Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

Definitely - you’re not alone. I have struggled with hormonal depression on and off since the start of second trimester and now I’m 36 weeks. Bring it up with your OB at your next appointment for sure- mine mentioned that hormonal depression during pregnancy can show an increased likelihood of PPD after delivery

like

same. My midwife described it as “ mood swing nausea”- plenty of crying and anxiety and a fair share of depression are par for the course in first trimester as your mind gets used to being pregnant 🤰…
Just as the physical nausea is your body being thrown for a loop by all the hormones involved in being pregnant

Sorry to hear ACN1. I’m almost 24 weeks and it gets better but there is definitely odd days where it all compounds. Keep your head up- sending good vibes!

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...
