I kinda rule.

Research sam-E a little bit, you might find it a good fit. Just what you want, I know--MORE supplements. (I also think you should seriously think about T Tapping...it helps fix so much of that stuff!)

The last thing I can process right now is doing something productive or something that requires energy to start.

Yeah, I want tons more pills. Already on a multivitamin (she doesn't even agree with multiviatmins, but apparently I'm in severe need of it), yellow dock, red raspberry, alfalfa, sea calcium, echinacea, b complex, and d3.
The diet in and of itself is pretty difficult to adjust to though.

I just feel like he's not getting a good mommy while I'm trying to deal with being pregnant and all the struggles I have along with that.

He's getting a great mom. Just a stressed one.

Also, not to be incredibly insensitive to all of you who have said you've had kids close together... no offense, but these two are going to be something resembling 13-14 months apart. That's just.... dreadful to me right now. That's a lot different than 18 months apart.

Yeah...my grandmother used to tell me stories about helping mom with us. It is difficult, no sugarcoat. But wonderful...and wonderfully stressing. No one has a right to blame you for being stressed and worried...and that no one includes you. Cut yourself a break, it's difficult. We're here for what that is worth and you can vent without judgment.

Exactly.

can you take antidepressants when your pregnant?

No, no, no. The vast majority of them are NOT safe for pregnancy as the child will be born dependent on the drugs and will likely be affected by birth defects as well.

More stuff just keeps piling on my life and stressing me out even more. God knows I'm at my freakin' wits end, and I just keep getting MORE.

Yesterday, the baby and I came down with a cold. I already am struggling to eat, move, get up off the couch because I feel like absolute crap, or even go anywhere when I need to. And this is what I get - a sickness. I'm done with it.

The other day, there was a skunk in our crawlspace under the house. No idea how it got there, but it was not happy and making screeching noises, and eventually mildly stunk up the house (not a full spray, thankfully). I was ready to pack a bag and move up to the MIL's until it got solved.

NOTHING is going easy for me. Just when I think it's the hardest I can possibly handle, I get more to handle. I get the whole "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" but right now it's just making me resentful.

I think what you really need is some mousse.

Are you getting someone in to help you yet, sweetie? I am praying, praying praying for you. Try to remember that as super sucky as it is--this not forever--it's just a season of your life. As inconceivable as it is right now--it will pass. Just keep holding on for then. ((hug)) Totally wish I lived closer to you.

I'm sorry, honey. I know what that feels like. I've got that 'what doesn't kill you' saying hanging up in my cube at work...but I changed it a little...

"What doesn't kill you...will only require a prescription and several years of intense therapy."

Honestly, you will get through it. After all...what's the alternative, right? But, yeah, it's going to be crappy, and frustrating, and nerve wracking until it's over. You know you've got my prayers, and if you really want to get away, you know where I live. My door is always open. :hug:

Love you, sweetie.

The second weekend in March, my MIL is done with her super busy job and will only be working 2 days a week a couple hours each day. But she's also flying to Cali so I think maybe she's really not around until the third week in March. But last weekend she guessed that I'm pregnant, and Mark told her we need a LOT of help because I'm struggling. So she will help when she becomes available.... but probably like 3-4 weeks from now.

My best friend out here is super great, and knows I'm preggo, so is supportive... but doesn't really know how much I'm struggling. I go to her house to escape my problems. But she works full time, as does her husband, and she has 5 strong willed children. There's not much free time in her life.

I'm flying back to NY early April .... my parents don'e know I'm pregnant yet, and last year I flew out, I kept nearly having to throw up during every take off and landing. And this time I have to do it with a baby, and preggo.

I have not found the light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to yet.
