Emotional Basketcase

tjwriter · Sep 30, 2008

I know it's because I'm pregnant and all, but I've hit the third trimester and everything makes me want to cry. The sad things I've read here, the fact that my daughter will be disappointed today, weird crappy stuff on TV, several personal situations.

Somebody find me a truckload of tissues because all I want to do is boo-hoo!

This is from the girl that never likes to cry.

*hugs*

Hang in there, TJ. You know your hormones are just out of whack, right?

We're all here for you.

jennontheisland · Sep 30, 2008

Hugs. It will go away.

But whatever you do.... don't cut your hair. Trust me.

Think of all that beauty you will bring into the world in a matter of weeks and let that faucet drip tears of happiness.

Mr Flibble · Sep 30, 2008

Oh I know what you mean. I rarely cry - except when I'm pregnant, then I cry at the end of Bagpuss ( kids programme here - 'he was just a saggy old cloth cat but Emily loved him.' *sniff*) Oh and Babe had me in rivers of tears.

*hands over hanky*

If you gotta cry, you gotta cry.

((Great big hug and plenty of tissues))

Sometimes you just have to let it out.

tj -

darlin'. you're not alone.
Turn off the TV. The radio. Pray. Meditate. And listen -

It'll be okay. Sooner or later.

((love&hugs))

Oh, yeah, wacked-out hormones will do that. I'm not a crying person, much, but I'd get weepy over, like, nothing. (It happens again during menopause, too. Oh, joy.)

But hey, it clears out your sinuses, gets you a hug, and reminds you that soon there'll be another human in the world created out of nothing but his or her parents' love. That's worth a few tears, yes?

Maryn, reminding you to blot, not wipe, or your nose will get sore

Thanks everyone!

I've just really noticed how weepy I've been over the last few days. Drop you hat? I'll shed some tears for you. It's almost funny to think about it whenever I'm not trying to cry.

And I'm constantly reminding myself it's the hormones. Half of me is going, "You're crying over that?" The other half is answering, "Yes, *sniff* Yes I am!" *SNIFF*

Glad to know that I'm not alone and that I get to look forward to it again whenever I get menopausal.

I do look forward to the end result, though. Kids are so precious.

Cry away and be happy about it. You're crying for a good reason

Shadow_Ferret · Sep 30, 2008

I was weepy over the Milwaukee Brewers pep rally yesterday since we haven't been in the playoffs for 26 years.

I enjoy kids even when they drive me nuts, so maybe I'm just crazy.

On a brighter note, I'm all happy today because my vacation was approved and I will off the 13-17th. Makes me do a happy dance. I need some time off.

Barnes & Noble here I come!

Housecleaning here I come!

Decluttering here I come!

Weeeee!

Wanna count my butt pimples instead? I've wondered how many I really have.

Or try to go a whole different color. I went orange. I bet the staff in Labor and Delivery were laughing at the nurses station.

Think of it this way: (and I don't know how true this is) crying gets rid of any bad chemicals in the body. I cry a lot. And I haven't been pregnant in years. Why else is my user name stormie?!

Soccer Mom · Oct 1, 2008

When I was pregnant with my first one, I turned on the TV and saw that Beaches was on and thought "I really liked that movie."

Soccer Dad came home and found me on the couch with an empty box of kleenex. It happens.

Hugs!
