" Alternate Title: Anyone Think I Need Therapy? Because I maybe need to talk to somoene about my irritation upon finding out that the Duggars, those baby-making superstars, are expecting their 18th child on January 1, 2009.  I mean, I am sure they are very nice people. Obviously I don&amp;#039;t know them, and if I did know them, I would totally have to avoid them because HOLY FREAKING FERTILE! But if this baby is due on 1/1, what is she? Like three weeks pregnant? She announced it on Friday on the TODAY show, and in the interview she says that they knew since Monday. And it was really hard to keep it a secret because her girls watch the calendar like hawks. You know, in anticipation of another baby. Enter: irritation. Really, I don&amp;#039;t know if I even want to write about how unfair it is that some people can repeatedly get pregnant easily, even those people who do not want to be pregnant. I don&amp;#039;t want to open the can of worms about how the Duggars decided to pray to God, and to accept as many children as he allowed, when there are thousands of women praying for JUST ONE, and still not being able to conceive. I don&amp;#039;t know if I want to start the discussion about the Pope confirming the stance that assisted reproduction is wrong. Or how many people who follow the Catholic Church are feeling ashamed and alone because of this opinion. The bottom line is that I am so thrown off by this particular injustice, that it is all I want to talk about. And nobody wants to hear me talk about how unfair my life is because come on! Get over it already! I&amp;#039;ve considered going to see a therapist. My reproductive endocrinologist works with a psychiatrist who specializes in infertility. But really, I can&amp;#039;t see it helping. What am I going to say to a therapist that I don&amp;#039;t already say to my blog,and thus, the world wide web? Here&amp;#039;s how I picture this going: Shrink: So, what seems to be the issue? Me: I can&amp;#039;t have a baby. Shrink: Hmm...I see. How does that make you feel? Me: Pissed off. Shrink: Right. Well, time&amp;#039;s up! We&amp;#039;ve made some real progress here. Me: Um... Shrink: See you next week. How about you? Have you sought therapy to deal with infertility? Do you find that it helps? If you don&amp;#039;t want to post a comment publicly, feel free to email me. (Although a comment would help everyone who is reading!) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
