Pregnancy envy

Had 2 miscarriages within 6 months. Even though my husband and close friends stayed by my side, I still feel very lonely at times. It feels like a dark hole that just keep sucking me in. I know some use work to distract themselves but I am the opposite - I have no motivation to work at all and just want to quit and take a break 😅 Pardon my random rant…but I have a gf who always complain about her pregnancy (her 2nd now). From morning sickness to food aversion to heartburn to the ‘ever growing bump that’s getting in her way’. Seriously I 🙄🙄🙄 everytime I see her posts, I got really triggered until I had to mute her account. I really hope she will realise how blessed she is and be more considerate to other ttc ladies. I feel like a crazy selfish bitch sometimes😪 but honestly I can no longer treat her/this friendship like how things used to be anymore. Any advice to help me overcome this🥺

Firstly, my sincere condolence for your loss and may you recover soon. Reading your post if the need to take a break, go ahead to do it. Speak with your spouse and let your spouse know about it. Express your feelings. Secondly, what you did was right. Mute the account. You have every right to feel that way at times. Not everyone is sensitive towards TTC ladies. Ill be honest that I do have friends who suffered miscarriage and also stillbirth. So, whenever I post something, ill hide it from them or if they comment on my post, ill be sure to apologise, ill let them know their time will come and ill always be around (of course, you know as muslim to pray to Almighty for the well being of my own friends) On the other hand, you may also send "little hint" like post on ws or ig or fb pertaining TTC. Not that I am encouraging you but sometimes people dont get it. They expect everyone to feel happy, share the good news together without realising that silently someone is feeling hurt. Maybe perhaps they will get that little hint and be more considerate with you. Hope this helps ❤️
