Anyone else feel like they regressed?

rjbear21 · November 2009

Yesterday, I felt good. The m/c happened last Tuesday. Today, it's been two weeks since we found out via u/s that baby didn't make it past 8 weeks. It's like I've taken a huge step backwards over night.

I cried myself to sleep without DH knowing last night. I feel on the verge of tears and I think I'm becoming slightly bitter.

Anyone else?

I'm so sorry hon. I don't think of it as regressing - I have good days, and I have really really bad days. It comes in waves, and sometimes I think I will never snap out of it and then I do for a day or two.

Have you considered grief counceling? DH and I just started going, and it has been really great.

I agree with this. Day before yesterday, I was having a really "up" day -- almost feeling guilty that I was feeling so much better. Then last night I looked at the clock and realized it was right at the same time we left for the ER last week, and I fell completely apart. I think the coming and going is normal. Eventually, the good days will far outnumber the bad. {{hugs}}

Everyday....I cry myself to sleep almost every night.

I definitely agree with the comment that grief is like waves. You go back and forth. Don't expect too much of yourself too quickly.

I'm having a bad day today with lots of crying. I was so eerily calm after my d&c on Wednesday I thought I'd miraculously gotten over this in record time. It was just a phase. I think this is just a phase too.

Well, it's been months for me and I still have those days. Today's one of them. Fortunately, I have a LOT going on to distract me.

So its part of the process. Like a pp said, I was almost feeling guilty too about doing so well with it.

DH came home tonight and stood with his arms out and a goofy grin on his face. He asked me if I was crabby, when I wouldn't come hug him. I said yeah kind of. He says why? I immediately started bawling and clung to him and said I was just not having a good day with it all. ( he knew this because I had sent him a long text earlier in the day telling him so, that he never responded to).

To me it was such a roller coaster of emotions. I was doing well and then had a horrible week about a month after my D&C where I felt like a zombie. But slowly life has returned to normal. I hope you are feeling happier soon. *big hug
