September 11 is always difficult

[havingatoughday]

test as I am a name changer and this is a sensitive subject.

test has worked. want to talk?

Are you ok???. Agree sept 11 is hard.

it just has an aura....

OK it worked, September 11 is always a bad day for everyone and people often ask where you were and what you were doing when the twin towers were attacked. Well I was having a termination at the very time it happened. I was right to do it at the time as the circumstances were hideous but I will always wonder what could have been and I will always feel a bit guilty, particularly as I now have a happy, healthy and much loved and wanted child.
I just find it tough to get through September 11 each year

poor you. I hope you manage to get through the day without feeling too sad. xxx

I partially collapsed () when I saw the news on tv at the time

had a miscarriage a week later and, irrationally I know, blame Sept 11

i dont think there is anyone who isnt affected some way or the other.
havingatoughday, i can see why its hard for you
i was watching the tv live at the time, there was a live news report and the second plane hit while i watched..i never forget that feeling, ds was just 6 months old and i had pnd, so found it hard to handle.
thinking of everyone who lost someone that day.

It is a tough day for most of the world today, I agree and Enid sorry to hear about you losing your baby and you PND Spacey. Thankfully life has improved and please God there will be no more attacks.
Feeling better now, thankyou everyone.

It's weird for me. I was on holiday with my parents in Norfolk. At 9am OUR time I was sat in the back of the car feeling so very very miserable. It was at that moment that I realised it was because I was in love with my boyfriend (now DH) and I didn't think he felt the same way.
Later, when we cam back from our day out and saw it all on the news, the 2nd plane, towers collapsing, those poor people jumping.....I felt so guilty for being miserable when that had happened

havingatoughday-glad you are feeling better.

It must be hard enough to have such an anniversary, without the news telling you of the date every year

I don't have anything else to add really, just to let you (and everyone else who is hurting for their own private reasons) know that I am thinking of you.

havingatoughday - making that decision was hard enough i can imagine from personal experience so would imagine a yearly reminder is tough
i was 3 weeks away from having my first child and sat there crying wondering what sort of a world i was bringing her into

I was at Great Ormond street hospital with DS waiting for his Botox injections. We were watching a kiddy video when a male nurse came in and asked if he could turn over the tv. The first tower had been hit then, but we didn;t know exactly what had happened. When we left the hospital London was mad, people were running about, trains were cancelled, it took us 3 hours to get home (normally 1/2 hour)

day

it is such a sad day. i was taking my ds(5) for his check up at the health visitor that day, they knew nothing about it and as i walked down the high street it was like any other day, people didn't realise what was happening. i was the only one looking through rumbelow's window at the news coverage. my ds(12) was mad at me because he wanted to see his cartoons after school and i wanted to see the news. so sad.

havingatoughday. So sorry. Hope the love and support you get here helps make this day a little easier.
I remeber coming in having taken ds2 to have his third lot of baby jabs. My friend was sitting in our lounge with the news on and trying to tell me what was going on. wesat in horror as we saw the 2nd plane hit.
