Just a plain old, for no particular reason, bad day

dancerspose

You ever have one of those rough days when you're just feeling crappy for no specific reason (I mean, sure, surrounding the fact that we're having TTTC, but no new triggers).  Then, even though you're already feeling pretty down on yourself for some inexplicable reason you keep torturing yourself - looking at people's maternity/newborn pictures, seeing cute videos of little girls and their dads online, reading "10 things no one tell you about being a mom" articles - all the while feeling like that'll never be you?

Yup, that's me today.  Can't explain why.  I just keep reading/looking at things that I know will upset me then inevitably start fighting back the tears.  Who knows, maybe AF is finally on her way and this is my way of having a reason to be an emotional mess...here's hoping the negativity goes away so I can enjoy my weekend.

Sorry for the downer, AW post.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day.  I get those now and then too.  Treat yourself to a goody today (cupcake, perhaps?) and I really hope tomorrow is better.

Sorry you're having one of those days. I seem to be having a lot of them lately. I have to make a conscientious effort to not beat myself up, it's not easy. I tell myself that everything will be ok, and this shall pass. Feel better.

I'm so sorry.  I have had more than a few of those days and know how bad they suck.  If wine ain't your thing Ben & Jerry's always makes me feel better.

((hugs))

Oh, I'm so sorry. Those things are so tempting, maybe because we are so ready to enjoy the fantasy of being a mom or mom-to-be? I hope you feel better soon.

I know exactly what you mean.  I have days where, for no reason at all, I feel so down on myself and allow myself to think of all the terrible things about tttc that make me cry.  I guess it just comes with the territory.  I know this isn't advice, but maybe you'll take comfort in knowing that you're not alone in feeling this way.  Hugs!!!

Ugh I feel ya! It's been one of those weeks and to top it off we're driving 4 hours to spend the weekend with my in-laws. I believe it's time to break into our extensive wine collection

Sorry for all the tags, but you all made me feel so much better and less alone I wanted to recognize you each!

Thank you all so much ladies!  It definitely help tremendously just to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. I definitely enjoyed some wine once I got off work yesterday, and my mood was greatly improved by DH deciding we were going to skip his best friend's baby shower today for his pregnant GF.

Good job, Shaf's DH!! Excellent choice.

Hi I'm new to the boards, but I am totally having one of those days that hasn't stopped for the past 6 months it seems. I mean I have some good days but its so hard. I'm a maternity RN and also all of my friends and my sister are pregnant right now so I am very depressed. I'm trying to be positive. I'll be doing my 2nd IUI next wk.

@wakeohsleeper i'm sorry to hear of your depression.  Have you done an intro on this board?  If not, I highly recommend it was a way to introduce yourself to everyone.  You will find abundance support and humor from these women.  I can't imagine how difficult it must be to go through IF while  being a maternity nurse.

Best of luck with your IUI next week!
