What is wrong with me?????

I have a 1 year old boy and am having our second boy March 10th via csection.

I can't very well be the only woman out there that feels the way I do.

I am a stay at home mom (which is new for me b/c I've always worked) My husband just got a new job and we uprooted and moved 700 miles last month.

Am I just going crazy or is this normal to feel the way I fee?
I'm frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, full of anxiety.
I feel like I never get a break. I wake up and start my day off taking care of my son, then the dog, then I try to straighten up the apartment b/c its always a wreck! I want it to be nice just in case my husband decides to come home for lunch instead of going out with his work group....Why don't I get to go out for lunch? That doesn't seem very fair?

Then if he does come home, I make him lunch, I make our son lunch, I try to eat something....

He goes back to work, I try to lounge around and relax while my son is sleeping b/c I am almost 9 months pregnant, sick with a stupid cold and exhausted. I dont sleep at night either b/c I'm uncomfortable or have to pee which means I am so tired during the day but feel like I shouldn't sleep b/c I am a stay at home mom, so I should be doing laundry or cleaning....

But then the place never gets clean. it always looks disgusting...so bad that i would be embarassed if somebody were to come over.

Anyways, my husband gets home from work and either watches tv or gets online...while I still get to be mom and make dinner and take care of our son.

Then I get to clean the kitchen, which most of the time I dont b/c I'm tired...which means when I wake up in the morning....my day starts over again...

I feel alone! I feel like a single mother.

I'm sick and pregnant, I feel like my job never ends. I feel like I'm never doing anything good enough. I have horrible trust issues. I always think my husband is interested in other women or that he's cheating on me, or that he's going to find somebody better that he wants to be with.

I try to talk to him and he gets mad
I cry...ball my eyes out and he yells at me and asks what should he do?
I ask him to please just put his arms around me and tell me everything is okay and he always makes it out to be my fault and that he tries....then he walks away and ignores me for hours.

I swear to God. I'm crazy. I know it! That's it. I'm just crazy.

Is there anybody out there who understands ? Or am I alone and just need a kick in the head???????

Help!
