Tears and Anger
Yesterday I went for what I prayed to be my last blood draw. If it wasn't I wasn't sure what I was going to do. It just really angers me. Actually everything seems to anger me. I have a great feeling this is what postpartum depression is. I cry and am angry most of the time. Sometimes I have really good moments but then all of a sudden I am angry and crying. So yes I prayed that this was my last draw.
But being that I went in around 11 am I knew I wouldn't hear anything until today. So when the nurse called she said my levels were at 7, I felt a disappointment even though she said I didn't need to go back for any more blood draws. She explained that I could expect my period in 3-4 weeks and that it could be heavier with more cramping then normal and last longer. Not very excited for this. Yes I know that it will be a good thing but right now I don't see that. Looking back I will just not right now.
Even though I don't have to go back in and was ok with that, I still must have been building the anger because when I sat down to eat my lunch, the anger and tears just hit and went off and exploded. I just felt so angry.
I am angry my counselor for telling me that it is best to wait to try so both of us are ready because otherwise the child be looked upon as burden. I took NFP classes because Dusty wasn't ready and I felt that this would help us. Yes the class was great but I just really was ready for another baby. But when I went in for a followup meeting and told the teacher we had tried, she was shocked and stated to me the reason we had wanted to take the class. I felt hurt and that maybe it was a wrong decision. Even though the congrats finally came it just stung. I know why we took the class originally but I know to that we can change our minds. I mean I was ready to try back early of last year and really ready in July. So yes when I began to bleed that Sunday November 25th, I knew what I had so long desired was taken from me. Not to hurt me. Not to punish me. But as a human that is what I feel is deep anguish, hurt, and pain from this all. And as a human I can't help but feel angry towards those that guided me to wait. I know they meant no harm or wrong but it is just what I feel right now. I wanted so bad for my levels to be at zero. I can't move forward until they are zero. I can't plan what my next step will be. I just feel so stuck and lost in my anger and tears.
I know that the anger and tears come from the hurt. I know that I will move on. I know that my levels will be zero. I know I will get through this. But right now this is what I feel.
