2 plus years on my TTC journey

Anyone been TTC for a long long time? How do you keep yourself sane? We’ve been trying for 8+ years and it’s been a long difficult journey. I’ve distanced myself from friends and even family at times. Feel like our lives have been on hold as I won’t plan holidays etc too far in the future but it’s getting to the point where I feel like we should just live our lives. It’s a lonely journey and I’ve really struggled over the years but as with the start of each new year I start feeling hopeful and positive. Just struggle to keep it going!! What are your plans for the year ahead?
