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🥺

I’m so sorry for your losses. Thank you for sharing your experience, your actions are absolutely valid. Its so hard!!!! Losses are not uncommon but yet it’s never talked about, making the experience so isolating. I had a loss last year and a friend close to me got pregnant this year. Abit sian cause I passed her all my ovulation kits before my loss last year lol!! I couldn’t listen to her complains about pregnancy and preparation for birth/baby. It really sucks that no one can understand the pain of loss unless they have been through it. So people tend to underestimate the mental toll. Thankfully it was all on text so I kept my msges very short and congratulatory. It was easier to keep my emotions in check on text lol I also told her and other friends that I am taking a break from physical meetups so won’t be meeting anyone for awhile. I only meet up with people I am safe with. Another friend of mine also had a loss last year and she’s taking a looong no pay leave from work since then to focus on her mental health and physical recovery. Be kind to yourself!!! Take care!! ❤️❤️❤️
