In reply to: Tracey 's message, "Re: Miserable..." on 10/22/07 7:42am

Everyone keeps telling me I need to talk to someone... But I have no words.... I'm just in so much pain, mentally. And it's nothing specific... And I just can't stand it...
Another part to all of this is that I'm still in denial, I guess, about all this. I still don't believe I'm pregnant. Like I know I am, but it just feels unreal.
And maybe I just feel guilty because I'm wondering if I made the mistake....

Kate~
I want to stress to you the importance of talking this through...right now you have a thousand and one thoughts running through just your mind only. You almost feel hostage to these feelings and that if you say what you're feeling out loud then you will most likely regret saying them or feel bad about what you are feeling. But you are feeling them and if you force yourself to just deal, your stress level and depression level will only rise. I do want to stress that pregnancy can cause your hormones to be so out of wack--trust me, I've had 4 children and KNOW my hormones were all over the place--it felt like PMS X10!!! I'm not gonna push you to do anything you don't want, but please know that it won't hurt to at least look into contacting a center. I can even call for you ahead of time and explain your situation if that made you more comfortable. Now, I'm done with that--I won't keep pushing! :) It is good you have found a place to come and talk....we don't judge you here, Kate. And you can express anything you are feeling even if it feels wrong or makes you feel bad. You are not a bad person, Kate! You are just in a really crazy situation right now, trying to do the right thing and be responsible. Right now you feel like your world is crashing, but I promise you there are resources to help you. You just need to look into them.
Have you talked at all anymore to this guy? If so, has he given you any inclination how he feels. I mean, I understand, the obvious thing is that he's not happy...but will he talk to you or has he cut you off completely?
Kate, I promise to help and be there if you need to talk anytime. You are not alone! Please continue to come back and let me know how you are doing/what you need. I will be praying for you and this little one.
God bless,
Tracey

I guess I should talk to someone. Well I know I should... I just have such a hard time. It's harder to hear myself say these things than it is to write it.. That and it is asking for help which I don't like doing... Do you think I could still go to Family Planning to talk to someone? Or should I try to find another place?
I haven't even tried to talk to the father for months. The last time I did I called him and left a message telling him I decided to keep it. I wish I could talk to him... I do feel sorry for him, in the fact that I had to make a decision that affected his life too.. But he truly hates me for my decision..
Thinking about him just makes me feel even worse...

Kate~
Honey, don't you feel too sorry for him...remember he's making the decision to avoid you and be angry about this whole situation. Yes, it's affecting his life, but remember this is affecting your life as well. You are carrying the load...not him. Anyhow, I don't know if Family Planning is the best choice for your situation...if you give me your state and closest city(or you can e-mail me with it) and I can send you a list of local centers in your area. They can help in giving you all sorts of resources from free counseling to help with baby items to all sorts of other help. You are not alone, Kate.

Are you living at home or somewhere else? Does your family support you in any of this? Please keep me posted and I will do my best to help! Have a great day!
Love,
Tracey

Yes I did receive your email, thank you Tracey. :) I haven't called anywhere yet. I am scared I suppose. I did talk to a few people who made me feel better. I guess I'm just realizing that all this is real and it's overwhelming.. I will though give one of those places a call. :)

Kate~
So good to hear from you and I'm so glad you have talked to a few positive people. I think once your news is out, you will be able to handle this better. The stress of keeping this all to yourself is no good for you. And like I said, if you are anxious about calling the pregnancy center, please let me know--I honestly don't mind calling them ahead of time for you and explaining some of your situation. Sometimes it's the initial move that is the hardest. Once that part's over, it's such a relief. Believe me, I truly think this will help you as you move forward. Besides receiving support and advice, many places offer help with baby items and more. You'll have your highs and lows throughout this pregnancy, but please remember we are always here to help offer advice and support! You are not alone! Have a wonderful night and keep me posted! :)
God bless,
Tracey
