Hi.
I had a medically managed miscarriage in hospital last week.
I was fine all the way through from scan to procedure. That adrenaline has worn off and I'm all over the place. I get anxious leaving the house, I haven't seen anyone outside my family in weeks, I can't go back to work(teacher), I can't face taking to anyone or even looking at anyone, I'm not eating healthily and drinking too much. I feel like I need to get back to normal but I just can't.
My tips to help me get out of this funk?
Thank you 🌼

I'm very sorry for your loss 💐

I found grief takes time. Do small trips first then go with the flow. There is also no shame in seeking help from the gp. They can organise therapy and/ or give medication to help thoes that need it.

I had a 15 week loss on the day we broke up for the six week holidays. I felt really anxious for a few weeks but after having counselling I'm doing a lot better. I still have lots of bad days of course but nothing compared to how I felt in July and August. I truly didn't understand how I was supposed to cope immediately after it happened.

Be kind to yourself, seek support and give it some time.

I know how you feel. I’m recovering from a recent second tri loss and every day is a struggle. I force myself to do every day things - shower, eat, food shop etc. It’s really hard. The only thing that’s keeping me going is the thought of getting pregnant again so I’m trying to keep my body nourished. I’m also seeking help - i will be getting therapy, attending groups and i also talk a lot to my husband, friends and family. It really does help, even for a couple of hours.

I’m doing all of this, but every day is still incredibly hard. I’ve already cried twice this morning.

We’ll get there. PM me if you just want to chat.
