Depression over your infertility can be devastating but overcoming infertility depression is not only possible, it is necessary for your success in becoming pregnant. It's only natural that you are upset and depressed because you have to deal with infertility. Everywhere you look there are happy couples with babies and every day you read stories about parents that don't want their children. And there you stand... wanting to have a child of your own so badly yet unable to because of infertility issues.
Overcoming infertility depression can be difficult and frustrating. Not too many people understand and even the ones that say they do have often never had to do through what you are dealing with in your life right now. Well-meaning friends and family will tell you not to worry and that you're worrying about having a child of your own is causing your infertility. People might tell you that you can always adopt. This might not help you to overcome infertility depression and it might even cause you to go further inside your shell and be more reluctant to share what you're going through with others. What can you do yourself to overcome infertility depression?
You might feel horrible about yourself. You don't have to tell anyone else. I know what it's like. You fear that you will never have a child of your own and you secretly believe that it's because you are a bad person. Maybe God or nature has set itself against you because the truth is that you fear that you are not fit to be a parent. Even though all around you are people that don't value their children or never wanted their children, there is something wrong with you and you fear that you will never be blessed with a baby. You try to figure it out on your own. Maybe you did something in your past and you feel that you're being punished for it or you feel that this is the one thing in your life that you really want so it will be denied from you because of your desire. You think that there is truly something wrong with you and that you are the ultimate cause of your infertility.
Getting down on yourself or beating yourself up isn't helping you. You're in a very dark place and there is no real truth to these thoughts or emotions. You are no different than anyone else that has gone through a trying time while trying to get pregnant. I know it's difficult to pick your head up after you've beat yourself down but you must if you ever hope to find any future happiness. There is hope and there are dreams still in your heart. Live those dreams and take the risk of spending some time each day with a smile on your face and joy in your heart as you think about how it's going to feel to hold your baby for the first time. Know in your heart that this is your future. Keep the big picture in your mind and see things down the road when you wake up in the middle of the night because your baby is calling to you. Delight in these dreams and dare to push back the darkness so you can start living again.
There are times when no amount of talking or thinking things through is going to help you to overcome infertility depression. You might find that you want to isolate yourself and avoid people in general. You might even have days when you can't handle going out in public because if you see one more pregnant woman you're simply going to break down in tears. This can often lead to a downward spiral that is difficult to pull yourself out of.
Another trick that can help you not only beat back the blues but to help yourself all around is to do some exercising. A quick walk around the block or a jog at the local high school track might be enought to help you to feel better. Exercising will get you out of the house and also help your body to battle the depression that is plaguing you. Exercise is also good for your body and helps you to overcome infertility also. Helpful natural chemicals are released into your body to improve your mood and your body will become a healthier place for your child when that day does come.
Doing something starting today to help eliviate your depression is a smart move. Putting it off until tomorrow might be tempting but there is a pretty good chance that you'll put it off tomorrow also if you do so. Start right now to make the changes in your life that will help you to battle this depression and put you on the road to overcoming infertility and ending that depression once and for all. After all, you can't be depressed about infertility while you're holding a newborn baby, right?
