Hi guys, not sure how much traffic this board gets, but I guess finding some people who can relate to my current struggles would at least make me feel less like I am totally isolated in how I feel.
My home board is GKU, been there longer than anyone hopes to we are hopefully starting testing with an RE this summer, but the uncertainty and fear of the fertility issue being hard to treat or really expensive has been weighing on me. Without even knowing any test results, I am pessimistic at being able to afford what it would take to add to our family.
Life keeps hitting us hard with things like a car accident (H thankfully is fine!), family drama and strain, financial hits that are the bank's mistake, and major job stress. It's almost like a cosmic plan to see how much can go wrong.
I don't want to leave my bed. Our house is a disaster. I do the bare minimum to function. Very few things seem fun anymore and it feels like there's nothing to look forward to but more stress and more disappointment.
I had my first intake appointment with a therapist last week and I feel like she will be a good fit for me, but it's hard to get through a whole week before I have somewhere to cry and speak freely again. I live out of state from my family and close friends and don't have many good, close relationships here yet. H can only understand so much before it overloads him, which makes me feel bad.
TL;DR -- hi, I think I am depressed and anxious, hope to be able to support people who are suffering, too.
