My husband thinks I have a personality disorder, but I am pregnant.

[NewWife14]

I am 23, newly married, and have a baby on the way. My husband thinks I have a personality disorder. This is something I have often wondered about, but I can't seem to trust a doctor, as the last time I saw a doctor he just told me what he thought I wanted to hear. I'm pretty sure I have normal anxiety and depression, but since finding out that we were pregnant, he and I seem to fight more. I feel myself lash out at times, I don't seem to want him to touch me or be around me most of the time, and I find myself being sort of mean to him, but once he leaves or we fight, I feel the guilt and don't really want him to leave. Is this because of the pregnancy hormones or because I really should go see a doctor?

i had this when i was pregnant with 2nd baby, anything would set me off arguing, id tell my partner i hate him and want to split up, its hormones but also revenge because he wasnt very nice to me before our first child as he was accidently concieved but wanted, so i wanted to hurt him because hed hurt me emotionally, he should understand womens problems too my partner just brushed it under the carpet

Hey. I have to tell you that I have the same experiences and have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. I am also 22 weeks pregnant also. My depression isn't nearly as bad now but I still get anxious and have to take it one step at a time and I have to make extra sure that I don't take it out on my husband. I think that if you need to see a doctor for it then go for it and then you need to try to find a doctor that you can trust and is going to take you serious. Best of luck!

pregnancy hormones make us women go crazy. while i was pregnant i can go from happy to either yelling or crying in the snap of a finger. i was baking a cake for easter the year i was pregnant my cake exploded in the oven. normally i would have laughed about it, cleaned it up and started over. what did i do? burst into tears. i just cried and cried because my cake exploded in the oven. my mom and dh thought it was hilarious. i went from crying to screaming at dh for laughing at me. it's the hormones. we're crazy for those 9 months and a year or 20 afterwards. (i still just start crying for no apparent reason or get really mad for no reason.)
