I am really struggling with apathy right now.
Is that a symptom of depression? Just not being able to convince yourself to give a damn about things?
I don't feel depressed. Just distracted. And uninterested in things that used to bring me pleasure. Like reading. Or watching TV. Or writing.
I think it might be a hormone thing going on because my only real focus seems to be baby related. I want to clean the house. And organize things. (We went to The Container Store today, and I have never felt so excited by organizational do-dads in my whole life.) I want to sit in silence in the dark and feel for kicks. And I want to finally finish unpacking from the damn move.
But there's a whole lot that I actually CAN'T do right now because of Braxton Hicks contractions.Physical activity really gets them going. I cleaned the living room this morning and started getting them every ten minutes. Had to lie down until they stopped.
My body is clearly telling me that I need to chill. But I'm not particularly good at relaxing. Especially when I've got this nagging feeling that there is SO MUCH THAT NEEDS DONE.

ETA: Bon Jovi helps. Definitely hormonal...

hormones in charge
