Anxiety kicked in after chemical pregnancy

[2018hopeful]

Hi ladies,

Had a really odd day yesterday. Found out I had chemical pregnancy on the 7th, our 2nd miscarriage. Went to gp Tuesday and was told I've got an infection - endometritis- so was started on 2 strong antibiotics. I'm already on antidepressants, long standing anxiety. Had been coping with it all fairly well, but have felt physically unwell and drained and exhausted. Then last night my anxiety kicked back in big time. Feel physically sick, agitated, nervous and worried. So annoyed as I thought I'd been coping quite well. I'm off sick from work, and my manager came to my house yesterday for a sickness meeting as I didn't want to go to the office and see everyone. Could it be that the progesterone is finally out of my system, or the antibiotics making me worse?? I don't want to feel like this! I'd been doing ok till yesterday. Woke up this morning and have that feeling of dread and sickness and panic. 😢😢😢😢

Any chance you can get in with the counsellor at the clinic. A whole host of things going on and maybe talking it over with a counsellor would help. Your body has been through an awful lot physically and the emotional journey is immense aswell x

I think hormones must be playing a part, I have been feeling really peculiar since the MC - don’t write yourself off quite yet and try and take each day as it comes xx

So sorry to hear this. Hormones can reek havoc for ages so that is probably not helping. Equally you’re experiencing grief and that can be unpredictable in how it makes you feel.

Do you have any coping/management strategies that you’re using? If you can talk things through with the counsellor then that might be worth it...

Again, so sorry you’re going through this & thinking of you xxxx

I'm sorry you are feeling like this, it is a really tough journey and your body can react to stress and grief in lots of different ways, like the ladies have advised it could be useful to talk your feelings through with a Counsellor, I have found long walks and meditation help with my anxiety. Sending you lots of virtual hugs xxx
