Question

How do I get my mind on something else?

I'm new to TTC and I have an obsessive personality. I can't stop thinking about getting pregnant. I need to find something to help me relax. It's so hard when it's something you want so badly. And to top it off no one really wants to listen to me talk about it every month. Help! How do I get through this emotionally attached!

Just try to put it all in perspective. This is a very, very little thing in the grand scheme of things. Take care of your health. Pick up a healthy hobby, like jogging, or yoga. I have the tendency to obsess, too; so I seek out like-minded people to talk about TTC things with and keep it to myself with the rest of them - nobody else wants to know what my uterus feels like!

You can always message me and obsess. I'm happy to lend an ear. :)

Find a TTC buddy to talk to. I've found my TTC BFF here on CTP. It's so nice to have someone you know you can talk to about whatever - even the gross stuff. ;) And usually they are relieved to also have someone else to talk TTC with!

I know exactly how you feel.. the tww is the worst. If I am not anxious about my wait for ovulation then i am anxious about my wait for BFP or AF. I try to keep my mind busy. I hope things get easier for you or you get your BFP soon. GL!

I like the hobby idea. I am learning to knit and that has helped me so much. Focusing on learning and doing is a great distraction. An awesome website is craftsy.com. They have all sorts of crafting type stuff (even cake decorating)! Just try to enjoy the life you have right now and eventually things will work out one way or another. Good luck on your journey.
