Let’s talk about toxic positivity. ⁠ ⁠ Fertility journeys are so often painted in the same public light as joyful, exciting, optimistic, effortless – and yes, the journey can absolutely be any and all of those things. But what people don’t often talk about is the pain, hurt, confusion, and loss that can come even a moment later. That doesn’t fit the public narrative. ⁠ ⁠ So when people on social media just say, “stay positive!” or “enjoy the journey!” it can make you feel alone, like you’re the only person in the world not having the magical experience you’ve been looking forward to all your life. ⁠ ⁠ That’s toxic positivity – blasting the good without acknowledging everything else that can come with it. Real positivity is acknowledging that both good and bad exist with honesty, authenticity, and compassion. It’s not about just having the good, it’s about knowing how to choose the good over sinking into what’s hard.⁠ ⁠ #infertility #ttc #organicconceptions #toxicpositivity
