Hi
I'm so sorry about your miscarriage and the distressing experience you had. I had three - with first one it was a bit like urs. I got told to come back in 1 mths time if I didn't pass it naturally ! It was very upsetting and I too felt I was left alone to manage emotional and physical toll of this.
As well as the natural grief ur no doubt feeling I am sure hormonal changes are contributing to how ur feeling. After suffering for so long it's no wonder you've had enough. IM not medically qualified but am sure there is something out there to alleviate ur suffering. If a whole variety of meds have never worked in my opinion drs need to determine this and give u access to different therapies . I have a friend who was exactly like u - no meds worked gave horrible side effects and in the end she found a counsellor and something just clicked. Even though it's been a rocky ride she's in a much better place so don't give up hope. There is something out there for everyone .
Could u ask for a review? Do keep talking to usx

Just wanted to stop by and give you a story of hope. My friend suffered from anxiety, panic attacks, severe depression and suicide attempts. She tried lots of meds. She tried hospital. She tried everything. When she had her first babe she got referred to the perinatal mental health team. Meds made her more anxious because she worried about it passing on etc so they gave her a psychologist - wow! It wasn't instantaneous but several years on she's a whole other person. 2 kids now. She suffered miscarriage too but coped amazingly well considering. She still sees the psychologist when things get tough. I guess looking at the underlying thinking and problems and challenging them really nipped things at the root for her. I know she still has her down days but they don't swallow her whole. Just wanted to share her story - sometimes when you feel like you've tried everything it's just the next thing you try that works. Talking therapy of some sort and a different med might hold some hope for you. You have battled through so much. Keep fighting warrior mama!!! You've got all us cheering you on. Hugs x

I just feel so fed up. I havent had any medication since November just before my miscarriage and my psychiatric Dr cant see me untill the 16 March wixh isn't really any good to me since thats over a month away. Im in a state of high anxiety and crying all day. I really am tempted to take a diazipam because im not coping at all.

Oh hun, you've been through such a tough time it's not fair that they have just left you like this. Please do ring your gp and go in for a chat. You don't need to struggle just because it's not convenient for your psych Dr Given your history I think it's appalling that after something so traumatic as a miscarriage they have just left you to cope on your own. Keep talking hun, you aren't alone xx

Thank you. I dont think they care to be honest. This has been going on for a yr now I just dont see any light at the end of the tunnel. I rang my Dr and have an apointment at 9:30 am. Im going to ask for the mirtazipine. I also took a diazipam about an hr ago. I dont really feel much better. A little less anxious I supposr xx

It's a sorry state of affairs isn't it when you feel the ones who are meant to look after you just don't! It's very hard when in the dark depths to see any light but you will come through this tough time, it's just gonna take time and the right treatment. I'm glad you have an appointment and have decided to take the meds you have. It will take time for them to kick in though so try not to despair if you don't feel immediately better. What about support from your family/friends? Do you have any? I hope you get some progress tomorrow, keep talking and keep me updated hun xx
