I am really struggling with self-esteem right now. I know it's likely "all in my head," however I feel like my self-perception has completely tanked. I feel completely undesirable and I am so sensitive to any kind of rejection from my husband. I am literally at the point where I want to stop TTC. I hate having sex completely driven by what day of the month it is, and me having total responsibility for saying when we "have to have sex." I feel like he's not even attracted to me anymore.
All of this has led me to feeling completely undesirable. I feel awful. I am sorry, this is really venting I guess. I just realize that I am feeling worse and worse about myself every month. It sucks, I never use to be insecure like this.
I vented more in my blog today, just had to get it out, so I'll stop here. I just hate feeling so awfully insecure.
The Mirror Has Two Faces: Infertility and Self-Perception
This morning, as with every morning, I found myself face to face with, well myself.
And it suddenly struck me that somewhere along the way, some time along the way; I stopped liking the reflection I saw in the mirror.
Dont get me wrong, I have never been the most beautiful woman in the room. Yet I always knew I could turn a few heads....

You might need some me time. You deserve it and are worth it.
Its the worst feeling and infertility just sucks!!!
I do think me time helps--like getting your hair done (spend money on myself not doctor appointments, what?!!) or a great outfit, even going for a run--anything that will make you feel like the magical beautiful woman you are!
