On the verge of tears

BeachJenn

Has anyone else on the adoption journey gone through stages of just being on the verge of tears? I cried in church yesterday, I'm on the verge now for no reason. I seem totally out of it and just want to cry at any moment! It's been like this for a few days. It's not PMS time....

We've been live for just 3 months - not long I know but my goodness I feel like I'm cracking. Is it me? Is this normal? I believe we're only given what we can handle but for love!

Anyone else?

I've barely started the research phase and have already felt like crying!! Hang in there.

I think it IS normal...I'd be worried if someone wasn't effected by this rollar coaster!

Totally normal!  I still break out in tears occassionally thinking about our adoption journey!

YES!  It is totally normal to just want to let it all out.  Don't fight it, it usually helps to release all those pent-up emotions.  I almost always feel better after a good cry.

I've also found that going to the gym or otherwise exercising hard helps me release tension and the unpleasantness of it all.  And posting here for reassurance and understanding also always goes a long way.

I hope you find reason to smile soon!

I was upset at the world the last week and half of July. I can not get anyone to tell us were to go for here and nothing seems to be moving. I can not get a straight answer either. I have prayed and am feeling better now but I was crying and getting upset about other things that I normaly would not have. It is hard somedays.

Hope things start looking up for you.

It's normal. I've been that way for a couple of weeks too. We are almost done with our homestudy, we have our home visit next week and I have been just crazy with emotions. I'm sorry your having such a hard time. Hang in there!

I def get that way from time to time, and I imagine it will get worse before it gets better, lol. I know once we start our home study, it will hit on sensitive issues, and crying will be part of it. I just try to focus on how happy I will be once we are a family of 3!
