Whether through a group of like-minded folks or professional counseling, spend some time hearing "you're okay," "I feel like that, too," "we know what you mean," and you'll feel like a different person.
If you find yourself unable to pull any happiness up from within yourself, then wait no longer to talk to someone. Resources are plentiful, online or off. Some are even free of charge. No excuses!
Consider this -- if you can't figure out a way to comfort yourself and get help when you need it, how will you fare later down the road with a totally dependent little person? Taking care of yourself is great training for parenting -- use this challenge to your advantage, and earn your advanced degree in Caring.
Get selfish now, before it's too late!
It might help to hear that, theoretically, most people visiting this site will probably be successful with their attempts to have children. If your family-building struggles end with the addition of children to your home through one manner or another, then you'll look back and relish those days and nights when you took precious time and spent it with each other or by yourself, doing things that cannot be done with a little one.
Come on, it's holiday time -- take time to rejoice in what you already have!
