What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

Friday night was terrible!

Friday night we were at a big meeting for church. It was hard for me to focus but I did my best. However, I was very stressed and frustrated when we got out. Already feeling crummy about myself, Chris said something that wasn't meant to upset me but did! I was a hysterical mess for about half an hour. It was pretty bad. I called J (my therapist) and when she returned my call, I was finally able to calm down. I was flailing, sobbing, hyperventilating, and trying to hurt myself and Chris was trying to contain me. I was struggling with self-hatred for "not being able to get over this." J reminded me that I lost a baby! That is not an easy thing to deal with. I felt like I should maybe be a little easier on myself....Saturday went a little better. I did what I could do and also did what I needed to do and that was good enough.
