I tell myself this all the time... positive outlooks on pretty much everything... But.....
Now I'm in a slump... very irriatable, annoyed, I spaze out on everybody.... Afterwards I regret it and look back thinking that I was never like this..... I need some other ways to cope with my anger... totally caused to the fact that my own body is not working with me. Who knew that TTC would bring out soooo much anger in a person (Me). I need to get a grip.... Vent..... How do you ladies cope... What do you do?

If you're a kickboxing sort, go hit/kick something.....i'm a spa sort so when i got really angry/frustrated after my 1st loss I went for a some extra "me" relaxing time. Haven't managed to do that recently...but it's helpful sometimes to just take your mind off of TTC, which can definitely become obsessive.

I also tried to focus on what i could control vs what I couldn't....so much of this process is out of your hands (even though we wish we could control it) and you can drive yourself crazy worrying about things you can't change. There is some peace (eventually) in letting go of what you can't control and trying to focus on the positive steps you can take (no matter how small) that you do have control over.

I really do need to hit something... I just need to let all this negative energy out without giving it to any else... poor souls who cross my path....

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. Usually I try to immerse myself in more work but I always end up getting it all out on DH

I agree 100% with this entire statement. Especially the latter part. There is so much in TTC that we can't control. So do the things you can: vitamins, OPK's, eating healthy, etc and to stop beating yourself up things you can't control.
Do you think writing or journaling could help you get rid of some of your anger?
And we are here for you to vent.

I run. I put in my headphones, turn on my ipod and just run. Its just me and pavement/treadmill depending on the day. It clears my head, relieves my stress and I feel awesome after.

[.:Shortcake:.]

I keep everything in for as long as I can (which is not good). To let it out I sing. I write out how I'm feeling and then end up putting my words into a song and belting it out. Another thing that always helps me is getting away from everything and everyone and sitting by the water. Water just seems to calm me.

I started a blog with pregnancy I lost. I had planned on it being a blog about the pregnancy but it has turned into a blog for my time of grieving. It's tough. I'm sorry.
