When will this end?

[Kitcat12]

It's 2 months since I miscarried. I returned to work after Christmas and tried to crack on with life. I've since lost my little cat who was a rock to me throughout my adult life. I've ended up having melt downs at work because I'm so overwhelmed with everything. I've been signed off for a month (2 weeks through that now) but sitting at home just doesn't seem to be helping. I'm still so sad. I cry every day. I feel exhausted all the time and getting horrendous headaches. When will I be normal again? I don't feel like myself at all any more 😞

Hello,

Sorry to hear you’re struggling right now.

All I can say is you are not alone.

I’ve felt exactly the same as this whilst going through different stages of treatment. It’s hard when you’re in the thick of it or just getting over dealing with an unsuccessful pregnancy. People can’t under estimate how tough this process is.

Be strong. I’m sure it’ll all come right eventually xxx

Just wanted to send you a big, big hug xxx

Oh KitKat, I'm so sorry to read this. I can't imagine your pain. Sending big hugs. xx

I feel like this too ❤️ Xx

It’s so difficult to totally carry on like you were before. I still feel partly numb from what we’ve been through.

Do your clinic offer you counselling or even if there is something at work which you can be referred to?

Your body might be still trying to recover as well, so there may be some hormone imbalances that the GP could test for?

How about going for reflexology or acupuncture just to have some time for you in a different relaxing environment.

I wish I had a magic wand for us all x

I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling like this. It's completely understandable given what you have been through. Perhaps some counselling may help you xx

So sorry to hear of your difficult time. How you’re feeling actually sounds normal given the two losses you have suffered so close together 😔 Give yourself time to grieve. Things WILL get better. If you can talk to a counsellor I imagine that could help rather than being alone with your thoughts going round in your head. And maybe a massage or something to relieve tension (could be causing the headaches)? Sending a big hug your way xx 🌷

Thank you all for your responses. I have been seeing a counsellor through my clinic, which is helping. The Dr recommended low dose antidepressants which I'm thinking about but still not sure I want to take (might not be safe for next treatment). I have a friend who is a reflexologist so I will certainly try to use her services and maybe book in for a massage as well. I feel so tense!!

I had private counselling after a miscarriage. It really helped xx

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. I think it is understandable though after what you have been through. I can totally relate and have felt similar. You are not alone. You will feel better but it may just take time. It sounds like you are doing the right things. I found counselling helpful after our miscarriage. Sending you strength and lots of positive vibes xxxx
