Question

So I'm I'm the UK. Its 5:30 and I'm still awake. Exhausted but awake. I have work at 7 and I know I'm going to feel dreadful all day long and won't be able to concentrate. 
A little bit of background...
2 weeks ago at my 12 week scan I found out that I had suffered a missed miscarriage. Long story short I had an ERPC ( Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception ).
Ever since then I have struggled so much with sleeping. I am tired, to the point where my eyes sting and my body starts to ache. But every time I close my eyes I can't help but think about what has happened, how low I feel-how much I wish that this was all a bad dream. 
When I do manage to sleep, for an hour or so even, I dream about my little boy and on waking up I feel so much worse and end up breaking down and crying for as long as I have any tears left. 
I have spoken to my partner, he says it should subside, and that it will take time for me to get back to normal. I just feel as though I never will. 
I feel so low all of the time. I can't concentrate on anything at all. I'm messing things up at work, I'm constantly being off with my partner- which in turn causes arguments which right now I do not have the strength to handle. What do I do? I don't feel as though I should go to the doctors because they will more than likely palm me off with councelling; which I've had before and which helped in no way shape or form ( this was for a previous 'traumatic experience'- if you like). Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading x
Oh and its 5:45 now😢😯

Answer

You need to speak to your doctor about the insomnia and "feeling low". This sounds like depression and after the miscarriage your hormones are trying to go back to normal which doesn't help (I've been there). He may refer you to a therapist. They can help you work through your feelings and possibly provide medication. There is no shame in needing some help and you can't be healthy if you're not sleeping. As a nurse and a woman who also experienced a missed miscarriage, this is not something you "get over" or will just subside. You get THROUGH it and unfortunately it takes time and some work. And we all need some help now and then and what you have been through is considered by some to be a traumatic event. Please call your doctor. I'm so very sorry for your loss and I hope you get the help you need and deserve after all of this. Hugs to you!  💗

Answer

Oh I'm so sorry :-/
What do you want to do? Are you going to try for another baby? How are you feeling otherwise?
I hope you can get some sleep and feel better

Answer

I know things must feel completely out of your control right now which adds on to the stress and pain you are going through, but what you CAN control is how you take care of yourself. You can make sure you're eating foods that help your body to be stronger, drink lots of water, you can sleep when you need, watch a funny movie, listen to a sad song, reach out when you need someone and write out your feelings when you don't... Basically give your body whatever it needs in that moment. Now is the time for you to be selfish and sensitive to your own needs so you can get through this time. I would write out the pain and frustrations and also write out one thing you are thankful for everyday or something you're looking forward to. Make sure to look forward. You must be the healthiest happiest you for any other future baby you want to try for so just work on spoiling yourself for the time being and really leaning on your partner/ friends/ or even a counselor for emotional support. You will get through this-- you just have to believe it first.

Answer

I think you should speak with your doctor. They may refer you out, but it's worth a try again.
