Angry

[Krisheena]

Hello.. I'm 14wk and 2days. Throughout my pregnancy I've been very angry. I can count on one hand how many times I've been happy. Today I reached my boiling point. I feel like really hurting someone. But since ive gotten pregnant once haven't liked this person. Idk wat to do how do I change this feeling. I go for walks I tried so much but nothing helps.

I wanna thank each one of you guys. First I took a step back and prayed every min I felt the anger. Second I realized wat was making me so angry half the time. It was the father of my unborn child who would do and say things to me that no person should do to another person. I was so use to keeping it in but not anymore. Third I flew my bff out to spend a weekend with me and we talked abouteverything. I was so mad n angry that I forgot to eat I'm 15weks now n I lost 5lbs but I'm back on track and everything will be fine. I'm also going out of town to go spend some time with my bff this week.

I know a man who was once full of anger, very violent! he started talking to God about this after trying everything else and God took all his anger away and now he is one of the nicest, gentlest men that u could ever meet and has no anger at all! u can cover up anger with medicine or alcohol or whatever else but only g God can truly take this out of your heart, try prayer! its simple

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would strongly recommend that you seek counseling and soon.  If you feel that you might hurt yourself or someone else, go to the emergency room ASAP! Pregnancy does not cause anger, so there is more than that going on.  Get your Ob doctor to refer you to someone who can help!
Good luck!

Hi Krisheena,
I just wanted to respond to your post even though I have not been in your position (pregnancy length) but I believe that over all you should be easy on yourself.  If you are angry often, that's okay- at least you recognize it and are reaching out for advice.  Your hormones are a major factor I would assume and if you can take a step back and realize that the anger will pass, it might get a little easier.
Consider taking walks as well as maybe keeping a journal.  Aside from hormones, there are things that can trigger our anger and they can be subtle and unseen.  There are so many things to be hopeful for and your life is changing in a big way.  While it's easy to say this, it's difficult to be in the moment sometimes.  
Do you have anyone who can visit you face to face and support you emotionally?  I would say that talking to someone, a family member or friend on a weekly basis would be helpful, as well as posting like you have here.  Also, writing your thoughts to get them out and maybe understand where they come from.  I do hope you take it very easy on yourself and try not to stress too much.  If you do though, it's okay.  You're pregnant!  Overall, that's the wonderful thing happening and the best you can do is take good care of yourself.  You're doing great by reaching out.  All the best!
