He commented... you look defeated.
I kind of felt defeated.. but I didn't know why.
Later I figured out it was related to what I was looking at. Someone I admire is Al Fox Carraway. And I follow her Instagram account. She had just had a baby boy. And he was adorable.
I especially loved this picture they took. I love the name tag. (Credit: Al Fox)
I hope to be able to do this one day. I shouldn't look at newborn pics, because sometimes they make me sad. Wondering if I will every have that opportunity in this life.
But once I acknowledged that emotion and explained to hubby what I was feeling, I at least validated what I was feeling. And didn't dwell on it. Then I went on to do something to distract myself. That's my best coping technique when I get in a funk. I have to figure out what triggered that emotion, validate it, then try to distract myself with something else. It's what works for me right now.
