How do you keep the wanting of a child from overtaking your life???? I need help with this. I know i am not the only one wanting a child and not getting one but the want keeps getting stronger and i dont know how to deal with it. My whole family and all my friends think there is something wrong with me cause i just break down and cry. I went shopping with shannon and another friend of mine and i started crying in the middle of the store because of all the pregnant women i was seeing. and some of them were like 14. i feel like i am going crazy. i just dont know how to get this under control. I am tired of my heart hurting. I can even be happy for friends of mine because it hurts to bad. i am sorry to keep bothering yall with this. thanks

counseling? talk to someone from the church? I'm sorry you're going through this. :hugs

I kinda know how you feel. I want another child but there's no way I can have one right now. Sometimes I can't look at pregnant women or baby clothes without getting jealous. I hope you can work through this sweetie. It will happen for you, all in good time.

i would go to a counselor but i can't. i open up on here because i dont have to see the pity(sp) looks. I dont open up that easy in person, i am not use to it. i feel bad for not being happy for people, i put on a front but idk. i just have issues.

I understand.

I know exactly how you feel, you have an alli in me! I just vented in the TTC forum. It's so hard seeing pregnant women and babies when you want one so bad! And the younger the pregnant woman is the harder it is to see them! We've been TTC for 3 years now, I went through your same state of mind after the first year and a half then I kind of got over it until this month's AF visit. I have been a depressed wreck this go around!

You take it one day at a time. Some days are easy, others are hard. Talk about it-even if it only is to an online journal or paper journal or something. Get those feelings out. Focus on the fact that you WILL have a baby someday, even though that someday is hard to see. Keep busy-get new hobbies, etc. Set goals that you want to accomplish before you have a child-things like traveling to Africa, Asia, etc, going skidiving, etc.

I am sorry, if you ever need to talk, i am here. I think that is why i am like i am now too cause AF just left. I wasn't having sex but its still the point. i know that doesn't make any since.
