I remember these feelings very well and they're very REAL. you've identified yourself for so long as being one way, and now all that has changed. it's difficult to accept, even though the source for the change is a wonderful thing. i'm afraid that it never goes away because you'll never be the old 'you' again. But, it will get easier to accept in time. And there

I hope you're feeling better. Things are tough sometimes, especially things out of our control. I really hope these next few weeks are uneventful for you. Hang in there. (((Hugs)))

I just stumbled on your blog this morning, I hope you are feeling better. I have been to the place you describe in this post and struggled with infertility myself. I also loved the post Nov. 12, how everything will change!! I pray that things are going well for you.

I just had my daughter in September, so I can feel your pain. I was constantly gloomy myself and it didn't help that I was home alone all day long until 6-8pm..sometimes later than that. Being 6-7 months pregnant is just the start of the gloomy-ness, well it was for me. The farther along that I was, the more emotional that I got. Like you, I was oh, so excited, but my emotions got the

Even though I only knew of my pregnancy for 9 days, I remember those feelings I got... the worry, the "where do I belong now" feelings, the (for lack of a better term) depression. I cried a lot during those 9 days (and of course, months afterwards), and I don't know if it was hormones (it probably was, b/c I get the worst PMS; as you probably know) or just like how you said "It

I'm sorry that you're feeling melancholy. My guess is a combination of pregnancy hormones, SAD, and lack of activity. I always feel horrible when I've just been sitting around for too long, and you're such an active person. I can imagine that it's hard.

As for the isolation, I still feel it two years after Eggbert was born. I'm still not one thing or the other.

2009-11-27T15:34:29.380-06:00

The thing I find hard about the lonely/melancholy feeling is the guilt that comes along with it. I mean, the lonely and melancholy part isn't any fun either, but the guilt just makes it harder. Hormones are totally a large part of it, but the other stuff is too. Maybe if you start reading a fun book, it will help take your mind off it, even for just a little while.

I don't have any real insight on the pregnant thing. BUT. I can say that I your feelings of isolation associated with transitioning from IF to pg seem pretty normal... or at least understandable.

I'm excited for January for you too! :)

I vote for hormones too. But don't discount the time of year & the whole SAD thing. I just wrote a venting post this past week about how November is my second-least favourite month. Dark, grey, gloomy. :p

I'm betting hormones are a significant factor along with all the other crap. I've had periods of that type of feeling that were AWFUL during this. And BH sucks, but you'll be ok!

Hope it doesn't die? Wow. Brave to say huh?

Lovely, honest post, my friend. (I hope you do not feel as though you have lost me!)

I am sorry to hear you are struggling with feelings of isolation and general moodiness. I would guess the large slice is hormonal, but I'm no expert. The other part is just as real- changing teams, finding your new place, making new friends, shedding part of your old comfortable familiar self and
