Not feeling like myself.. I need to vent
Hi everyone! Well first I want to say how grateful I am that I found this app. I just need to vent. I have friends and some family around me but they don’t really understand what I’m going through or what I’m feeling. I’ve been sick since week 6 (as soon as I found out I was pregnant) and since then I haven’t been taking care of myself as I usually do. I have not done my hair in 3 weeks and overall I just look and feel like a mess. My child’s father lacks the emotional maturity to even know how to comfort me and make me feel somewhat better. I can’t wait to get out of this morning sickness phase and maybe I’ll start feeling better emotionally but right now I just feel really sad..
Right there with you. I don’t feel like myself at all. I’m too nauseated to be active, socialize with friends, or enjoy anything, and I feel like life is just passing me by. I managed to get through a wash day on a rare occasion I was feeling pretty good from my nausea meds. But overall, I pretty much look how I feel. I’m the one or the first moms out of my friend groups so they don’t really get it and I worry they think I’m being dramatic or complaining too much. The depressive first trimester feelings are real. It can be a dark and isolating time. I try to remind myself this is temporary. I watched lots of tiktok’s of expectant mothers documenting their miserable 1st trimester experiences and then would go to their profiles and watch more recent videos of them sharing how much better they now feel (and look lol). That gave me hope. That’ll be us soon!! Hang in there ♥️
