What do you do to get out of IF funk?

Whenever I am in a bad place my furmonster always makes me feel better.

What are your anti-funk tactics?

We are currently planning lots of small weekend trips that are on the cheap.  Just good to get out of the house and the usual surroundings together and relax.  I am hoping this does the trick because I have been in a major funk lately.

knitting, romantic comedies, and cuddling my dog.

I go out to a nice dinner and have a good glass of red wine.  And then rent a movie from the red box and cuddle with my furbaby and my Hubs!

reality tv, comfort food, exercise, yoga, furbabies, alcohol (you can see that these vary in healthiness   ).

my dog

alcohol

running and yoga

my DH

I also like to think about things I can do after a BFN (like drinking).  For example, I think if I get a BFN I am going to take next cycle off and try and run a 10k, which I've never done before.

I also love to watch movies, especially anchorman, superbad, pineapple express, etc.

the snl digital short *** in a box makes me cry from laughing so hard

Running, snuggle my puppy, a glass of wine, doing things with DH, chores around the house, weekend trips/getaways, time with friends, crafting/card making, reading - anything!

reality tv

How could I forget this!  My DH got us an extra DVR so I could record all of my "trashy reality shows" to watch after a BFN, when I am in a funk, or when I am on bedrest after my ET.  It was such a great idea!

I forgot reality tv...

and of course, retail therapy, although the economy is messing with that a bit!

How could I forget reading - it is my crack!

I also love pedicures

retail therapy and/or a good book always help me

running, spinning, pilates or yoga. Staying active keeps me sane.

The hubs and I go for walks after dinner when the weather is good. And COOKING. I have to focus on what I'm doing in order to follow a recipe so that helps quiet my mind down too.

Thank you for asking this! For me, retail therapy (mainly shoes), a massage, and a weekend trip if we can swing it. I especially like going somewhere with lots of stars. I just stare up at the sky and it helps.

Oh, and planning something further down the line. In our case, Mexico. I am on IUI #1 now, and if we go through 3 without a BFP, we will head to Mexico for a few days to relax and regroup.

Good post!  Retail therapy, drinking wine, and going out to eat!   We went away to Boston for an extended weekend last year just shortly after my m/c and that did me a world of good!  I wish we were in a financial position to go away recently after BFN cycles.

Definitely retail therapy. . . I need to cut back on this.

 

Reading.  I love to read.  

 

Funny movies.

 

Traveling.  Pedicures.  My kitties.
