anyone having downer days, not the don't feel good, but just your mood is really low. Today I just want to crawl
into a corner and cry for no reason at all. I've been mopey all day.

Re: Down Days
You're not alone! Sometimes I try to just do one small thing to make me feel less horrific, like a bag of gummy worms or a movie. Remember that tomorrow is another day.
Sometimes working out (mostly walks for me), getting out of the house, or just something "for me" like a fancy coffee or hiding in the basement while my husband does bath and bedtime helps lighten the cloud a bit and makes me feel more like the old me.

@coffee89 I think taking walks/runs is a great for the "down" days. I hope it starts getting sunny here where I am.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.

IT'S A BOY!!!
That whole event just got me super bummed that I wouldn't be able to do anything normal, like go for walks outside, this whole pregnancy. Kind of dramatic I know, but I just needed to take that day to pout. I spent the rest of the day wallowing, and it was needed. But since then I've been adding in some healthy coping skills to force myself to change the way I think about the situation. I've felt so much better and more normal since then. And I've gone for walks outside and been fine, because I had my husband there to calm my anxiety. I think the hormones are totally playing into all of this too! If you need help with developing some healthy coping skills, I would highly recommend therapy. Especially if you have relied on meds in the past that you can't use now. Hang in there ladies!!!
It's a boy!
1.My MIL has cancer, and it isn't looking good.
2. I recently applied for a new job within my department that would be a little step up. I'm actually doing that job plus my job right now, ever since a coworker left. The hiring manager is my supervisor and I'm the only internal candidate, so everyone assumed I would automatically get the job. Well I don't think I did, because my boss is acting weird about it and not telling me the decision as early as originally discussed. I feel vulnerable and hurt that they may not think I'm worthy of a job I'm already rocking anyway!
3. I had an early loss in December, and the whole PGAL thing is kicking my arse again. I thought I was finally over all the fears, but I had a bad dream the other night that made it all return.
i know I would feel better if I got myself up and out of the house, but I just want to have a hormonal pitty party in bed.
INstead of feeling down, I'm having bouts or days of anxiety. I'll be perfectly fine one day and the next, I'll wake up and the sky is falling. It blows and it's turned me into a control freak. My way of combating my anxiety is to have as controlled an environment as possible. Unfortunately, it's not always possible. My poor H.
