I read something tonight that really clenched my heart. I don't want anyone on the TTC journey to feel alone so I want to make a poll and ask. Have you ever suicidal thoughts due to failures on your journey of TTC?

Question

Suicidal thoughts

Answer

I wouldn't say suicidal, but definitely wondered why I was here if I couldn't have my biggest hearts desire. I think I  beat myself up more than anything. It took us almost 14 years for our son.

Answer

I had suicidal thoughts when we lost our daughter and when we were trying again and it wasn't happening fast enough. My therapist asked all of the right questions and decided for me, it was normal. She said it was clear I didn't actually want to die, I just wanted an escape from my grief and anxiety. She said it was no different than day dreaming about an island vacation...it was a place in my head where I could get away from the hell I was living. It all passed with time.

Answer

If anyone is having suicidal thoughts, they need to talk to help immediately. Suicidal thoughts are a reflection of hopelessness and tunnel vision. Please seek help! There is always a way through the darkness and there is always another solution to a problem!
