Feeling down xx

5 Replies

Having a really bad day emotionally! Had a lovely weekend with my husband and he’s gone back to work today and I feel the emotion taking over me I can’t describe the pain I feel in my heart. It feels like everyone around me are having babies and I can’t escape the feeling of wanting my own! Most days I am strong and I can tell myself to carry on but today is not like that! I no I will be ok because I have to be! Sending my love to everyone who feels this way I understand xx you are not alone <3 xx

Hi lovely! I get these feelings quite often too :’( it’s usually a pregnancy announcement or baby-related post on social media that gets me. I’ve unfollowed lots of people on Facebook and have deleted my Instagram completely due to this. But something will still catch me now and again and I feel like I’ve been kicked in the stomach. You’re not alone either! We can and will get through it! Sending lots of love xxx

Hi Sandbeaches. So sorry to hear this. It's such a stressful time just now for all you ladies trying to conceive.Nothing we can do about the babies around us, they will always be there. Just try as hard as you can to be hopeful. There is a charity called the "British Infertility Counselling Association" bica.net who deal solely with all fertility problems and relationships while going through investigations and treatment. There is a charge, but perhaps they may be able to help you just now. You need to access them online. Thinking of you. Diane

We totally get it and this forum is one of the best things I’ve found to reach out for support.

The best thing I have learnt is to not try and fight the sadness and allow yourself to feel it as what we are all going through is really hard and really tough. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling down. Be kind to yourself.

But after a bad day, make sure to follow with a positive day! We’ve got this and we will get there 🙌🏻❤️

You are definitely not alone, my lovely. It is hard to speak to friends who are not gushing about their babies or children. Be strong but don't be too hard on yourself. You deserve a day to commiserate and feel sorry for yourself too. Big hug xxxx
