Post miscarriage mood swings

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hello everyone,

I recently had a natural miscarriage (11 weeks along but only measuring 5). The miscarriage lasted nearly 3 weeks which I was not anticipating AT ALL.  It was an emotional roller coaster. To make matters worse, on my last day of bleeding, I came home after work to find 3 feet of standing water in our basement (due to a crazy rain storm) and our insurance doesn't cover any of it!

It has been a hell of a month and I am losing my mind. I am having the worst possible mood swings ever. All things considered, I feel as though I have stayed strong and dealt with the miscarriage well but I feel so close to cracking. 

I am screaming, crying, saying mean things to people, have no desire to be happy and back to crying. I feel out of my mind. I am laughing one minute and then yelling at my husband 2 seconds later for literally no reason!

Prior to all of this, I was an extremely happy-go-lucky person who had a nearly perfect life.

Will someone please tell me when I will begin to feel sane again?! I feel horrible for everyone that has to deal with me!!

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    Yea hormones are serious..I got into a fight with my mom and I went ALLLLLLLL the way off..I mean this loss we are going thru is hard enough to cope with...we are all just hanging on by a thread emotionally so I think the mood swings are to be expected. ..apologize when you can and keep it moving...you are only human.. .don't beat yourself up about it

    I had a lot of mood swings the weeks of my miscarriage & d&c, like you mine lasted a long time, a total of 5 weeks.
    I also have spent the majority of the past month and a half feeling like I can't think straight. I told DH just last week that I have been out of it all summer, I make stupid mistakes and forget things all the time.

    I think everything you are experiencing is completely normal and expected!

    I had mood swings for about 4 months. But I also suffered from depression as a teenager and it trigged it off. There's no rush to feel normal again. One day you will just wake up and things will be a little but easier. Don't best your self up over it x
