Hello everyone. This is my first time writing here. I feel like my life is in shambles and I feel like I just cant pick up the pieces. First off I am struggling with infertility and I really want to have a baby bad. I am in a financial crisis that I feel i cant get myself out of. I am actively trying to conceive so I try not to stress but I find myself trying so hard not to stress that I end up stressing myself out. Also with all the bill and me working myself to death it kind of hard to relax. I know everyone has issues but I just feel like I need some support. I find myself always crying. I never want to do anything or go anywhere. I let my physical appearance go and all i do is want to go to sleep. I want my life back but I dont know where to start. I put my faith in God and I pray. I know he doesnt; put too much on us than we can handle but I feel I have had enough.
Maybe you should take things one step at a time....get yourself out of your financial crisis, and then worry about having a baby....because having a baby is just going to stress your finances more.
Focus on something in your control. Get that win. Stuff outside your control will fall into place or fall out of your mind. Appreciate the wins and the enjoy the present. Like sleeping through the night or going places without diaper bags, strollers, car seats, constant crying. Not dealing with temper tantrums in public places, medical complications due to labor, etc. When you really want something the negatives aren't important because there are things to appreciate. Trick is to remember there are things to appreciate now too.
It's easier to deal with one bee than a swarm. Keep stress lowered by getting a handle on one thing at a time.
you can definately use some support, you have alot going on.
ok, something that helped me was to see a financial advisor, this is a service that is low cost, based on what you make, even if you make alot, it's worth paing for the service.
check out public assisatance guidance centers and ask them for a number. obama even alotted some money for these services to help peole deal with their morgage crises.
you are so stressed, tht you're not even thinking clearly. it's hard, but do you have a counselor that you can talk to. the cryingis a big sign of depression or a chemical imbalance of the brain. you can find out. especially if you have health insurance, this may cover mental health.
make it a goal to feel better emotionally, so that you can eventually have a healthy pregnancy and enjoy your pregnancy and baby's first year. focus on your mental health, and then i bet other things will fall into place.
