Depression two years after TFMR?

[MonkeySounds]

Hello - I just wondered if anyone had experience of this. I had to have a TFMR in November 23 following a missed miscarriage. I have a long term therapist, had NHS therapy and lots of support. But two years later I find myself blindsided by depression, feeling like my life has just wound down into the ground - it's very physical, with chest pains and exhaustion. I am suddenly questioning my whole life. Is it possible to get a huge hit of depression so long after a TFMR? We never managed to have another child.

Ps the missed miscarriage was in May 23 and the termination was in November 23.

I am so sorry for your losses. I had a TFMR a couple of years ago too. I am surprised at how raw it still is, and how deeply affected I am (like you, no rainbow baby).

in my case, given my age, I’m just starting HRT as I’m not sure whether the deep physical anxiety, total disinterest with work, along with tearfulness etc is perimenopause or trauma or both!

If the HRT doesn’t help, I think I will look to have some more talking therapy to try and address the demons.

I don’t have the answers but wanted to reassure you I don’t think it’s unusual to be affected years later
