Secondary IF

It might be time for me to see my counselor!

I came home after dropping my daughter off at school and slept for 5 hours. I'm a mess. UGH! Sorry to keep ranting and I'm not trying to be a "poor pitiful me", I think I'm just breaking down and loosing all hope and it fucking sucks!!!

  • Nothing wrong with talking to a counselor.  Do you have one already?  Lots of (((((((HUGS))))))) to you dear.  I know this all sucks a big one.

  • :( I'm sorry. Infertility sucks.

    I tell DH all the time (because guys don't get it) that TTC is like a full time job! It's so stressful! And exhausting!

  • I kinda agree with @mrs Castillo. I just gave someone this advice the other day about counselors etc.

    I have seen many counselors/therapists in my hay day. My parents had a horrible marriage and an even worse divorce so I saw some that were court ordered - fast forward several years and I sought out a psychiatrist for my increasing/ life interrupting panic attacks - well she was awful. I was paying BIG dollars to see this woman for a very specific area in my life- sessions started to veer off on other things which I thought were not relavent and she even fell asleep once! No f-ing joke!

    It got to the point where I felt WORSE leaving a session than it did before I even went.

    I finally decided that for the amount of money I was paying her I could get a massage at a spa and come out feeling a whole hellofa lot better ;)

    I think they're great if you find someone and the chemistry is right and if you have someone that's awesome - by all means take advantage.

    Great for fertility too! I feel like we should start a "coping" thread but, I think @jen071407 already did that with the decorating and shopping for workout clothes! Lol.

  • I was thinking we all need to take a 2IF vacation together and hang out, eat, drink, and be merry.  And maybe if we get bored we can go hang out at some place where pregnant women might frequent and throw potatoes at them if they start complaining about pregnancy symptoms.  Or I suppose you could treat yourself to a spa day instead. :)

  • Thank you so much ladies!!! I do have a counselor who is awesome but I hate going. I am so broke from our wedding and Christmas that I can't do anything nice for myself. I did manage to get Christmas pictures done and I guess I could pull some spa stuff out and just give myself a spa day. I can't wait for the new year! I am so glad to have all of your support!!! You all rock!!!

    And YES to a 2IF vacation (after the new year, of course, hehe)!!!!

    POTATO!
