people about how you're feeling as well because it can put more pressure on yourself. There are people on here like me who are here if you need to vent or if you need help processing. Don't be afraid to talk to your Dr though if it becomes too much. They can help.
Hang in there! 💛 You've got this!

Answer

Following. I’m in the same situation with no clue what to do. I took depression medicine before finding out I was pregnant but it isn’t very safe for my baby so I quit taking it.

Answer

I’m right there with you! It’s horrible, I’m tired of being sad. I’m tired of being happy one minute and sad the next. I’m really considering going to counseling. I know this pregnancy has a lot to do with my mood but I also know there’s other factors in my life that aren’t helping.
