Ah, Margi, you sure are a compassionate and forgiving person! Yes, we get extremely frustrated, and at least my experience tells me that I've had many times of "taking my frustration out on someone". Just "anyone" who happens to be around me with no clue what kind of pain CH brings me. I admit that I'm not proud of myself afterwards for being such a bitch! I've also had a similar emotional trauma regarding my infertility; it's not anyone's fault but I had a very uncomfortable envy, almost "anger" toward pregnant women out there. Yes, I'm over that, and it wasn't completely an unhealthy thing for me to feel that way. It's more unhealthy to deny and suppress our frustration. The largest role of this board is emotional support to keep us sane in the insane CH situations. I don't mind reading others' venting, and I've done it quite a few times myself too! How could any of us fault other sufferers for being emotional?
