So I think I've lost my mind

BlakeGBlakeG member
in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I think I've officially lost my mind.  A friend who I love dearly just sent me one of those inspirational emails that float around.  The words are beautiful (and not baby related at all) but after each sentence there is a huge picture of an adorable baby doing one thing or another.  Essentially, she sent the woman struggling to deal with her miscarriage an email full of baby pictures.  My normal reaction to this would be panic attack and crying.  Instead, I busted out laughing like a crazy person?!?!  Yep, I've lost it.

    Yes I think we all have lost our minds. But in some sort of odd way it's to be expected.  Just think each day (nurse in the hospital told us this) You are one day closer to being okay.  I didn't get the baby picture one but I did get one that almost made me cry.  I'm sorry for your loss!

    I feel like I've lost my mind as well.  I guess it's the new normal.

    I can't even count how many times I've said to DH or thought to myself, "I feel like I'm going crazy."  Sucks.  I'm sorry.

    Wow, your friend was obviously not thinking at all. In a way your laughter is somewhat apporpiate because I mean really, how ridiculous!

    Ugh. Sorry you had to open that e-mail.

    I've done the same thing.  Usually when someone tries really hard but - like your friend - completely misses the big picture.  I'm sorry.  Your reaction seems normal to me but I'm probably in the crazy person boat too.

    Lost it for sure...I was standing next to a pregnant lady at the story and I started laughing because it seems so effing IRONIC! Out of all the people in the store, she's the one I end up standing right next to as I'm picking out my tomatoes.

    Yea I think at that point it was just so ridiculous and ironic that all I could do is laugh.  She's one of the few people who know what's going on too so I responded with a what the hell are you thinking and then explained how it made me laugh so she wouldn't feel too bad.  She wrote back with a simple "I'm such an ass" which I thought was the perfect response :)  Hey, I'll take the crazy person laughter over crying any day.

    That's happened to me too! I went to lunch with DH and we had decided that it was going to be a baby free afternoon and we weren't going to talk about what happened at all.  We were just going to enjoy some time together.

    We sat down at the table and here comes our waitress, who is about 8 months pregnant! I just started laughing hysterically. It was hilarious to me that our baby free afternoon didn't even last two minutes!

    I agree that crazy person laughter is much better than crying!
