getting emotional at work

ralphlauren · March 2011

does this ever happen to you? What do you do? I feel like I want to go home but I can't do this every time I am upset over a bad dr appt or someone else is pregnant and not me. Its such an awful feeling though.

Sorry you're sad today. It does happen to me, too. Then I come on here (now that I know how helpful it is!) and chat a bit. I also filled my office with really positive posters and memorabilia - not those motivational posters that were popular in 1992, but nice ones. If you are able to, just excuse yourself for fifteen or twenty minutes. Sometimes I'll go for a drive around the block or I'll get some sunshine and call my DH. HTH...it's really tough, but just remember that anytime you feel down you have lots of people here who understand. Take care of yourself.

Oh. I am sorry you are sad today... I am a teacher, and it upsets me everytime I get a new class, and they ask if I have kids and when I say no, they ask why don't you have ant. What pisses me off the most is 19 year olds that have 3 kids, and complain about not being able to find a sitter, cause they wanna go out and party...Or ones tbat have 3 kids, and have no custody...thwn they wanna offer parenting advice...

honestly some days just suck and i can feel tears ready to fall.

i find if i do something really repetitive it helps me focus on something other than my wanting to cry. i also try to do some controlled breathing and pray.

Sorry, you are having a bad day at work.

Last time I got a BFN, I cried on and off all day. It was awful. I just kept my head down and hoped no one would stop by...

I'm sorry you're having a tough day. I think we've all been there. I try to stick it out by counting down the hours until I leave or distracting myself with work or an online game if things are slow. Also, I try really hard to let myself feel what I'm feeling without beating myself up about it...I figure everyone has bad days for reasons other than IF and, while I don't want to bawl at work, I don't have to be smiling all day either.

HUGS!!!! I had a bad day at work yesterday! I tried to act like I was on the phone so people wouldnt talk to me and I told people I just sneezed when they asked why my eyes are watery! SORRY

Thats funny. I should try the phone thing. A guy walked in and my eyes were all teary and I pretended it was my contacts. Then I went for a walk to the Borders near here that is closing and bought myself some books so now I feel better.

Thanks for the support girls. I haven't been coming on here as often recently because I was starting to lose hope that anything would ever happen for me. Today I saw that a friend is having baby #2. I have been trying since before many of my friends were even married. Its hard to be around sometimes. As much as I don't want anyone else to feel this way, it is nice to not feel so alone.

I'm sorry you are having a tough day. ((hugs))

I'm sorry your having a tough day - I have been blaming the "watery eyes" on "Spring Allergies".. LOL at least that makes them not think twice and move on to what they stopped by to talk about.

(HUGS) Hang in there !

I'm having a rough day too! IF sucks! I just stay quiet and to myself, check these boards (and make sure I get some hope from the PGAIF board) and vent on a post on here if I'm really down. If it's warm out, I go for a walk....I hate those days when I can barely get myself together. Hang in there! Tomorrow's a new day and I hope it's a better one.

This happened to me the other day. I usually at least shut my office door when I start feeling upset or frustrated (although people sometimes ignore that oh-so-subtle hint), but this time I didn't get a chance -- I was focused on work, then suddenly I was tearing up thinking about everything. The next thing I know, a male co-worker who's my age popped into my office to say hi. I used the ol' allergies excuse, but I'm pretty sure he didn't buy it because he backed out pretty quickly. It kinda sucked because he's the office's biggest gossip, so I'm mad I didn't get to hear whatever rumors he came in to spread, and imagining how my "allergies" are being spun kind of makes me a little paranoid (but I have to admit it also entertains me).
