What is your coping "vice" (warning DD pics in siggy) DD's mentioned

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

My "Vice" has been shopping.  My younger two DD's have complete winter wardrobes already (seriously they are in storage tubs). I also have been purchasing items to re-do my older two DD's rooms.

You would think I would use this vice to buy myself things.  But instead Im spending all the money on my kids.  Im hoping that after tomorrow's appt I will be feeling better and will stop the "non-stop" shopping.  It took me a long time to recognize I was using shopping to "fill the void" and to keep myself busy so I didnt sit and think about our 5 angel babies. :(

So what is your "vice"

    Mine's shopping too. I've been buying craft supplies and making decorations for autumn. I feel like I have to obsess over something other than my loss. Our house is relatively new and we don't have any decorations. I'm hoping I can make it more "homey" and then hope that we can fill it with children one day.

    Mine has been shopping as well but I keep buying clothes for myself and I'm really good at justifying it since I've lost a little bit of weight over the past month and don't have any summer clothes that fit me since I ended up with a ton of hand me down clothes from a friend that were a size up which were great for the few weeks I was pregnant.

    Ordering books off of Amazon and reading constantly to keep my mind busy. That in addition to indulging in iced-coffee drinks and huge bowls of ice-cream.

    I've been eating cereal... non-stop. I'm not sure why but maybe i am craving comfort/sugary foods to keep from being upset. I wish i could shop :(

    Mine is TV and take out. And I have been having a glass or two of wine like every night. I figure if I can't be pregnant, at least I can have alcohol for a little while. :(

    Tv, Solitare (getting pretty good ;) ) and a glass of wine or Mikes hard lemonade with dinner. I was feeling a little guilty for drinking, but I suppose I can enjoy it while I can.

    In the first couple of weeks it was writing in my journal, every day. Then it switched to reading and playing board games and cards with family.

    Now it is spending time with DH watching romantic comedy movies. Yay for happy endings! (He has to switch it up every once in awhile to get an action movie in there. I just turn away or go do something else when there's too much blood and gore. I've grown sensitive to violence in movies!)
