Thanksgiving blues

I'm just having a bad day, and this is the best place that I know to come for support and understanding. I've had a bad cold for the past few days and my stomach has been a little upset. I think that it is just one of those little bugs that sometimes go around. I was supposed to go to my aunt's for Thanksgiving with my parents, but I was too sick to go. My mom was kind of angry about it, and she accused me of being pregnant. I don't have any reason to believe I'm pregnant since I use my birth control very carefully and I haven't missed a period or anything. I'm a worrier, though, and now that she mentioned it, I'm scared even though it's very unlikely that I am pregnant. Thanks for letting me vent. Does anyone have any advice for me or words of wisdom?

Thanks for being so sweet to me! I definitely appreciate it. I'm sorry that you are alone today as well. I've spent most of the afternoon reading in bed with my two golden retrievers, which has been very nice. They are excellent company.

I say that my mom accused me of being pregnant because she just didn't sound very happy about the possibility. It would be bad if I got pregnant because I'm only twenty, and I'm still in college. My college is a little private school and it's really conservative, so they would probably kick me out if I got pregnant because I'm not married. I know that my boyfriend would take care of me if I were pregnant, but I'm just not ready to have babies yet.

I hope that you are doing well. Thanks again for your support and kindness!

Thanks for being so kind to me. I really appreciate your advice and support. I think that you are right about my mother. I think that she felt badly after she said it. If I were in her position, I would worry about my daughter getting pregnant, too. I really don't think I am pregnant, so I'm trying not to worry about it.

Thanks again for being so wonderful to me! I hope that you are having a good Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the support! My stomach is indeed feeling better. I talked to one of my friends who is pregnant and she said that morning sickness usually doesn't start until you have actually missed a period. I just can't believe that I'm being so paranoid about this over something that my mother suggested! My mom and I don't talk about what goes on with my boyfriend and I, so I don't blame her for worrying.

Thanks for being so wonderful to me!

Sorry you're having such a bad day, glad you came here to talk though, we're always here for you :o). Don't feel bad about not going to your aunts house, you don't feel well and that's okay (your mom will get over it). Get well soon girl. Your in my thoughts. (((((HUGS HUGS HUGS))))).

Thanks for being so sweet to me! My mom has pretty much gotten over it. I talked to her about it, and she said, "I'm sorry. It's not your fault you are sick. I just wanted you to be there with us." So I'm feeling a lot better now!
