OMFG!!! (LANGUAGE)

I know I haven't been in here lately. All I do is sleep and eat.
I want to feel fucking pretty! Happy! God damn worth something! What's the point in this? Why would I get up and brush my teeth and take a shower and do my hair and make-up in the morning? WHY would I put on a cute outfit? (Not that anything I own FITS ME NOW!) Why? To lie back down in my bed until I change back into sweats later in the evening? WHY? I can't do anything. I can't go out to eat, I can't drive my car to Circle K to buy a soda! I CAN'T EVEN GO WORK OUT! I can't go swim laps. I can't go watch my DF's band practice. I CAN'T DO SHIT! This bed rest thing was driving me crazy enough. But now I have to wake up and look in the mirror and see this nasty girl with scraggly hair and puffy eyes and dark circles on her cheeks from crying/hating her life! AH! Oh my fucking GOODNESS! I know that most of the time I am calm and collected (unless I'm crying), and I seem mature and together. BUT I'M NOT RIGHT NOW! Right now, I'm miserable, I'm regretting SO many things, bad memories are coming up from YEARS ago. They wouldn't even be in my mind if I could sit here and do something OTHER THAN THINK!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. I'm done. Sorry, I just really had to yell and scream.

If you don't mind me asking.. what are you on bed rest for?
I know it must get annoying, I've got RLS too badly to sit in bed all day, and I'd get SO stir crazy but I'd make people come and see me since I couldn't go see them. You could have some friends bring over some movies or something to keep you company..? Or you could play some games, online or off, or even read or something to keep your mind busy.

See...I've been online literally all day every day when I'm not sleeping for the past 3 weeks. I'm on bed rest due to multiple complications...and I'm so pissed off. My friends are all still in F'ing HS and my fiance lives 2 hours away and only comes in town a couple night a fucking week and he jams with his band and comes here late. LATE, to see me and then go to bed in our guest room. I'm sick of TV, sick of the computer, sick of reading books....AH!

Boooo! Bed rest sucks. I'm sorry! At least your baby will come out okay in the end and then when you see that gorgeous baby's face you will think back and say "Wow you are SO worth it." I know it sucks now but hopefully your pregnancy goes fast!

You know... I was stuck on bedrest on and off for my first 15 weeks... And I felt the same. Bedrest makes you feel like crap. But I did actually get dressed nice and do my makeup and hair just to lay on the couch all day a few times. It actually made me feel a bit better o_O Even though I went right back to sweats at night *lol*
As for the thinking... Find -something- to occupy your mind, even if it is just staring at the TV and not really caring what is on. I used books (I went through a lot of books...) and video games just to make me stop thinking. It didn't always work, but it sure helped!
Hope you can get out of the bedrest funk for at least a day or two
ETA: Ah, missed the sick of books and TV part ^^; Whoops, bad me... Um... Get someone to pick you up a craft type thing, even if you aren't into it. Those work too... (My mom mailed me a really cute cross stitch that you put baby's foot prints on after the birth for instance) And it gives you something semi-productive to do... And yes, there are always videogames >_> If you don't have a system, see if someone will maybe lend you one?

KelsEllie, you and me both.
I can't drive anywhere (no car), can't go out unless I walk a mile somewhere, and my boyfriend is SIX hours away! Not to mention I've got about 2 months left of being preg, so things are getting more and more difficult to do. Can't put my shoes on now! Heartburn is a bitch now too. I pretty much sit alone at home all day.
Thankfully, my boyfriend will be here early Feb. to get ready for baby. But for now, things sucks.
