It's amazing what our emotions can do to us.

I am having a hard time keeping up with my hygeine lately, and my legs are a forest right now. (I know, TMI) My husband will actually show his disgust on his face and shudder when he catches a glimpse of my legs. Sometimes I want to cry, other times I stick my leg in his face and tease him because it is fun to disgust him. If he is going to be mean to me, I'll do it right back sometimes. Other times I'll go off and sulk.

He doesn't know what to think.

This is hard for us and hard for our SO's. We're all doing the best we can and we all need breaks form one another at times. It doesn't mean he doesn't love you or thinks you're ugly. I am sure he loves you and thinks you are beautiful. He probably wants to help you by suggesting things that he thinks will make you feel better.

Alas, he is a guy and guys speak their own language. When he says, "A little make up won't hurt." He is probably saying, "You might feel better if you feel beautiful."

It's hard for us to translate their language anyway, but when our emotions are messing with us through bipolar and pregnancy, all bets are off.

I hope you are feeling a little better. Can you do something good for yourself?
