How can I get through this? Depression

Hi all

I sadly lost my baby at 27 weeks 4 weeks ago
And I'm struggling so much with day to day life

I cant sleep, eating just makes me feel sick, I dont want to talk to anyway, I'm irritated with everything.
I've come off social media/stopped watching tv as I cant cope with seeing pregnancy/babies

I have other children who I do get up/care for etc so in no way they are being uncared for, I'm also lucky as because of what has happened the school has kindly allowed them back 3 days a week to help take pressure off me.

Sorry for the rambling , I just dont know how i am going to recover from this, its has really tramuatised me, I've started anti depressants, applied for help from healthly minds but I feel like I'm in such a dark place and pulling myself out of it seems impossible

I really dont know what I'm asking from this post just letting my thoughts out

Thank you for reading if you got this far ❤ x

I am so sorry for your loss. It takes time for antidepressants to work but if you are still struggling please speak to the GP again.
There are some links here, the Tommy’s one has a midwife line to speak to midwifes trained in bereavement support, there are shared stories and a link to online communities for support from parents who have suffered loss so understand what you are going through. Flowers
