我正在经历IVF,这是一个非常耗费精力和情绪的过程。我的情绪每天都在波动,有时感觉良好,充满希望,有时却感到沮丧和焦虑,难以应对日常生活。IVF的等待期尤其艰难,我尝试通过各种方式来分散注意力,例如旅行、滑雪、与朋友相处等,同时保持一些固定的健康习惯,例如晨间运动、健康饮食等,以维持身心健康。独处时,我的焦虑情绪会加剧,我会通过与朋友和家人联系、寻求专业帮助来缓解压力。此外,我还尝试了针灸、红光疗法等辅助疗法,并通过祈祷、感恩等方式来保持积极的心态。在整个过程中,朋友和家人的支持至关重要,他们的理解和陪伴帮助我度过难关。虽然身边很多人怀孕,这让我感到复杂和痛苦,但我努力保持积极的心态,并为他们感到高兴。我相信我正在经历的痛苦是有其更深层次的意义的,并从中学习和成长。

Shownotes Transcript

**Ep. 177: **I’m back from an amazing trip to Colorado, and in this solo episode, I’m sharing all the details—my first real girls’ trip, incredible food, nostalgic skiing, and the support I didn’t know I needed. Greg even came out to meet me for Valentine’s Day in Aspen, making the trip even more special. But beyond the fun, this time away gave me space to reflect on everything I’m going through with IVF. I’m opening up about the emotional ups and downs, how I’m staying grounded during the waiting period, and the mindfulness tools that are helping me through it.
