Cry It Out.



Those who know me well, know that I RARELY cry. It takes major emotional distress to induce tears out of me. Yet here I am... in hysterics... tears streaming down my face... for no good reason at all except that I am OBVIOUSLY hormonal. I feel trapped by my emotions right now. The normal for me, is to assess most situations with logic and common sense. Not the case as of late. The littlest thing that goes off plan is a huge deal. The littlest thing sets me off. It really sucks to know that there is something wrong with the way I am behaving, but feeling so trapped within myself that I can't do anything about it. I feel sorry for Dave because he doesn't know how to handle this Amy. He is probably wanting the less emotional Amy back. I want me back too, so I understand. This isn't for a pity party. I kinda just wanted to write this out to get it out, ya know? Since I am having a hard time thinking, I thought writing it all out would help. I am much calmer now and the tears have stopped so I think it did help. Sorry to be a downer. I get so envious of people who can take all situations in stride and have a generally happy take on everything in life.  Hopefully I'll be able to reign this in and end this day well.

  1. I can honestly tell you that I know how you feel. I had a time in my life about a year ago where I felt the exact same way. Praying that this season of your life passes and that you have renewed energy and strength to overcome :)

  2. You probably hit the nail on the head, hormones. So be sure you're taking your vits (I know you are). Remember tears have a healing component so don't hold back.

    I'm praying for you doll.

  3. I think a good cry can be very freeing (even if you feel that you're crying for no good reason). Just move through it and I am sure you'll feel better in no time.

  7. I'm not sure that there is anyone anywhere who can take every situation in stride. I'm a very emotional person so I can relate with that feeling exactly. I hope you feel more like yourself tomorrow! BIG HUGS!

  8. There is nothing wrong with typing out your negative feelings every now and again:) It makes me appreciate that you are more like me than I thought! If that makes sense. I can't even imagine what pregnancy hormones are like... Nor do I feel I care to know {although I do want children} I am crazy emotional on certain birth controls.. & it is insane.. My husband thinks im crazy. haha. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

  9. I'm sorry you feel overwhelmed friend...we all feel that way sometimes and I am sure it's magnified when you have a baby growing inside of you, making all of these hormonal changes. Sometimes crying does help...you know i'm here if you wanna shout anything out. <3xo

  11. I really do hope today will be better for you, Amy:) Like others have mentioned, we all have those days- it's that friggen woman thing. I know my husband definitely has to think I'm nuts. Actually, right about now he probably does ha! Last night, everything and anything was triggering all other things. Anyway, I'm happy your cry helped and that you felt better after typing it out. Today is awesome day! So I hope you are smiling.

  12. I know how you feel. I had one of those days the other night but it was for a reason, and my husband doesn't understand me either when I'm emotional :P He thinks everyone should just deal with stuff and not let it bother them, but uh... not happening. Men are dumb...

  13. Can I just hug you & tell you that life is like a winding road? A roller coaster? A ocean current... with paces both swift & slow, rough & smooth, calm & violent. The emotions that hormones bring us can somehow be used as good. Think about the fact that you don't have to hold everything in & analyze it, instead you're releasing the stress & crying it out. I hope it gets easier Schmamey. <3
