Reflecting...

It’s crazy how you get excited of the prospect of being pregnant and then you miscarry. It’s bad enough that I didn’t tell many people I was pregnant but what makes it worse is so many of my friends and acquaintances are pregnant and I am sitting trying not to cry about what I almost had. It’s hard...

Today is the day for the first appointment! Nervous and Excited and I am trying to figure what to wear.

Six weeks into this pregnancy and I am suffering from really sore breast, nausea to the point that I am living off of cereal and carbs and my brain is that of a goldfish. My tits look great though.

Surprise!!!! I’m pregnant. Just typing it out is soooo surreal. My life has been sooo random with work and trying to seem somewhat presentable and next thing I know I am 5 days late. I wonder if I should journal my pregnancy here or make a separate blog? I will think about it.

High-functioning anxiety sounds like…

You’re not good enough. You’re a bad friend. You’re not good at your job. You’re wasting time. You’re a waste of time. Your boyfriend doesn’t love you. You’re so needy. What are you doing with yourself? Why would you say that? What if they hate it? Why can’t you have your shit together? You’re going to get anxious and because you’re going to get anxious, you’re going to mess everything up. You’re a fraud. Just good at faking it. You’re letting everybody down. No one here likes you.

All the while, it appears perfectly calm.

It’s always looking for the next outlet, something to channel the never-ending energy. Writing. Running. List-making. Mindless tasks (whatever keeps you busy). Doing jumping jacks in the kitchen. Dancing in the living room, pretending it’s for fun, when really it’s a choreographed routine of desperation, trying to tire out the thoughts stuck in your head.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it written out as if it were describing me exactly.

This is my life. People think i’m weird but I don’t want anyone to know I am full of worry.
