Anyone have any suggestions for these strange mood swings and sleep problems? I'm guessing it's probably just pregnancy. Since I've been preggo (24wks) I have been struggling with stress, anxiety, some depression, and this strange resentment against my pregnancy (it was unexpected and at an awkward time- we just bought a house) I do have a lot of money stress, I had to quit my overnight job because my sleep needs doubled suddenly. Since my second trimester began i have been sewing obsessively and I've come up with some cute ideas of little things I could sell. I thought that would ease the stress but it's only getting worse. I can't stop thinking about the next thing I can sew, and the past couple of days I got this strange congestion/nausea thing from my 2 year old and now I am sleeping the bare minimum and so lightly that I feel I am barely sleeping at all. My doc said to wait till daylight savings and see if it's not better. In the meantime I'm not sleeping, when I do I have nothing but nightmares about being killed by a house intruder. Any suggestions?
That's the most unhelpful answer I've ever heard. Could you at least give me a hint about the nightmares? I could really use some sleep : /
*!@#!!!!! I'm a hard polytheist! Why didn't I realize that my mood swings and sleep loss were related to religion? I see things so clearly now.
Thanks SC, I would really like to but I just feel like I'm in the twilight zone. It's really tough to explain to my doctor what's wrong and she doesn't seem to be able to help much because it's not a by the book problem. I imagine it's just out of control hormones and a cold. I call it "displaced nesting symptom". It was cute when i was showing everyone the cloth diapers I made but the past two days have been terrible. 2 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours. I feel delirous, I've been at the sewing machine all day trying to cope with the exhaustion. And constantly starving but constantly nausious. And I just had a dream that someone killed me so real that I was too scared to cry, I just turned on the tv and holed myself up...
I'm rambling sorry. No sleep... |
