I hope that you have time to heal and vent out all that you need to emotionally. Good luck in your future journey and good juju for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28893 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:47:55 +0000 winniebee 28893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PennyLainne: Aw, I'm so sorry you are feeling down!! I was kind of depressed for a month or so after my miscarriage, then we didn't get pregnant on month 2 or month 3....and I was getting really sad and desperate. I really thought we would be one of those couples that got pregnant right away after the miscarriage. When we didn't, I felt like a failure and was just so sad. One thing that helped for me was trying to get back to my "old" pre-TTC life - I scheduled really fun stuff, social gatherings, ball games, stuff that I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy when pregnant. It helped me feel more normal and got me back to appreciating the little things. I got pregnant month 4 after our miscarriage and of course that boosted my spirits : ) Just know that you aren't alone and give yourself time to grieve the loss. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28786 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:30:35 +0000 tequiero21 28786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what helped me was to just take a day where i just cried my heart out. and read lots and lots of other people's stories. hope you feel better! hard to hear, but it will get better with time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28652 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:59:20 +0000 PennyLainne 28652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you. I was having a very down day and I just needed to vent. It was 2 months and a day since and it just plain sucked especially because AF decided to come on That day. Of course right. I had a good cry when I got home and made my favorite supper (Spaghetti and meat sauce! Mmm) It definitely helped cheer me up a bit. </p> <p>What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. </p> <p>@artbee: That is a great idea! I think I might try something like that. I might get a little ornament for my flower bed. That would be a great way to get some closure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28298 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:27:32 +0000 junebugmama 28298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know first hand how much this sucks. You may just not be ready to get off the couch and even if somewhere in there you want to, sometimes it doesn't mean you should.</p> <p>After my second miscarriage I really had some severe depression. I reached out to my 2 closest friends, filled them in on what was going on and we had a girls weekend. They cried with me, laughed with me, drank to much with me, and spent to much money pampering ourselves, but it was the best medicine a girl could ask for. Plus it let them know how much pain I was really in and how much support I needed. One became my gym partner and the other (out of state) started calling and texting more. It was a life saver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28287 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:53:11 +0000 Rosie Girl 28287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im sorry you are having such a hard time. Its ok to feel blah though. We all have those times, and you have a very good reason to feel that way! I hope you start to feel better. And hopefully you can get pregnant again soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28270 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:19:25 +0000 Nskillet 28270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw hunnie Im so sorry you're struggling so much. Please know the emotions you're feeling are completely understandable and is a natural part of the grieving process. Miscarriage is so tough on women because it feels like you're failing at something even though it is entirely out of your hands. Come here to vent/talk whenever you need. We are all here to support one another! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28266 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:14:49 +0000 ALittleP 28266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PennyLainne: Big hugs to you! I have been in your shoes...I know exactly what you're feeling. I had a miscarriage last New Year's Eve and am now pregnant again. It took A LOT longer to get here than I hoped but I'm here and hoping that everything will be normal this time...</p> <p>Getting pregnant again might take more time than you wish but it'll happen again! It definitely gets better. Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28255 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:00:00 +0000 heffalump 28255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry for your loss and that you're having such a hard time. Do you have someone you can talk to about it? Hubby, friend,, family member, maybe try counseling?</p> <p>What helped me after I miscarried was to find some sort of closure. I'm Jewish, and instead of flowers we put rocks on graves. So I found a rock that I love and wrote a message to my baby on the bottom of it. It's in my front yard, where I can see it daily and remember.</p> <p>There are other things you can do too, like make a box and put things in it that remind you of your baby.</p> <p>I feel like you have to take your time to grieve, and still the pain never completely goes away. I now have a healthy 4 month old and I'm still dreading the anniversary of the first due date that never came. It's still hard. But as they say, easier every day.</p> <p>Hope you start feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28252 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:53:05 +0000 banana 28252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. Hang in there girl. I've had 2 MS's in the past so I know how heartbreaking it is, especially when you're TTC and wanting to see a positive pregnancy test so badly. I strongly believe that positive energy and positive thoughts bring strength to your body. Here's wishing you some positive energy and baby dust. Hang in there. This too shall pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-a-funk#post-28248 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:44:47 +0000 PennyLainne 28248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been really moody and just bla lately. Normally I am a very up beat person. I haven't been my self lately. I keep trying to get out of this funk but nothing I do seems to help. I hate wallowing but I just can't stop. I lost a bunch of weight last year and I am gaining it back ... It is just frustrating, I have no ambition to do anything... It has been 2 months since the MC and I just don't know how to move on. AF showed on sunday and it just ..... sucked. On to the next cycle... (Sucked isn't even close to the right word about how it felt when she showed. I don't even know a word to describe how I felt.)</p> <p>I need to do something and eating boxes of Christmas Chocolates is not helping... I know I should work out again and I have tried I get about 2 days in and then I find my self laying on the couch just drained. </p> <p>I just really needed to get that off my chest. Thank you for listening. </p>
