Anxiety after miscarriage

[UnderneathTheStream]

Anyone else had/have this? I am having huge anxiety attacks about totally irrational/fictitious/really unlikely events?

I?m trying to persuade myself that it?s just hormones and it will calm down soon?. Been lasting for a few days..

So, am I a freak? Or has anyone else experienced this?

Oh I so understand.
I am a nightmare I am only 10 days after a miscarriage and have been told that my hormones are going to mess with my mind for 6 weeks.
I am even a terrible passenger in the car convinced my partner won't brake in time. If
I had my way none of my family would leave the house as I believe because this bad thing has happened they are all going to harmed. Lunatic!
I think we just have to realise our minds are not ours to control just yet and try and keep busy or sleep whatever gets you through the panic and remember it is a symptom of grief and normal. Good luck

Phew = glad I?m not the only nuts one ? meant in a nice way of course!

bump Anyone else had this?

Yes! Please don't think you are a freak, it's perfectly understandable after going through something so distressing. After my MC I thought I was was coping ok considering... but looking back was constantly worried / anxious about family having an accident (would worry if people didn't phone when they said they would etc.) A few months later my husband had to go abroad for work. I couldn't contact him before his flight home (unusual) and had a MASSIVE freak out. Was convinced he had been in a car crash / plane crash / been mugged etc. My lovely mum had to come and stay with me for the night as I was in such a state He was of course fine and just had no signal at the airport!!

I started to go and see a counsellor which helped a huge amount - she helped me see that after the MC (which was pretty traumatic) I tried to act as if everything was fine too quickly, and was just transferring all my anxiety about the MC and being terrified of things which I couldn't control hurting people I cared about.

Once I had a chance to talk about things properly I felt so much better.

Hope that helps (and I haven't made myself sound like a complete nutjob!). Go easy on yourself, you've been through a rough time and it takes time to heal, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time x

yep I had it too, totally paranoid my house was going to burn down so I would lose all my pictures of dd2 that I had just mc at 21 weeks. I became obsessive about checking plugs for a few weeks. I don't think DH ever noticed. I did think I was going mad.

I am another one I'm afraid. I had MC 8 months ago and still get into a panic about all sorts of things, for no reason at all!
I'd like to think that I am usually fairly sane rational person but since MC I have become incredibly anxious about things, especially to do with my DD. I am hoping it will go away eventually.
