I want to cry and scream and blame someone, anyone, something for what I am going through. It has been 5 weeks and I still don't feel like I am dealing with it. I need to cry, I need to let all of my anger out but I can't vocalize anything. All I can do is come here and complain and then tell everyone I am ok. While this works for some it seems to be my way of keeping my "game face" on while away from this board. I need to deal and grieve yet for some reason I am not letting myself. I finally stopped bleeding this weekend... I was so done with that!!!
I keep saying that 2010 is my year but unless I deal and grieve this last loss I don't think a change of the calendar is going to make my life "better". My H is so upset, he hates when I head to bed at night and start crying. It only lasts a minute or two and then he wants to know what is wrong. I just keep saying the same thing over and over, I am just upset about the baby/miscarriage. It is always the same story just another day.
I am sleeping much more and working much more as well, I feel depression setting in and this is how I keep pushing it away. My H told me last night that he misses me and feels like I haven't been around the last week or so. Poor guy, I have been there I just haven't "been there".
Re: I am just here to vent or something...
I am so sorry you are going through this- and I wish I had something to make you feel better. But unfortunately I think we all feel like this from time to time, and it is totally normal. Lean on your hubby- it sounds like he is a great guy. I get like this too- I tell everyone that I am fine but inside I am screaming, it is so awful.
I hope 2010 is your year, and you are able to enjoy the holidays! Take care,
I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. {{hugs}}
Have you thought about counseling? Journaling? The grief counselor I talked to suggested journaling as a way to let the grief out in a constructive way.
I actually am thinking about counseling but I don't know who to go to. I feel like I should be able to just move on at this point. I am thinking about calling my OBGYN to see if they have a suggestion.
I actually started out with the chaplain at the hospital where I had my D&E. She was recommended by my OB's office. It was nice to have someone to talk to while waiting for our regularly scheduled therapist appointment.
I know how hard it is to find someone. When I was suffering from depression a few years ago I was so down I didn't have the energy to research who to call. DH did it for me. I ended up not sticking with the person he set me up with, but it got me started and to the point where I could shop around some more for someone I really clicked with.
Would your DH be willing to help get the ball rolling?
He is more than willing, which is really nice. I guess I just need to give him the "ok" to do so. I am totally not the type of person to ask for or admit to needing help so it is very hard to give him the "ok".
Thank you girls!!
