They're only words.
Just words.
They can't hurt.
They can be brushed aside.
I shouldn't care.
But words hurt. Especially now, when I'm open and raw and exposed; words hurt.
As I think can probably be evidenced by yesterdays post. And how riled up I was most of yesterday over dear Dr. Wendy's assertion that adoption should be left to the infertile girls - saving children in need of love and reducing carbon footprints and all that good stuff.
Just leave it to us! We're infertile after all - so this should totally be our weight to bear!
It's more than that though. My ability to take well intentioned advice in stride right now is limited, and even some words of kindness just don't feel right.
Thus, my latest post at Fertility Authority. Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones. Feel free to check it out if you've been a little wounded by words recently as well.
The truth is that what I want right now, all I want right now, is for someone to say to me "This sucks. It royally sucks. And I'm sorry."
I don't want or need anything more than that.
I suppose I just want to wallow?
Which is lame, because I am so not a wallower.
But knowing I'm not a wallower, I know it's only a matter of time before I pull it together. Only a matter of time before I get back on track. Only a matter of time before I find my way back to my happy place.
In the meantime though; can't we just acknowledge that this sucks?
And that there may not be any real solutions to the suckage any time soon?
The Week 14 Live Infertility Chat will be taking place this Sunday at 3pm Alaska Time. Same time, same place as usual. If you've never been in on a live chat before, and you have ever been affected by any form of infertility, feel free to swing by the community at that time on Sunday and join us. If you want to check out past live chats first, please do:
Live Infertility Chat: Week 13
Live Infertility Chat: Week 12
Looking forward to catching up this week ladies. To lamenting about the suckage.
And to hopefully soon; finding my way out of it.
