My ability to regulate my emotions has vanished

The mood swings of early pregnancy are making me insane. I’m normally a pretty highly strung, anxious person, but this is next level. I’m medicated and despite that, I am not able to regulate my emotions. Last night I barely slept because of an issue at work that might normally roll off my back. Panic attacks and everything! I feel absolutely crazy. I hope it gets better and that my mood levels out, I can’t figure out how I will handle 6 more months of this. Anyone else? I had no clue the mood swings would be this horrible.

Have you talked to your psychiatrist or the doctor who manages your medication? There are also perinatal psychiatrists who specialize in medical management during pregnancy, at least in the US. Maybe they can help?

Girl, I’m in the same boat. I feel so blessed for having the baby daddy/boyfriend that I do but I have been RAGING. I’m a literal lunatic 😭🤣 I also have the worst anxiety and everything about pregnancy makes me anxious.

I've been a witch day and night. Extremely short fuse. My poor husband...
