Mostly okay! I've been through a decade of infertility in the past and both of my (historically) happily childfree siblings announced they want kids now. I've experienced every emotion I can name about that but I've also had some good chats with other loved ones about it!
Seems a bit trivial compared to what some other people are going through but it took me by surprise.
If you don't mind me asking, how are you and all your other siblings infertil?
Oh no just me!! π My siblings just didn't want kids for over a decade and suddenly changed their minds π€ͺ It does leave me with mixed feelings as the person replying said, they're a little hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through it
Oh, ok, my bad. Well, I hope you and your family get along.
No, not really. Feeling left behind. Iβd say I was celebrating alone, but I donβt have anything to celebrate. So Iβm just getting high to pass the time.
Nope lol. Struggled with depression years ago, and it came back a few months ago. I'm not suicidal, but it's just hard to beat this shit back into submission.

Also doesn't help that I'm sick atm and can't see my family over Christmas because of that. Can't even eat a proper Christmas dinner, 'cause I'd puke it all up. At least my partner is with me, so that makes it a little more bearable.
I think so, yes. Really have always felt precarious but I honestly think that's just acknowledging reality, we are in a precarious situation. Surfing, not walking on land. But I am at ease with it, if that makes sense. I am very happy to be physically embodied and alive, and at this moment also quite healthy, I know we don't get to be alive forever so want to enjoy this.
