Let's Bitch
- Rating: No Rating
Okay, let it out. What's going on in your life that you'd LOVE to complain about but don't want to "burden" people with? Kids getting on your nerves? Wanna punch the hubby in the face? Me? I just tripped over my cat putting groceries away and wanted to kick him across the room. Lately, I've found I have a lot of rage. I went to my OB/GYN last month and told her I've been so angry. Looking back, I think the look on her face was concern that maybe I'm not through my PPD, but I insisted I was fine. Last night, I noticed I was annoyed at Jake. He's 3 and he's sick but I was annoyed. Then I started realizing, even though I'm seemingly happy, I've been really pissed off lately for no good reason. I want to call my doc again but my health insurance sucks and any additional meds will run over $100 a month. I'm afraid that even though it may help me out, the stress of spending the additonal money will put a new problem in my life. WHEW. I needed to do that.

I think the anger is like a phase 2 of the PPD. The PPD is anger turned inward (ie. "I suck at this. I am a bad mother. I can't do this...") The anger is it turned outward.
Right now I am mad at my body and about aging in general. I was young when I got pregnant. Now 4 years later, I am an old lady! My back hurts. My neck hurts. I'm tired all the time. I just want to feel NORMAL-- whatever that is -- again. I don't want to take pain killers like they are vitamins.
Okay, that's my rant for the day.

Yeah, I hear ya there. I always loved my body (except the 2 times I gained 70 pounds lol) but the stretch marks make me ashamed of it. To make matters worse, I developed an allergy to narcotics during my pregnancy, so I didn't even get to enjoy the morphine fun.
