Hey Everyone,

After hearing about my Wife's miscarriage I feel like I can't find a happy moment. I feel this blanket of depression just hovering over me and I don't know what to do. The meditation tapes that helped before now get drowned out with my thinking and I can't seem to clear my mind. What else can I do if the self help skills stop working? I feel so out of touch with reality and I feel like I cant find myself. I feel like I'm just keeping my head above water and I'm slowly losing energy to stay afloat

AK.,

You and your wife have suffered a great loss! What you are feeling is expected and understandable...in other words, it is situational anxiety/depression.

This is an added challenge on top of the pre-existing A/D that was already there...

...but this grief won't be sustained at this level permanently. It will start to fade with time...but for now, you must walk through this part of your story.

Do you and your wife allow each other to talk about your feelings? Can you take turns expressing your grief and comforting the other?

How about journaling your feelings? When is your next therapy appointment, and do you plan on asking for some help then?

I am so very sorry...I know this is awful for you now. I am sending thoughts of comfort and healing in time...

Keep posting...well keep you in support.

S.C.
