One minute I’m ok the next I’m not…

I have days when my energy is at zero, and I use those moments to rest. Then, there are days when I get a burst of energy and confidence, and I take full advantage of it—cleaning, organizing, running errands, and even doing something for myself that doesn’t involve sleeping. But then, there are days like today, when this pregnancy takes over my emotions and weighs me down. I feel insecure. I start overthinking my life and future. Even though life is good, and I’m incredibly blessed to be a stay-at-home mom to my almost three-year-old, I can’t help but wonder if this is it for me. Motherhood? Is that really all? But then again, is that so bad? Motherhood is a lot of work—the hardest and coolest thing I’ve ever done. Still, my mind loves to play tricks on me, whispering that I’m not doing enough and that I should be more. Before this pregnancy, I don’t think these thoughts ever got to me. If they did, I must’ve brushed them off. But today, I can’t seem to escape them. I find myself crying over what I want my life to be or look like. I remember feeling this exact way with my first pregnancy. And here I am again. All I can do is write this out, hoping I’m not alone and, most importantly, pray about it.

Hi, you’re definitely not alone. I feel the exact same way. Literally on everything! So don’t worry, it’s nice to read this and feels validating

@Juanita ughh these hormones, I hate them!! Lol… and thank you for that 💕

I feel this way too! One day I’m exhausted and the next I’m worried that I’m not exhausted.

You are definitely not alone !! I feel the exact same way . In fact the reason I suspected I was even pregnant is because I started feeling depressed / bipolar which is very UNLIKE me. The only thing helping me deal with those intrusive thoughts is asking God over and over again to keep these thoughts away and he always does it within a couple of hours. I use to need anti depressants and anxiety meds but they made me sooooooo constipated and disconnected emotionally from everyone including myself .

@Luisa I love your answer. Not too many people will agree but I’m like you, I trust God is my healer, no meds for me. And I hope and pray I never have to depend on them. To each their own but I never really hear anything positive in the long run.
