Success after IF

Anyone else just breakdown some days?

Today was just awful.  I had to carry a huge cake from my car (I work at a university = long walk) b/c the guy I was supposed to call didn't answer.  I ended up leaving it in the snack shop and sent someone back because it was a 10 lb. Costco cake and I was also carrying two 2 liters.

I could NOT get an OB appt.  DH is military, and they have a "same day" appt line in the OB department.  As I am suffering from my 4th yeast infection in the past 8 weeks, I thought I should go it.  I waited 40 min on hold, called back, waited another 40 min, tried GYN and labor & delivery, and then called the patient advocate... and got the freakin answering machine!!

I sent an email to my coworkers about making a gift basket for another coworker's wife (she's on bed rest with triplets).  One coworker (who is below me and has some complex about women staying in the home) emailed me and copied it to everyone that he thought it was a bad idea and we should just do individual gifts (which I had already done - my intention was to offer to organize a group gift).

AND... I am going on active duty SOMETIME but since I am pregnant, we don't know when (I am a dentist and I owe time b/c the Navy paid for school).  AND... we are supposed to move to Okinawa in June, but now they don't know when b/c I am due in July.  AND they want me to leave my baby 6 weeks after I delivery and go away to basic training for 5 weeks.

I feel like I have no control and I can never catch a break.  Is this normal?

Thanks for letting me vent!

  • I am so sorry you had a stinky day. I hope tomorrow is extra good for you! And I completely understand the group gift, I would do the same thing.

  • Wow, that is an especially horrible day. It really sucks that the nice things you were doing (bringing a cake, trying to organize a gift for someone) were met with people who didn't help you, or even worse, criticized you! And waiting on hold for 40 minutes TWICE would have sent me through the roof!

     I think you owe yourself a huge pat on the back that you got through this day (I think I would have turned around and headed home to cry). Try to have a nice, relaxing evening doing whatever makes  you happy (some ice cream, a cheesy movie/TV, whatever).

  • golly...vent away..that is all tough to deal with..i definitely had "breakdown" days (and still do, you might notice ;)

    i don't have any advice really, but i know getting it out sometimes helps..try to relax and do something for yourself..you deserve it..

    and i think your idea for your friend at work was nice..screw that guy..email everybody and keep him out of it..the butthead?
