Infertility Anonymous: A Journal

About Me

I created this journal to write down my thoughts and feelings while coping with infertility. I’ve thought of all the ways in which I would like to be supported, and the thing that keeps coming to me is something along the lines of “silent support”, which I guess is just listening. I’m imagining a giant ear sitting on a couch that listens to me when I’m feeling down, overwhelmed or angry. It also has arms to hug me when I need it. For me, it’s blue and fuzzy and it’s definitely not creepy. I figure writing out exactly what’s going on in my brain is easier and more cost effective than paying a therapist by the hour to just sit there and silently agree with me. I don’t know about you, but those therapy sessions almost make me more sad.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is that I want to give anyone facing infertility a safe, anonymous place to speak freely and feel seen—without judgment, pressure, or shame. I hope this page can serve as an escape and resource for others like me. I encourage you to share your thoughts and feelings, whenever you are ready.

Love,

J
