Am I normal?

I feel like I'm diving head first into a depression.  I'm just so sad lately and I just can't shake it.  I think it's because we are in cycle limbo because we are savig money for our next cycle...but some days I just don't think I'm going to make it until we have enough saved up. 

I'm trying to stay strong for everyone involved and that's the hardest part I think...Please tell me I'm normal... Thanks.

I'd say that is COMPLETELY NORMAL. 

What would be ABnormal is if you felt great about it!

((HUGS)) to you.

Completely NORMAL. I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time =(

I can honestly say that after I got my BFP and progressed to about 10 weeks I realized for the first time how desperately depressed and lost I was. DH and my friends all made comments about it. It was so painful for me to realize that I wasnt hiding it at all when I thought I was putting on such a "strong face". Looking back now I see how deeply depressed I was.

Thanks ladies!! I don't know why but it just really hit me today hard. It doesnt help me that I dont really want to talk to anyone IRL. I just think it will make me sadder and start bawling. Glad I have this board and you ladies!!

Yes, it's normal, but I'm sorry that you (or any of us) have to go through this.  It might help to talk to someone IRL just to get the tears out.  (((HUGS)))

I think you're totally normal and doing just fine. As for the sad feelings, I've been there before. Talking to mh has helped me - just talking about my feelings in general. Do you journal? Maybe that would have the same effect. You're going to be fine and your cye will be here before you know it! Try focusing on things that you can do now (like, say, have a few glasses of wine!) but you can't do while you're in the middle of cycling.

It is completely normal.

Its a roller coaster, thats for sure. With very big hills.

100% normal. And I agree with trying to stay strong for others being hard. I usually put up a brave face for all my friends and family and it gets exhausting. (((hugs)))
