First period since TFMR

[bosslady89]

Hi all ,
what the title says really.
Feel so down and upset today I’m having an awful heavy period since my TFMR in June. I feel alone & angry at the world tbh. I’ve called the hospital today as I think it’s time I spoke to someone about it all I feel like im drowning everyday. Please tell me it gets better because I honestly don’t see a way out.
im also so angry at my ‘family’ for not being there for me. I only have my partner. My mum doesn’t care about what’s happened. She’s asked me twice (only twice because the 2nd time was only because I had a go at her) so basically she’s asked me once in 6weeks if I’m okay.
im not okay. Nobody cares till it happens to them.

It does get better. Your hormones are all over the place and you will be feeling not yourself Be kind to yourself. Do things to take your mind off it, I binged lots of easy to consume confort tv. Definitely go for some counselling. How far along were you?

Hi OP, my heart goes out to you I couldn't not reply. I had a TFMR in early 2022. There are no words to describe what a painful experience it is. You're in the very worst of it right now, I remember first period coming afterwards was awful. Things WILL get better I promise you ❤️ I'm so sorry family haven't been helpful. In my experience people were mainly silent and awkward, they didn't know what to say or how to be around the grief. Feel free to reach out via private message if you ever want to chat more. Also I don't know if you've heard of ARC the charity? Their helpline literally got me through the early days so definitely give them a call xxx

Thank you. 22 weeks. He had complex CHD & right isomerism. Very difficult x
