Post-miscarriage anxiety and depression
I was just wondering if any of you experience depression and/or anxiety after a miscarriage. I have had mild anxiety since DS was born 2 years ago but I was never anythig really concerning. I M/C in March and about 2 months later started having extreme anxiety followed by depression. My dr feels it has a lot to do with my hormones after the MC but i was wondering if any of you have experience with anxiety and depression after MC but not after giving birth.

Re: Post-miscarriage anxiety and depression
So sorry for your loss.
HMMMM now I wonder if I did. A few years back I had a miscarriage then two weeks later my best friend passed away in a car accident. I remember having panick attacks and couldn't catch my breath at all. Anxiety and depression for a few weeks but always chopped it up to my feelings about my friend passing away (which probably didn't help). I have always been able to handle stressfull/sad situations without panick attacks except for that time. I wouldn't doubt that it has a lot to do with a hormonal inbalance. I had anxiety/depression from the very same reason earlier this year. I would suggest not taking any birth control until you can figure out if thats why it is or not. Talk to your dr. about wayt to balance your hormones. Best of luck.....although its very scary it does pass and if it interferes with you life too much theres medication out there that may help you.
T&P for you
