Post miscarriage depression
Does this exist and happen to ladies who had a miscarriage?
I’ve been struggling with my mental health after a few traumatic weeks. Although I was not very far along, I was also really ill at the same time so my body and emotions were so battered.
At what point do I seek help from the gp?
I’ve been experiencing low moods, flight mode in life (trying to sell my business, change career, move to a different country, sell the house), and I burst into tears at unexpected moments. I’ve been having disagreements with my husband and my mind just spiral downward very quickly.
Last week I had a bad episode and I drove myself in the middle of the night to the A&E to seek help. The nurse gave me a bereavement midwife’s contact so I did. She then sent me a list of charities that I could contact.
I’m just not sure if all these symptoms are valid or mean anything. 😞

Definitely reach out for support to either the GP or the various charities you have been told about. You seem very aware of your mental health which is an excellent thing but sounds like it’s definitely time to seek further help. Miscarriages suck, I hope you manage to speak to someone asap x
Oh this definitely all means something. Please don’t feel you have to dismiss it because it doesn’t make sense. Nothing about this whole experience does. I’d definitely recommend going to see the gp/speaking to the charities. It’s such a heavy burden to carry alone and perfectly normal to need help through it all ❤️🩹 sending strength. X

It’s been 10 months since my loss and I still have these outburst too . We are grieving. But to tell someone about it instead of keeping it inside will be good for you . I’m sending love and peace to you . You aren’t alone .
