How do you deal with difficult times?
Natalie...
Recently, that is the last two weeks, have been the most difficult time I have ever experienced in my life. While it is inevitable that others have had deeper and more serious difficulties in their lives, it still remains that facing mine were the hardest in my experience so far.
I am pregnant (4 months now) and since the last call I received from my OB, I had to make decisions as to my pregnancy, tests that I needed to take - or not. Possible problems I might face and risks I will be subjecting my pregnancy to. I have found myself crying often and the unknown is the hardest thing to have to live through. I am waiting for results that will determine the health state of my baby.
However, through it all, I discovered something amazing; I discovered how blessed I was to be surrounded by wonderful and caring friends who became a great support and comfort. Then again, I could never have known if I didn't open up to them and share my concerns, fears and anxieties. That's how I deal with difficult times, I share with those I feel comfortable sharing with, and none of them have failed to reassure me and offer any kind of help should I need it.

I also feel a great release in writing on my blog, and I've done quite a lot of pouring my heart out in the last few posts. In the past I used to write in my journal, I admit there is a more personal aspect to a journal that cannot be conveyed through blog posts, but I still sensed a great comfort in writing publically.
are there any special ways you release your feelings? Singing, writing, exercise, sharing....
