Hate Being home alone!!!!!!!

So, funny as it is, my husband is a physician and he has rotation schedules that change every month. Thankfully this month he didn't have to do nights at the hospital which has really helped me because when he is home I am less anxious. Starting November he is back to nights and I am already getting anxious. I hate the nights and even though I have my beautiful daughter I feel like I can't even enjoy her because I become so anxious in the house alone with her at night. My HA begins to act up and I start to feel like I am either dying or about to die. I can't take this anymore. I know it sounds silly but I want to move back home (close to my parents) because for some reason being aruodn them really helps me. I am getting anxious and depressed knowing that I only have one week left :(

Thanks Park, how are you doing?

I know the feeling - I recently became single after being married for nearly 10 years. I do "ok" when I have my kids but the weeks I don't, I really struggle. I hate being home alone. My anxiety kicks in full gear and completely screws with me. I get anxious at work just thinking about going home and being alone.

I'm working hard on trying to get through this so I can function and hopefully even enjoy my time without another person around me but it's definitely one of the biggest struggles I've faced.

I am okay.... this pregnancy is going by so slowwwww, I really wish I can enjoy it but its so hard :( He is a fellow, in his 2nd year doing pulmonary critical care (lung specialty). SO I barely see him ,I really think that has attributed to my anxiety plus not having any family around :( I was really attached to my family before I got married so I don't this has helped at all...
He is very understanding but sometimes I try to put on a strong act because it is not fair to him either. So sometimes I find myself acting which sucks at the same time so I don't know what to do.

That's so true ,once you live with partner it's difficult to live alone as can trigger anxiety and depression.For now I am with friend but thought of living alone does it to me that's why I plan to stay with sis.
but we cannot get along sometimes and staying alone is lonely and for loners who enjoy their own company and can't share space with anyone.
Sometimes I can be a loner too and just wanna live by myself as ppl mean trouble but I am social so can get rough.

I'll hope for a boy for you! We should have our genetic testing results this coming week. We have a boy and I'm kind of middle of the road either way. I have been drooling over little girl knit tights lately, so I would really like a girl!

As for sensations, I do think that anxiety can amplify little things we feel in our bodies. My therapist said something to me yesterday that really stuck for me. She said that I need to remember that "sensations aren't always symptoms." For example, I've been having insane round ligament pain and when it comes on my lower right side, I instantly worry that I'm going to have appendicitis. She said I just need to remember that sometimes a sensation is just a sensation and nothing more. I think if you have your OB do a regular breast exam and everything is fine, you can rest easy that you are totally ok. Anxiety just seems to make every little feel amplified and like it's more than it likely is.

The therapist is great, simply because she really helps remind me of a more logical way to think. I highly recommend it if you're able to make the time. It's nice to have those reminders.

We are definitely not having anymore than two kids. Both of our kids will be the result of fertility treatments and I'm NOT interested in anymore of that nonsense and on top of that, I don't think I'm mentally cut out for 3! Hahaha. How about you?

Pregnancy is such a stressful time. It totally works your body over and is just exhausting. And yessssssss, we all know there's a miracle at the end, but that doesn't erase the fear and anxiety we experience while going through these 9 months!

Spring can't come soon enough!

I'm in the Chicago area. How about you?

Haha! My husband's family lives in Bloomfield!

We're headed to Bloomfield for Thanksgiving. We don't get back there that often. To be honest, I'm not that sad about it....inlaws and all...😉
