I had TTC breakdowns, too, most of them directed at my poor husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-56316 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:13:20 +0000 arielle9510 56316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad you are feeling better and being proactive. Good luck with the interview! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-56207 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:44:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 56207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You guys are the best! Feeling a lot better today -- and I just got an appointment with an OB next month to go through everything to see if something is up. I also ordered one of those sperm test kits on amazon - that way we can get an initial read on his sperm count...</p> <p>@arielle9510: Totally on it - have a third interview next week! Hoping I get it!!</p> <p>@PastaAndPotato: Agreed - is EVERYONE preggo right now??? Seems like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-56060 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:56:29 +0000 PastaAndPotato 56060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally not alone - i had a minor crying jag yesterday because i had the "everyone is pregnant but me" moment when i found out a friend of mine is pregnant with her second.</p> <p>TTC is incredibly emotional, and theres no right or wrong way to feel about it (at least that's what i keep telling myself haha) - but you totally shouldn't feel alone, we're all here if you need to talk it out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-56055 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:40:15 +0000 arielle9510 56055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trust me you are NOT alone in this at all. I had a cry on the phone with my mom the other day because I haven't ovulated yet this month. </p> <p>I do talk to my husband about it, but I don't think he quite understands the emotional rolleroaster it really is. I know he wants a baby, but I don't think he feels the frustration that I'm feeling. My mom told me I need to distract myself and shift focus to something else. I do have a lot going on right now in my business so that should help. I'd suggest you try and find something to distract yourself. I know what it's like to hate your job too! Maybe put your energy towards finding a new job? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-56049 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:13:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 56049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You definitely are not alone. I have had my fair share of I hate TTC breakdowns. It's an emotional rolled coaster for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55992 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:01:29 +0000 heffalump 55992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do that to, hold everything in and then of course blow up at my husband. Usually when I have my period. And as much as I know it's stupid and I need to communicate with him, I still do it. Maybe you can try to find something less stressful to focus on, like redecorating a room. Hope you're feeling better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55990 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:59:39 +0000 cyneswith 55990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the same boat. I even hate my lack-of-work situation (which is in limbo while hubby does job search.) 'Course, hubby's lack of support is more on the labor and delivery side of the whole pregnancy issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55972 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:34:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 55972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you aren't alone, I'm having the same job issues and I tend to get tense with the whole TTC thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55941 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:45:53 +0000 mrskc 55941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not alone. My job can be pretty boring and slow at times, and I think it fuels my obsessiveness over getting pregnant. I talk to my DH a lot about it. I think he might be getting sick of it, but he understands. I try to find other things to focus on, and that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55916 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:10:39 +0000 Rescuemom10 55916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Def understandable. Like everyone else has said you are not alone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55889 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:49:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 55889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks all! it's great to hear from everyone else and it's so great to have this space to vent and come for support!!</p> <p>husband is being amazing. he just set up a fantastic date for tonight so now I just need to get through this never-ending workday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55851 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:59:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 55851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww.. hang in there and know that you have us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55844 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:47:27 +0000 mrsjyw 55844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are totally not alone. We got into a tiff the other night where I spazzed on him about having to keep track of days and my body and all that fun stuff we woman get to go through! I did realize that I'd been keeping stuff from him and he understood and wanted a chance to alleviate the stress I took on alone. Now that you've shared your feelings, I'm sure that your husband will know and be supportive throughout your process :) good baby juju for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55817 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:14:34 +0000 MrsLilybugg 55817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are definitely not alone in this. TTC is soooo emotional. And sometimes I feel like nobody else except those that are going through/have gone through the TTC journey know the right thing to say. It's almost like uncharted territory, this limbo of worry, but trying-not-to-worry, of being concerned as to why it didn't happen right away, but not openly admitting to it for fear of jinxing yourself, etc. What I'm trying to say is, I know how you feel! Now that you finally vented to your husband your feelings, I am sure that he will be more supportive of your emotions in this process. I'm glad you were able to vent here, too! So helpful, these boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55815 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:09:06 +0000 shinystraps 55815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah... I do this too :( For some reason, the drive to work is the time when it usually hits me. The good news is that after crying it all out, I normally feel better for a few days - maybe that will be the case for you too? I hope you have a good weekend that helps make everything feel a little bit better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55806 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:54:19 +0000 MamaMoose 55806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally get this. It's hard too because men just don't stress about things. And if your husband is like mine they are "fixers". I used to complain to my husband about concerns about getting pregnant. And now that I am (just barely!) I complain to him about my concerns about symptoms and what if something is wrong. He just tells me not to worry and he's sure everything will be just fine. And it makes me sooo mad! I know that he's just more relaxed and that's a good thing. But when he responds like that it makes me feel dismissed. I want him to back me up when he thinks he just needs make me not worry. It can be tricky : ) Hang in there and just have really open communication with each other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55795 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:32:13 +0000 Mrs.VW 55795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO, you are not crazy at all for feeling like that! I had a similar situation, where I tried to keep it all in, ended up feeling like I was the only one doing anything and making it worse! Once I talked to my husband, he had a better idea of what was going on and I started to share more details with him, not everything :) But more and it helped. I show him my chart, just here and there, to keep him in the loop and it's really helped. This process can make the best of us a little loopy. Hang in there, it does get better! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-emotional-breakdown-this-morning#post-55790 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:26:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 55790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yikes. </p> <p>I got in a little tiff with my husband this morning and as i was commuting into work i called him to talk about it - and ended up crying the whole way in, and just feeling completely overwhelmed/frustrated/alone in this whole ttc process.</p> <p>it's funny - i feel like I am sort of denying the fact that it's not happening right away - admitting to it makes me feel shitty. so I don't want to talk about it or say it out loud. you know?</p> <p>then, I haven't been talking to my husband about it because I don't want him to think i'm crazy, or to make him feel upset/overwhelmed aslo - but really, i need his support and he's really the only one I can talk to. so I've been semi-resenting him, when really, it's all MY fault because I'm not talking to him &amp; letting him know how I feel.</p> <p>at the same time - i am actually OK if this doesn't happen immediately - so WHY am I obsessing about ttc, on this board, constantly wondering what's wrong, googling, taking new vitamins, etc etc? </p> <p>I think a lot has to do with the fact that i HATE my job - so I'm focusing on this, and it's not happening... but yeah. I feel like i need to take a step back, re-evaluate, assure myself that it will BE OK and just enjoy life.</p> <p>I'm not the only one who feels like this right? Yikes... needed that SUPER cry today... feeling a little better already. </p>
