Hello you magnificent ladies. I miss you all very much. I wish I could say that my bump break has been a time of self reflection and personal growth, but it has not. I have been crying a lot more than I feel comfortable with. I feel like I could start crying at the drop of a hat...I hate it. I know I have so much in my life to be thankful for, and I truly am thankful. I know that our TTC journey is far from over and we have so much to look forward to, but I keep getting swallowed into this pool of self pity. I'm fighting to keep from drowning and feel like I'm losing steam.
Someone shared a powerful saying with me a couple of days ago..."Never look at what you have lost. Only look at what you have left." I've been trying to remind myself of this and it certainly helps.
Anyway, I'm very sorry that I haven't been here for you. I hope you are all doing well, making progress and have BFP's in your very near future. Much and (((hugs))) to you all.

I wish there was something I could do. I will say I went to my first support group recently and it felt nice to be face to face with others who "get it".
Oh, maybe also keep track of what's helping you and what's not. My counselor helped me see that I was trying unhelpful coping methods for too long. Now, if something isn't helping I try to recognize that and ditch it as a strategy.
For now and all the time squishy, warm hugs.

Thank you ladies. There's a lot of changes going on in my life and yet nothing is changing. I know that probably doesn't make sense, but it's the best way I can describe it.
HH - Thank you for that feedback from your counselor. I will give that a try.
