Week 9

(May 6th- 13th)

Emotional:

It might be because of the hormonal changes, or it might just be because of my life's events, but I've been really really depressed lately. Just a lot of feeling sad, crying at times, sometimes over silly things. Things are a bit rough right now, just because of having to put up with my mother, the physical things that are bothering me, and still have enough energy to work on those independent studies due at the end of this month! I'm trying to spend lots of time with Chris, because he cheers me up, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay cheerful about things. I just have so many worries about my future, and the baby's future and even though I know it'll work out ok, the uncertainty of it all at this stage is really bothering me. I've taken the day off school today just because I'm very tired and also really depressed and unmotivated. I really hope things start looking up soon. I expect things will go better once I can get those independent studies done, exams out of the way, and can move out of this house and into my own place. Everything will be so much better by the end of June!!!

Physical:

Well, the nausea seems to have taken a bit of a rest. It was bad last week, but the weekend and the past couple days have been ok. I still get a queasy feeling once in a while, but not as bad as it was before! I'm hoping this is the end of things. Unfortunately, another beast of a symptom has come to take the nauseas place. I've been so tired recently! I just feel totally drained of all energy. Even when I get lots of sleep, and go to bed early, it feels like I need even more sleep! I've been tired throughout the past month or two, but it seems that this week, it's really bad. Let's hope this doesn't last long either...
