Combination Feelings
A example of combination emotions that I have had is happy and sad. These feelings came to me when I found out I was pregnant. I wanted to have my second child by the time I turned 30. Right before my 30Th birthday I went to the doctor to see if I was pregnant or not and I remember telling my doctor, "tell me if I'm pregnant because if I'm not I'm going to party all month long." The doctor said,"I guess you won't be partying because you're pregnant." At that moment I felt a rush of happiness because I had met my deadline. On the other hand I was sad because that meant I couldn't party and celebrate my birthday as planned.

Well I actually know what you went through. I am going througf a similar situation right now. I don't only feel sad and happy but I have a combination of feelings. I just found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant and well I don't know what to feel. I know part of you felt happy but at the same time knowing that you are having a baby changes everything. Therefore; I know what you felt and the only difference is that you wanted a baby by the age of 30 and well I didn't want any more children.I feel that I am not alone, thanks for sharing I can relate to you.
ReplyDeleteRachelle I can also relate to you-not in the same scenario-but in regards to being happy and sad. I remember when I finally got my bachelor's I was so happy to finally have earned it yet, I was sort of disappointed in myself because it took me so long to get it.
ReplyDeleteI think that you being pregnant was a blessing in disguise for you. You were still able to celebrate just in a different way :) and think of it this way-you had TWO things to celebrate!
Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteI understand that feeling. I can recall my fourth child. My wife and I had discussed the idea of having 2 children. When the third one came we said, "Ok that's it". Things were looking good until 2 years later my wife told me she was pregnant. We were so disappointed that we both cried. Moreover, my wife was so sad that I had to comfort her almost for a month. She final accept her pregnancy became happy about the situation. Today we still laugh about the idea of our 4 children. But as I said, I understand your combined feelings.
Hello Rachelle,
ReplyDeleteWell i a can relate to you as feeling happy and sad at the same time. I havent had a child so my happiness is in a different situation I was on vacation with my family. we went to visit some family members in mexico.I was happy because I spent a few days with the family I havent seen in a while. When it came to leaving I got sad I didnt want to leave and I didnt want to leave them behind. I know they where excited to have us there but knowing that we only visited like once a year is sad. I was happy because i was going home but sad to leave my family behind.
As for you your happiness was having a child which is a blessing and sad for the party life. but as long as you are happy raising your child you should have no problem. but you could still party. sometimes we just need to get away.
