are weekends tough for you?

we just got back from a great mini getaway with friends this past weekend.  the weather was beautiful and we had some great company.  when DH & I got home though, both of us immediately went into a depression.  this isn't the first time we've had rough patches over the weekend.  i don't get it.  am i pretending to be too normal during the week so that it hits me more over the weekend?  is it b/c we don't have as much distraction?  is it b/c we see all the young families out and about?  it's probably all of the above.  i just wish we could get through one weekend without breaking down.  i'm so emotionally drained...

thanks for listening

    It took me awhile before I looked forward to weekends again.  For me, during the week I always have plans and during the weekend I don't. Yesterday was the first day that I was home alone and didn't end up being depressed all day.

    Interesting- it's just the opposite for me. I spend weekdays being around ppl who don't know about pg/m/c and I feel like I am faking it all week long. Then I usually have an emotional meltdown on Friday after work (sometimes Thursday if it's feeling like a particularly long week) and then I LOVE the weekends b/c DH and I are by ourselves and can just do the things we like to do w/o being fakey fake all hours of the day.

    In any case, no matter when you deal w/ it, I understand the feeling of the emotional drain. This whole experience is exhausting!

    Too much free time on the weekend. I always breakdown then. The week days are much better because I am so focused on work and other daily routines. I've grown to dread the weekends because I just seem to cry...

    I cry every time I get in the car. I guess it is the same idea. Too much of nothing to keep your brain occupied. You're little getaway sounds nice though!

    Being home (nights, weekends) is the hardest.  I am so glad DH and I were able to go ahead with our trip a week after m/c because I actually felt human, like the only thing that mattered in life was being on vacation with my wonderful husband.  Fast forward to hour 6 of the 7 hour drive home...I lost it.  This weekend we were at my parents', 1.5 hours away, and I felt dread in my chest driving home today.  For me busy = good(er). 

    I am actually at my worst when I am on here in the evenings, yet, I feel like it is my daily release, and I feel in control knowing that I can safely let my guard down, have some release, and still be able to cope the rest of my day.  To anyone else, that might sound like I should just avoid this place or that it's not good for me, but I hope you ladies undertand why I think this board is actually cathartic and supportive for me.
