mental breakdown.. vent.

I'm 19, have a two and a half yearold daughter and I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I'm a stay at home mom (had to quit my job because I got put on bed rest) and I'm having a really hard time. I constantly feel soooo anxious and stressed. Like I want to break down and cry 24/7. I have an amazing husband but he works long hours and when he isn't working he wants to be at band practice. All I do is sit at home, entertain my daughter, and clean the house. I don't have a car during the day because we share a car. and I don't have any friends that can come over, most of them I lost when I adopted my daughter and became a mommy. Which I wouldn't trade for the world, and I'm not complaining about being a mom at all. I just feel trapped and sooo bored. I feel bad because my daughter if stuck at home with me too and we don't have much to do. I feel like I need a hobby or something, because being home constantly just gives me TOO much time to think and I end up just being stressed out all the time. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Haha

We do a lot, like art and letters and all that. I just feel couped up I guess. We don't have internet, tv, or gaming systems at our house and I only allow my daughter to watch one movie a day so our house is sooo boring. I wish we didn't live in the middle of nowhere so we could go do stuff during the day.

I'm a stay at home mommy with my 2 1/2  year old daughter, hubby works, i'm also finding myself really bored and now that its winter its hard for us to even get outside to play. I used to work as a preschool teacher so me and my daughter do art projects, reading and writing, spelling, counting, and zumba work outs daily to pass time. I'm excited for baby to come (i'm 25+2) and give us more to do during the day:-)  I also picked up an independent consultant skin care rep part time job just to keep myself busy like 2 evenings a week and during nap time with paper work:-)

I had to quit at 20 weeks, but before my husband and I got our daughter, I was in school, cheer, and volleyball. I quit everything and literally over night became a full time mommy, worked for a few months then had to quit. I love it, but i feel like I need something to do to get my mind off of everything. I have a great life but I over think everything, so all I do is stress myself out about things I can't control. I'm afraid being so stressed all the time and all my anxiety is going to hurt my baby, but I don't know how to stop it.
