I would define my mood as bordering on insanity. I went to see a therapist, who I hadn't gone to talk to since my x-husband walked out on me on Christmas eve. During that time 5 years ago, she gave me some excellent advice. If you are feeling depressed and hopeless...go volunteer your time to the less fortunate. Go work in a soup kitchen, help out at a woman's shelter, etc. Fantastic way to heal the soul.
This time around her advice is as follows:
1. Shut up. Only talk to the closest friends and confidantes. This issue is so controversial and sensitive, that I'm setting myself up for someone to unintentionally make me feel worse, guilty, uncomfortable, unsure.
2. Walk. So I've been walking. Rain. Sleet. Snow. Cold. I walk an hour to work every day.
3. Play more with the child. I have made a huge effort to spend as much time with him as possible. And he loves extra attention and kisses from Mommy...
Waiting these 4 more weeks before I'll know whether I'll be having a healthy baby in June or not, is a curious and painful trip.
