Depression after miscarriage
It's been over two weeks since my miscarriage at 7 weeks, but I still feel very weak and lack the strength to do household chores. I have slight pain in my legs, and mostly, I don't feel like doing anything. I often find myself in a bad and frustrated mood, not wanting to smile or talk to anyone about my feelings. I haven't cried in front of anyone except my partner, and I'm very sensitive right now. Although I've come to terms with the loss since this was my second pregnancy and I have a 3-year-old daughter, but my mental state is not improving. Please help me with what I should do.

Hi,
I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss; experiencing a miscarriage can be profoundly difficult, both physically and emotionally. It's important to allow yourself the time and space to grieve, as healing isn't a linear process. Acknowledge that feeling weak and having emotional fluctuations are normal during such a challenging time. Consider reaching out to a healthcare professional to discuss your physical symptoms and emotional stateâthey can provide guidance and support tailored to your needs. Engaging with a therapist or counselor who specializes in grief may also help you process your feelings more effectively. Don't hesitate to lean on your partner or close friends for emotional support; expressing your feelings can be a crucial step in healing. Additionally, try to focus on small, manageable tasks rather than overwhelming yourself with chores, and allow yourself to rest when you need to. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as physical recovery, so please be kind to yourself during this time.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Miscarriage can profoundly impact a marriage, and it's important to navigate this with care and understanding. Both of you may grieve differently, and that's okay. Try to keep open lines of communication and support each other through this process.
Seeking professional support can be incredibly beneficial. A therapist specializing in grief can provide a safe space for both of you to process your emotions. Remember to give yourselves time to heal and be patient with each other.
