A "whats the point of it all" stage. Its getting better I promise. Take time to imagine all the different scenarios your life could take on. Think of something you never thought was possible and allow yourself to start dreaming about it. I can definitely relate to feeling like everyone else around you has kids. I live in Utah which has the highest birthrate in the country. Literally everyone has kids. Look up No Kidding. Its a social meet up site for women without kids, maybe you can meet some new peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142131856196620274.post-57476414941556880382013-07-31T20:33:44.271-07:002013-07-31T20:33:44.271-07:00I completely relate to the just wanting to run awa...I completely relate to the just wanting to run away.

I can literally feel your pain and fear, it's a scary position to be in! Your words ring very true for me right now because we are *this* close to calling it quits forever on trying to have a biological child. It makes me want to run away to a cabin in the woods where I can live peacefully without having to encounter another mommy crowd or Facebook pregnancy announcement. I'm so sorry to hear about your crisis of faith too...I pray that you will pull through and come out on the other side with even stronger faith. God's with you right now, even if you can't see Him or understand what He's up to.

I got through a few months of really, really hard stuff, then it started easing, but once in a while something happens and all of a sudden I want to burst into tears or kick someone again. Or both. I still feel like I'm not quite a woman because I can't get pregnant. I feel like I'm lacking. It still pokes at me, despite adoption.<br /><br />If you'd like to talk, feel free to email - I'm wendryn@gmail.com. I'm happy to talk about faith problems, too, since I have been through those struggles. I ended up an atheist, but I promise I don't push. I just know some of what you are dealing with.<br /><br />I hope tomorrow is easier, and next week is easier, and next month you'll be able to breathe a little more freely and smile at things without thinking about it. *hugs*wendrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997119641497745602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142131856196620274.post-37468776631426658452013-07-31T11:24:51.486-07:002013-07-31T11:24:51.486-07:00I'll be sure to let you know if I find a short...I'll be sure to let you know if I find a shortcut.
