Comment on The “Yummy! Yummy!” Club by Emma

Honestly when I really really think about what I am doing and what I want to be doing in the near future then the answer would be a clear “No, I am not yet ready to have kids because I still want to finish uni, go travelling, study overseas, sing and …” but there is still that niggling feeling that maybe it would be worth it to just give it a miss and be like the rest of the crowd. I think me and my brown M&M doll are going to be hanging out together a bit longer.

Do you really want to be giving up nights full of sleep anytime soon?
In all seriousness, I’m quite happy to sit on the sidelines with you for this one too. We can start our very own club! :)

Comment on I am a nasty person. by Candice

I love it!
It is true to what we are feeling when we aren’t meeting our needs and have nowhere else to go with our feelings. The explosion or for some an inplosion.
I call this the teething phase for something new or transitional phase.
One thing that we can’t shed and it is this humanity.

There are times in every persons life that these things have been true for them.

It is realizing these things and working to change them that makes us who we are.

You don’t have to change anything, but you can if you want to.

I love you. It’s okay that you are like this at times, because you are many other things at other times. I do not only register the difficult things, I weigh the whole person.

On the whole, you are good, loving, fun, smart, sexy, warm and human. This is not the entire list, just some highlights :-)

I am glad you still want to live with me. We are a good team, 90% of the time ;-) that’s plenty good enough to keep working on that last 10%!

you may not be self sabotaging at all. i had a similar problem, couldn’t sleep at a decent hour even if i went to bed early. i put it down to not doing enough exercise. when we have a job we are doing exercise both physically (walking around the office/school etc) and mentally (thinking about what needs to be done/doing what needs to be done etc) and when we stop working, that physical and mental exercise that usually tires us out isn’t there anymore so your body isn’t tired and in need of rest. or you could be like me and get bored easily or feel unproductive when not working so finding something to do makes us feel like we’re not wasting time.
i’m struggling not working at the moment. i worked for 6 and a half months and saved enough that i don’t need to work for 6 months and have been travelling here, there and everywhere which is awesome but i just feel lazy not working. ridiculous i know!

Em, this is normal. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or you aren’t happy for them, just that humans are complicated and able to have a lot of different emotions going on at one time.
Obviously again, I work in an area where we see people who have lost or had to end a much wanted pregnancy- they often talk about how difficult it is when they see people pushing prams, other pregnant mums and when friends or family have ‘easy’ pregnancies and births. We discuss how you can feel genuinely happy for the person and at the same time twisted up and jealous and hurt because what has happened to you is so unfair.
It’s not a nice feeling, but you aren’t alone. Call me if you need. Or if you want to talk to people who have been through it Sids and Kids support loss of a child from conception onwards- they are a good support network too.
Take care Em, thinking of you.
