My mom told me I am depressed today.

So...I am actually kinda pissed off. My mom told me I seem depressed today when we were arguing about something small. I had a miscarriage 3 weeks ago, and just today, I am starting to get negative hcg tests. Mood-wise, I gave been on an emotional roller-coaster that ranges from fine to sad to irritated and back again. I think this is to be expected given the grief from the loss and the fluctuating hormones. What pisses me off with what she said is not that she is pointing out that my mood has been volitile, but that she said it in an accusatory way like being depressed after a miscarriage is some how wrong. I guess I might be depressed, but isn't that normal so close to our loss? When she said that, I said "I dunno, maybe, but so what?" She got irritated and walked away. I love my mom, but she can be the most frustrating person on the planet.
