I feel like I'm spiralling a little bit so I'm trying to gain control of myself again. I may take a break from HB, along with other social media sites just to disconnect for a bit. Besides having to work on a computer so many hours a day, doing a "technology fast" might be a good thing and unplug whenever I'm not at the office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/battling-depression-amp-ttc#post-849621 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:29:08 +0000 BSB 849621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's really hard and I've been in bouts of depression since I'm dealing with IF. When I start feeling really emotional, irrational, and just super depressed, it takes me a couple weeks to look back and realize that I'm depressed. That's when I 'will' myself into thinking more positively. It's hard and I know there are days or weeks where I just can't get out of the funk but I just try things that make me feel better (shopping, cooking, pampering myself, talking to friends)... Really just anything to distract myself. I even did the unspeakable and stepped away from HB for about two weeks, to get my mind off of baby talk. Well, that and I was on vacation last week and kept myself from checking HB.<br /> ETA: Oh, I also forgot to say that I'm currently on a TTC break so that really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/battling-depression-amp-ttc#post-849564 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:06:58 +0000 babycanuck 849564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those bees TTC now or were before and battling depression, how did you keep positive? I'm finding it really difficult these days to see the good in things... </p>
