depression after miscarriage?

Ugh, this is harder to move on than I thought it would be I have a positive attitude, and I know we will get pregnant again. I feel like my miscarriage was most likely genetic (and I'm grateful that I miscarried if that were the case, my sister carried a Trisomy 13 baby to term and had no idea, it was completely devastating). But for some reason I can't seem to snap out of it. All I want to do is sleep, and I have a 17 month old to take care of It's not even that I WANT to sleep, I am just so tired all.the.time. and that is my red flag that my depression is starting. I just don't know what to do to snap myself out of it.

Thanks for listening.

Re: depression after miscarriage?

I am having a tough time too. I didnt leave my house for 2 weeks and refused to speak to anyone.

I'd definitely recommend seeing a counselor. It doesnt have to be permanent, just someone to get you through these hard months. I started seeing someone 2 weeks ago, and I'm glad I have that extra support. I dont plan on seeing her for very long but I'm dreading the holidays, so at least to get me through this.

So sorry your going through this
For at least 2-3 weeks I also did not speak to anyone or go out & wld all the sudden cry thinking "what wld it be like if I was still pregnant" I tortured myself for those weeks and I have to say, it got a lil easier each day that passed. My mc was caused by extra chromosome 13. Im glad I had tissue tested, it was closure for me.
Time. Time made all the difference for me. I got outta my funk after I stared jogging again and getting exercise I felt good inside and now (almost 8wks later) I "good" Im just waiting for AF to start up again.
Hope you get out of your funk too real soon...

Re: depression after miscarriage?

I totally agree with Cate. After I lost my DS I strted seeing a counselor as well, every 2 weeks. It's helped me more than I can tell you. I've made progress on my own as well but I strongly believe I wouldn't have made it this far without those sessions.
