Already drowning.

May 29, 2013 20:49

Hey hey boys and girls. Sorry it's been so long since I last posted but it has been one hell of a year so far. However I won't bore you with my lame ass excuses for letting my journal entries lapse and instead shall just get on with it.

As my regular readers will know I have lost two pregnancies during my time on this planet. Neither one was particularly easy, however my second is the one I find most difficult to deal with when the anniversary comes around. Unfortunately that day is only two days away and already I am starting to struggle. For whatever reason it is hitting me much harder this year than it did last. Perhaps it's because so many of my friends are getting married and/or having families of their own. I'd never begrudge them their happiness, far from it, but it is so difficult for me to share in their joy because they have something I know I never will.

T.V. hasn't ben much of an escape because I get inundated with adverts for diapers and formula and educational toys featuring countless adorable babies. I swear to the gods that it's like a knife direct to my heart. I mean it physically hurts me and I struggle to breathe. It's a frightening thing to feel like you're dying and know there isn't a fucking thing you can do to make it stop.

Once again, like I am pathetic enough to keep doing, I feel that good old rage towards my ex-husband because I doubt very much that he carries this burden like I still do. He got to move on to wife number two who gave him the son he so desperately wanted, while I have to bare it all by myself. I can't share this grief with anyone and even if I could I don't know that I have the words to explain.

The temptation is to either crawl between the sheets and hide or to camp out on the kitchen floor and drink myself into a state of oblivion so I can't feel anything anymore. I know neither one is particularly productive or helpful but damned if I know what else to do. The usual routines and remembrances are offering very little comfort. The people I want to seek solace in aren't a part of my life any longer. I'm desperately floundering and there's nobody out there to save me.

Fuck me I've probably depressed everyone out in the real world to a state of coma. Be that the case (or even if its not) it would probably be a good plan for me to shut the fuck up for tonight and move on to different things. I pray that you all have the best of nights and that nothing but good things come your way. Peace, love and headbutts y'all!
