Bit of backround, mum to 2 beautiful dds, 2.11 and 4 months. When my 2nd dd was 2 moths I fell pregnant unexpectedly but sadly lost pregnancy the day after I found out. To be honest I was panicking at the thought of another child but since I lost the baby I feel like a completely different person.
I have no motivation at all, dont look forward to anything anymore-these days its an accomplishment If I even get dressed. I know I love my partner and friends but at the same time feel distant from them.
The biggest thing though is I feel anxious all the time, I cant stop thinking about dying, about the kids dying and it just feels like whats the point of life if everyone is gonna die. Im not suicidal or anything-I know I must sound strange but I just cant stop these thoughts.
My partner keeps asking me if Im depressed, he says Im not the same person anymore and is generally being loving and supportive. I have never suffered with depression so dont know, but part of me thinks it may be PND, any thoughts/experiences? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you're depressed but you've had something very sad happen to you and I expect you're still in shock and grieving. Add to this the possibility that your hormones are likely to be all over the place.

Give yourself time to get through this. It might be a good idea to talk to your doctor and if you need to, to get some counselling to help with your fears and feelings.
