Feeling like I am sinking...

In just 2 weeks, I will hit the one year anniversary of Sophia passing away and it will coincide with 4 years of TTC. Ladies, I have no idea how to deal with this. I had a fantastic time last weekend with some of my closest Nesties in AC, but now that it is all done, I feel like all that is left is a black cloud.

I know I am depressed and trying to decide if I should call my Doctor, but I don't know who to call. My OB put me on Zoloft after delivering, which I stopped after a few months and started to feel ok. My PCP hasn't seen me in years, and in fact, has retired from the practice.

*sigh*  Just feeling lost and sad, so incredibly sad.

Re: Feeling like I am sinking...

  • Sweetie, I'm so sorry that you are going through this right now.  I know that words cannot comfort you but I just wanted to give you ((hugs)).  Maybe you should go the PCP and see if he can put you on Zoloft. 

    Again, I'm so sorry.

  • I'm so sorry.  I can't imagine how you must feel.

    You should find a new PCP and talk to them about how you are feeling.  Or, maybe your OB can write that prescription for you again.  There is nothing wrong with an antidepressant.  I am currently taking Paxil.

    Big hugs to you!

    Maybe call your OB on Monday and see -

    Or is there a grief counselor you can talk to?  Until then- does journaling help you?  I know it helps me to write things out.  I wish I could come over and give you a hug in person  YGPM... in a minute

  • Thanks, Ladies. I went looking for my Zoloft and I apparently I don't have any more. I will put a call into my OB and see what I need to do. I am hoping to get back on them right away so when April 3rd gets here, I will have a good amount in my system. DH's birthday is the same day we lost Sophia, so I think everything has just compounded and it is just too much. I know it will be ok, I just need to get past this first year.

    Do you have a therapist you like?  I would start there.  They can help with finding the right meds.

  • (((((hugs))))) Honey, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what I can possibly say to make you feel better. I didn't go through anything close to what you did and I barely recovered that. You are one strong woman...it sucks but you so are!

    If you want some advice.....I  would find a new PCP ...... I am on prozac now and it was the best thing to get me over that "hump" I needed to start healing if you KWIM. I understand the meds are not for everyone so I'm not pushing but they have helped me so much. I was always so agst. meds but I am so glad I'm taking them.

    I think of you often...if you ever need to talk or email....I'll give you my info. I'm so sad that you have to go through this...know that I'm there if you need another ear...ok?

  • I know that nothing I say can make you feel better, and I wish so much that were not the case, but I'm going to try anyway. You are an amazing person who has suffered a devastating loss. If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate for a second about calling for medicine and someone to talk to. This coming anniversary is going to be hard but you have so many people around you who will be there to hold you, cry with you, and love you, and I'm one of those people. I'm sure talking on the phone will be the LAST thing you want to do as April 3 approaches, but you can call me for anything. If you want to simply cry, scream, sob, whatever, I'm here. X o xo

  • (I'm on my phone so sorry for the lack of paragraphs). I am so, so sorry for everything hun. I think that what you are feeling after losing Sophia is nothing abnormal. When you add in still struggling in the IF hellhole, it makes it that much harder to deal with. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now. All I know is I am always here for you. Day or night, you know how to get a hold of me. I know that it isn't the same (sort of) but with my meltdown two months ago, I went on zoloft too. I thought after a month that I was feeling a little better so I stopped but all that anxiety and gloom came back full force. I'm back on it and it's helping to regulate everything. If I were in your shoes, I might re-evaluate going back on for the time being, even if you have to find another doctor. (((((hugs)))))) to you sweetie.
