The diaper aisle of the grocery store turns you

offers pain so unbearable you consider stealing
their infant and heading for the border.
If you're feeling confused by what I mean, I've made some illustrations of the most common infertility emotions:
Hysteria:
Happiness/Optimism:
Sadness/Pain (for me, the most commonly felt):
Fed Up:
Exhausted:
Absolutely Pissed:
I said it was inexplainable, but I never said it
was non-illustratable!
