Lowest of Low

I'm not sure how much I can get out, but I need to try.

I am feeling close to another breakdown.  It has been a while since I've had one, so I guess I'm due. 

Life itself is going pretty well.  We are living in a dream house in the neighborhood we've wanted to be in for four years; we are financially stable for a while, our bills have been paid; I get to see my out-of-town best friend this weekend for the first time in almost two months.

But I am extremely emotional.  I want to be pregnant.  Now.  But my body is not cooperative, and I don't even know if it's possible for me to conceive.  I have been on an emotional roller coaster for months, and it has built up, and exploded last night.  I am intensely depressed.

The last few days I have been sleeping a lot.  I can't fight it.  I get home with the kids, do my daily duties, and lay down because I am out of energy, and then I pass out.  Today I fell asleep around 4:30 and didn't get up until 8:00 because I needed to go to the store.  I feel awful for Montana.  I haven't been very attentive, and I am cheating her--I know this, but I feel like I am useless to her while in this funk. 

This weekend I'll be with my best friend, and I know I'll feel better when I get home.  Hopefully then I can focus on Christmas, and just be happy.  That's a tall order, but I'll work on it.
