I’m lost

Hello everyone! I’m new here. Honestly I’m feeling down every day since I lost my pregnancy (three months ago). I had a hard time while I was pregnant, my ex partner didn’t want our baby and I was crying every day. In the 3rd pregnancy exam, doctors told me my baby couldn’t live because she had a genetic problem. It was the worst day in my life. I wanted to die. My ex partner told me good luck and goodbye. I had to decide to abort a few days later. I won’t forget the pain that I had in the abortion. I’ll never forget how my ex partner was while I was feeling depressed. I feel so unlucky and now it is around three months that I lost my baby and I can’t overcome it. I’ve sent a lot of messages to my ex partner but he never responded and my family is not exactly a caring family. Nobody know how I feel and how I live everyday. I’ve tried to find a job but it’s hard and I don’t feel any emotion to do something. Honestly, I don’t see how to continue. I’ve gone to doctor and they gave me medication but it’s not working either. I’m at home every day sleeping and eating and sleeping again. I’m 27 y.o and I’m desesperated. If somebody has been in a similar situation I’d like to know how to overcome it. Thanks for reading.

I had an abortion many years ago. I do know kind of how you feel. As far as this ex of yours let him go. After 2 bad marriages 18 and 17 years with them I am free of their abuse and happy. D o not allow them to destroy you. Look for the bright light at the end of the tunnel. We live and learn.It is all part of learning. Never stop living for you. Be strong.

Thanks for supporting me. I really feel more motivated with it. I know I need to overcome it. Sometimes people say to me, no worries everything is ok, you’re going to overcome it, it’s common. But nobody knows how I feel if they haven’t had this experience. Thanks

Welcome to this site Luz

It is important as explained above you are able to talk out your loss and the indifference shown by your ex-Partner. It will take time for you to move on so you need to be just kind to yourself, also try not to judge yourself as it looks like your baby had a genetic problem and given that this loss may have been a blessing for you and child.

Live for the future, your expectations will eventually be realized and you will eventually move on to a more pleasant future

Keep a hold
