Controlled Triggers

I used to love Rom-Coms. Now I can only watch them alone when I'm ready for a good cry and well enough to not seep into a depressive episode. 

The trigger: It reminds me that I watch from the sidelines while everyone else is living the life I desperately wanted. I'm so tired of crying about my infertility. So I rarely watch anymore to avoid the trigger.

It sucks.

They are meant to uplift and inspire, to make people laugh but for me, they hurt still.
