Down...

kidnicky1321 · May 2011

I've been feeling pretty down lately. It's been the past couple days. I don't know what it could be. DH has been out of town since Monday, and usually I do okay by myself. I guess I've been a little lonely. Honestly, I don't have any friends. I mean I have people I talk to at work and school, but no real relationships. It also doesn't help that I've had BOTB like crazy. I swear everyone I know is having a baby and we're not. It is driving me nuts!

Anyway it doesn't really matter because right now is not a good time. I just started going back to school and we are definitely not financially ready for a baby. It just sucks because I don't know when we will be ready and I don't want to wait too long. Okay enough emotional nonsense from me lol. I will go back to being invisible.

*EDIT*

Thank you guys!!! It makes me feel so much better to know I'm not alone. These darn emotions keep playing with my head. I do feel better today. I would love to hang out sometime with any and all of you guys! Most of you are friends with me on facebook. If not you can always add me Rosie Lightle (Rosie Rodriguez). You guys are awesome!

Cheer up....you are not the only one who gets into funks like this. In fact I feel like I could have written your post. My DH works stretches where the only time we see each other is for about 3 minutes in the morning before I go to work. It isn't easy. We are kind of in the same boat regarding babies too. Just know you are not alone in the way you are feeling.

ditto to Christi. You are not the only one who gets into funks.

Maybe you have too much on your plate? Maybe it's the weather?

I know it's so cliche, but it will work itself out. Hang in there!

Honestly! There was something in the water...everyone is havin babies! I think it's that spring mentality...hehe like rabbits!

Don't worry you are not alone. Like pp I also don't see DH as often as I'd like. With him working 12's now we rarely see each other and it's only going to get worse when he goes to nights.

(((hugs)))) It's no fun feeling down, but like PPs have said, we all get into funks.

Try to make it your alone time, not lonely time. Do things that you love to do. Watch TV shows or movies that DH doesn't enjoy. Cook or order a dinner that you rarely get to indulge in. Turn up your favorite music as loud as you want to. Curl up with a good book or trashy magazine and your favorite cocktail... you get the idea. Not only will this allow you to enjoy your alone time, but you can also relish in the fact that you CAN do all of these things because you're NOT having babies just yet! Love the life you're living right now, and make the most of it.

And if you ever want to grab dinner or a drink, or if you ever want to fill some time with volunteering, let me know!!

I'm with Merin....if you ever want to go out let me know. DH works a lot of crazy hours in the summer and I am off work so I get a little too much "me time" and would love to hang out!

H workes second shift and I work thirds, we don't get to see each other much. I had to ask my boss for Sundays off so I could have one day with him for sure.

And I swear everyone I know is having babies and that brings up a LOT of issues for me. Unlike you, it's H going back to school, not me.

*hugs*

You are def not alone. I feel that way alot. I'm still dealing with the ex and trying to get this divorced finalized, hes just not cooperating. School this semester was hard too. I feel you on the whole friends thing, like I talk to the girls at work and there was a couple people at school, but I only have my best friend and thats it. I've been in a funk lately with my brother being gone, we're so close and to have him so far away isn't helping. FB message me if you ever want to talk or hang out. I'm in Toledo on the weekends and try not to drive back to BG so I can save some gas and I always have free time. Just know that you're not alone.

You are most definitely not alone! I've been fighting with a lot of this same stuff lately. Ours mostly has to do with jobs...we're both such loyal, motivated, qualified workers but neither one of us can land a job that's somewhat permanent and will allow us to move forward in our life. A simple job would open so many doors that just keep remaining locked, and we're SO anxious to buy a house and start a family. It's very depressing and some days, the weight of all of that just crush and overwhelm me. So no, you are most definitely not alone.
