But there&#8217;s a catch:\u00a0we&#8217;re built for <strong>short-term<\/strong> stress. When stress lasts\u00a0long-term and keeps piling on, we\u00a0just\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have time to bounce\u00a0back,\u00a0and we may\u00a0lose our sense of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why&nbsp;the&nbsp;fertility journey&nbsp;can be&nbsp;so emotionally exhausting. It&#8217;s filled with unpredictable personal stress over a long time.&nbsp;All the while,&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;still dealing with relationships, work,&nbsp;news events, and life in general.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of emotional exhaustion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long-term stress triggers\u00a0constant\u00a0adrenaline (your fight or flight hormone), so\u00a0your body is always on alert. At the same time,\u00a0it\u00a0uses up\u00a0serotonin (your mood-stabilizing hormone), so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0harder to cope.\u00a0This leaves you emotionally exhausted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Signs of emotional exhaustion can include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smiling less often&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sleep&nbsp;problems&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulty socializing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Startling&nbsp;easily&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Feeling&nbsp;irritable&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Feeling anxious&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crying more easily&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It only takes&nbsp;<strong>one&nbsp;<\/strong>of these signs to know&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;emotionally exhausted!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dwelling on the past, worrying about the future&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When\u00a0we&#8217;re\u00a0stressed, we naturally dwell on the past and worry about the future. When faced with fertility issues,\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0common to wonder\u00a0if we did something wrong, and what we can do to fix it.\u00a0But you\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0control the past or future, and that worry keeps you from being present in the current moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that,\u00a0not everyone feels\u00a0comfortable talking about their journey, and it&#8217;s\u00a0easy to feel isolated and alone.\u00a0If\u00a0you&#8217;re\u00a0trying\u00a0to be\u00a0strong\u00a0to support your partner, or are culturally conditioned\u00a0not to show emotion, you\u00a0may have an even tougher time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategies to beat&nbsp;emotional exhaustion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.\u00a0Underwhelm yourself\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, there&nbsp;aren\u2019t&nbsp;enough hours in the day&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;overbooked, sleep-deprived, and stressed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0so important to underwhelm yourself. Practice saying \u201cno\u201d before you reach your breaking point.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0absolutely\u00a0no need to feel guilty\u00a0or like\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0making excuses.\u00a0You&#8217;re\u00a0simply taking\u00a0care of yourself the way you take care of other people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Retrain your mind not to worry\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are wired to worry.&nbsp;It takes practice to retrain your mind to let go of the worry. A few ideas that can help:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use a mantra<\/strong>&nbsp;like \u201cit will be what it will be\u201d to let go of what you cannot control.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add pleasure\u00a0into\u00a0your life.<\/strong>\u00a0You\u00a0can&#8217;t\u00a0feel\u00a0two\u00a0opposite\u00a0things at\u00a0the same time.\u00a0Deep breathing and stretching\u00a0bring about feelings of relaxation, not\u00a0tension. Doing something you\u00a0truly enjoy\u00a0brings you into the present moment, away\u00a0from past or future worries.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep a gratitude mindset.\u00a0<\/strong>Focus on what you have and what you&#8217;re grateful for each day. A quick entry in a gratitude\u00a0journal to start or end your day can be\u00a0a\u00a0simple way\u00a0to do this.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\u00a0Seek support\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a support system\u00a0is essential for dealing with stress on your\u00a0fertility journey.\u00a0\u00a0Even one person to share with (aside from your partner, if you have one) can make\u00a0a big difference.\u00a0If you can find someone\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0been through a similar journey, it can be helpful to talk to someone who really understands what\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0going through.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time,\u00a0everyone has their own comfort level\u00a0with\u00a0sharing personal information.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0always\u00a0a good idea\u00a0to be\u00a0thoughtful about\u00a0who\u00a0you talk to. If someone gives\u00a0unwelcome advice or asks questions\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0not comfortable with,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0perfectly\u00a0OK to let\u00a0them\u00a0know you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0want to talk about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Progyny Care Advocate is available to provide personalized support and a listening ear.
