Lea's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
June 22, 1999
Last week I finally had enough. I've realized that I am having a real
hard time dealing with losing this baby. I have decided to see a counselor
about it. When I went into the hospital for the D&C, the nurses offered me
someone to talk to then if I needed it. Well, now I do. I have an
appointment tonight after work. I have been a real cantankerous cow of
late. My poor hubby doesn't know what has hit. I have also been very
bitter toward a lot of people. I have had no patience and the smallest
comment said to me really offends.
I went to my in-laws for dinner a week or so ago (which I don't normally do, as I don't really get along with them that well, but that's another story). I went because I didn't want to be home alone and DH goes without me normally. Anyway, my sister-in-law was also there and she has a 10-month-old boy. All night they only talked about her baby, how cute he was, how he did this, how he did that. I felt really uncomfortable and quite miserable actually. Not once did they ask how I was or if I was okay. I thought it was really insensitive, so needless to say I won't be going back. That is one of the reasons that I decided that I need help getting through this. I sound like a total misery case. I just never thought it would be this hard.
Well, for the positive side I am hoping that AF will show up within the next week. The hard part is that I don't know what my cycle will do this time round, but I did have signs of ovulation a couple of weeks ago; whether that was it or not I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see. I have never wanted my period to hurry up so badly in all my life!
I'll update after my counseling session to let you all know how this nutcase is going!!!
