At some point in my life, I want to have children. However, I know I'm not ready quite yet. Yet I keep feeling this longing to have children to the point where it actually makes me get depressed, and I even cry. I'm sure it's hormonal, but knowing why I feel this way doesn't make it any better. It's really, really painful. Has anyone here been thru this? Is there anyway I can make myself feel better that doesn't involve getting pregnant?
what works for me is to go to my sister-in-law's house. She has 7 kids, including a new-born baby. Her house is chaotic. Whenever I leave I'm GLAD I don't have kids. You could also try going to the grocery store when its really busy and listening to all the whining children. That works too!
haha! kin ell! 7 kids!!!! haha I only just realised I have 6 siblings also. Yeah I get that though. I think it's just a natural, womans instinct type thing. Especially get it at certain times of the month. I have no idea how to stop it apart from actually having one. So I failed at that question If you can get a puppy then go for it (if you want one). I asked but they said not until I leave home *sob* but they will get upset if I leave home now! Where's the fairness in that! so I have to wait till uni, where my halls will probably not LET me have a dog. I can't win either way
Oh my god I thought I was the only one who got that! I have huge longings for a baby, and a husband and a family of my own. Of course I can't have any of these yet, I don't have the man for the equation, but one day...
Lol we have a dog, actually. I'm not sure it's the same thing. Yeah, the depressive longing is gone. They kinda come in chunks- these feeling come really strong for a short period of time. I have a strong feeling that that might have something to do with my ovulation cycle. I still daydream and stuff about kids, but at least I'm not depressed.
glad to hear you're feeling better i think next time it comes around you just have to try and remember that you'll come out the other side of it again, and the depressing feelings are only in passing. sure it doesnt feel like it at the time, but...i dunno. do someting to help take your mind off it somehow. do something that will keep your brain busy.
