Answers:
Hello Tinks.There are many things in play here with you at the moment.May I with great respect suggest you ring your GP tomorrow for an appointment as this would be the best place to start. I suspect you have depression brought on by years of unresolved problems in your life.As you have also sadly had a miscarriage,this has brought everything from that past which appears not to have been dealt with as and when such events have happened.You clearly need proper long-term counselling in which you can unload and unburden yourself.Your GP can make a referral for you and,perhaps,give you some very mild tranquillisers to help reduce the stress on your body and mind. As you have had a miscarriage,I wonder if you are grieving for the loss of your baby. After all,the baby was real and inside you,and I wonder if you have had the opportunity to talk about the baby as a person who was inside you.Your friend is helping you and supporting you which is excellent. Please try and make sure you get the proper help you need for your long-term mental and physical health. It may take a while once counselling begins for you to feel better.The first best step you can take is to make sure you start tomorrow with your GP.I wish you every success for your long-term future and that your recovery will bring better and brighter things in the weeks and months ahead.With all my very best personal wishes.Alan L.
You seem to be really stressed out.

But you should go see somebody or get somebody to talk to. They might be able to put you on something for a little while because you might be developing depression.
Since you have just had a miscarriage it is likely that your body chemistry is off.

Check with your doctor.

He needs to keep track of you until you body chemistry returns to normal.
Well, the first thing to realise is that you are not on your own. Thousands of peole suffer from depression. The second thing is that it is an illness, so don't start getting upset over being depressed. Third, go get some medication. Fourth, take some light exercise - nothing competitive. Fifth, hang out with people you trust who like you. Sixth, be confident it will pass. I have just been thru a terrible period, but it is over now, and I am coming out of it big time and almost back to where I was before. Try not to make life to tough for those aroound you. Contact me if you want!

By the way, Churchill, Oliver Cromwell and the Elder Pitt all suffered from it the same as you. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Also, i found a great cartoon book called 'My black dog..'. Google it. It sums things up better than enything I could say.

Serious answer - go see your GP or see a counsellor, they may be able to offer help and advice or seek a support network/group who can give you the support you need following your miscarriage.

Alternatively - do some exercise, your body will release the natural endorphins that make you feel happy & good about yourself or eat a big bar of chocolate. Hope your feeling better soon. x
uhh maybe u need to treat urself, go get a massage done at a spa, shop, play a game, go outside
do something tht makes u happy
I think it is a combination of all your sad experiences together.The Miscarriage is very traumatic and tragic and too much for you to cope with.Please go for counselling to help you through this or you can e.mail me.
Have you tried having a good heart to heart conversation with your boyfriend.

Discuss all your worries and concerns with him. Make a plan for the future, and arrange to seek help.

You sound as though you have been through a lot, but please do not give up hope. If your boyfriend cares about you, he will be there to help over this difficult time.

Never stop talking and discussing your worries, because no one can help you if they don't know.

Good luck for the future, I wish you well, please take care.
stress worry too many things locked up
talk to someone
and
dont worry
BE HAPPY!

i know it must be difficult for you. some people are more prone the sadness and low moods than others but your depression does have a cause so it is normal for you to be feeling this. if you do start to have feelings of suicide then i strongly suggest you talk to someone wether it be a close friend of your GP. feelings of suicide only get stronger if they are kept bottled up. i hope you feel better soon and like a good friend said to me last year '' just because you cant see the light at the end of the tunnel, doesn't mean it isn't there''.

take care x
See your GP.
