Can’t move on after miscarriage

I had a miscarriage four weeks ago and got signed off for work yesterday because I’m still just broken emotionally crying at the drop of a hat, moody and basically just not being present at home or work.

Physically I’m knackered after about 4 in the afternoon and all I want to do is sleep but I can’t manage any more than four hours a night.

When will I start feeling better if ever?

Gosh 4 weeks ago is nothing. Your body is still up the wall and your hormones will be everywhere that's on top of what you are going through emotionally. I had 3 miscarriages in a row and its terrible it really is. If you need to get yourself signed off work then you must. It hurts your heart like hell i know.. . But over time you learn to deal and adjust to what you have been through. I have had my rainbow baby in April this year and my heart still hurts and i still struggle to cope sometimes. You need to give yourself some time to absorb what you are still going through. Sending love. Xx

You’ll get there, it takes a physical toll on your body and your mind. You absolutely will start feeling better, but don’t bottle it up-seek help if you need it.

So sorry, I've been there and it is incredibly tough but things do get better. Given yourself time and don't expect too much too soon xx

I'm so very sorry! I had an ectopic pregnancy 4 weeks ago. Only now am I starting to feel better, but only just. I've had miscarriages before and the whole experience takes it out of me. It's a scary, lonely, physically/emotionally exhausting experience. Hormones are also all over the place as well which doesn't help. The old you will come back and there is light at the end of the tunnel. For me looking forwards and trying again gets me through, I appreciate that others may feel differently though!

Be kind to yourself.
You've been through a lot.
If this is what you need, it's what you need. Do whatever you feel you need to over this next week.
Hopefully, you will start to feel a bit stronger, but if you don't, go and have a chat with your GP about how you feel and get some help.
